It's baffling to me that it had to be made. Why would a country be equated to a religion? It's like saying the current Saudi government represents all of Islam
I think Israel is a case of both strong payoff (many people really dislike/push back against antisemitism in a way that they simply don't for islamophobia; the words we have for them are weirdly not parallel), and concentrated spending for a long while.
The Saudi government probably could make itself such an icon, they have the money and the leverage. But I suspect it doesn't benefit them much.
