The not so secret SECRET in the Middle East is that the Arabs hate the Palestinians. The only purpose they serve is a club to use on the Zionists. After 60+ years of Israeli success, combined with unchecked Persian ambition to dominate the region, most Arab governments came to the conclusion that enlightened self interest dictates the shift we now see. Thanks.
If it were only up to the regional politics, that would play itself out quickly. But there are delegates and officials in the UN who actually believe that there’s an indigenous people called the Palestinians, and that they’re really oppressed and persecuted, and that that’s the driving force of instability in the Middle East, and if only the Jooos! would relent, everything would be donkey whore-y. They’re paid good money to believe this. Probably by the Persians with their unchecked ambition, among others. And the UN can be despised and jeered, but they’re still a real force and they can’t be ignored. For that and many other reasons, among them tradition, nothing in this region makes any sense. I live in kookoo-land, in an island of sometimes sanity, surrounded by kookoo countries, surviving despite the insane interference of the UN, a body that promotes world peace by constantly exacerbating conflict when they aren’t instigating it. Trump’s new initiatives are like a ray of sunshine in all this. Hope nobody assassinates him.
