When the Arab countries join Israel in destroying Hamas, and other Islamic terrorist organizations, it will have meaning. Otherwise, it’s just baloney.

As long as numbskulls are calling Israel names like Hitler and Nazis …. wait a minute!! Those titles have already been assigned to George W Bush and Trump.
Maybe the name they should use is Stalin.

I think it matters now.

Gulf states can’t do anything from where they are. Kill people, maybe.

What they can do is make the U.S. “restraint and negotiation” strategy even more ridiculous. Our pathetic state department has a firm commitment to Middle East/Islamic solidarity. They just can’t accept any actions that would imply division in the region other than between Israel and ALL Islamic states.

When Trump moved the embassy to Jerusalem these folks, whose entire careers depended on ideas that they have long since oommited to in position papers, nearly had a fit. The move would outrage the Middle East. It didn’t.

This war is supposed to outrage the Middle East. It doesn’t.

To the extent that the Gulf States and Egypt like Israel at all, it is because the want to take advantage of Israel’s strength, not Israel’s “restraint” or its nimbleness and patience at the negotiating table.

Saudi Arabia’s biggest trading partner in the Middle East is Israel. Little known “secret” that’s rarely mentioned but mostly ignored by all there.

If the Palis weren’t killing Israelis the rest of the Arab world would consider them nuisances, like they do for the Yemenis.

That's exactly what I said would happen on November 1, most recently posted here.

Excerpt:


The "Arab Street" is a bogeyman that the left created since the Iran hostage crisis to paralyze the United States into inaction in the Middle East. Our leaders keep convincing themselves to do nothing decisive because it will "inflame the Arab Street," or now that it will "coalesce the region into a real Military alliance against Israel." Is this really true, or is this just another bogeyman to talk us out of acting decisively? In 1979, we were told that whatever we did would become "recruitment posters" for the Islamic Jihadists, and so we did nothing.

I think the true "Arab Street" is tired of the constant fighting, and they're equally tired of being told that they only say that privately but that publicly they have to support their Arab neighbors. The Trump "Abraham Accords" was a very public peace plan between Israel, the UAE, and Bahrain that belies the notion that Israel's neighbors don't want peace.

[snip]

I think that places like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, and other wealthy neighboring states want to see the radical Islamists stopped and would be happy to see Israel do it once and for all. THIS is something they may have to say privately so that the religious fanatical Jihadists don't turn on them, but I don't think the bogeyman of the "Arab Street" coalescing against Israel is a real threat.

the HAMAS, PLO and Hezbollah are only dogs in the fight. The leash holder for these terrorist organizations is the United Nations as a proxy for IRAN. The UN is evil and corrupted to the core. It was unwise to become in such a manner entangled with cultures that harbor nothing but contempt for western values. The mullahcracy of Iran is an evil entity that must be destroyed in order to root out the metastatic tumor of jewhating islamism festering the heart of mankind.

No. It is the Obama-Biden administration that is the greatest international threat to Israel. The UK. The US. And Western civilization.

Israel should tell the Saudis to keep their filthy muzzie yaps shut or they’ll let them face Iran on their own.

Then publicly demand these Arab states each take 500,000 Gazans in.

...why they don’t want Palestinian refugees roaming wild in their country: they bring trouble.

Exactly right. And that's why we should never bring them to this country. But FJB and his gang actually WANT that sort of trouble.
