Arab elites have never really cared that much about the Palestinians, always seeing them as an obstacle to normalisation with Israel, and seeing them as a nuisance as refugees in their countries.

That's because they're all Dictatorships, not caring for their own populations, let alone the Palestinians.

They want Israeli spyware that has been so effective in knowing everything Palestinians do, with the exception of October 7. That allows Israel to demonize Palestinians as sub human so the hypocritical US-WEST could turn a blind eye to the Israeli Genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

Israel KNEW October 7 was about to happen and let it happen so they could start the genocide in Gaza with little criticism or push back from the US except for idle lip service.

US Christian Zionist Nationalists ignore these significant Scriptures in the Revelation of Jesus Christ the Jew.

[9] I know your works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but you art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the Synagogue of Satan. Revelation 2

[9] Behold, I will make them of the Synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. Revelation 3

I totally agree with you, George, but let's be honest here: it's not going to come from the leaders but from the people. Someone said recently, both accurately and succinctly, it's the people of the world versus the governments (and I would add the oligarchs). They have all the weapons and money, we have bodies and righteousness.

yes. the problem with George's approach here is the nearly universal sloppiness of referring to countries as though they were people. The situation bears closer examination. WHY are the damn few people who actually have any say choosing to ally with Israel?

Agree with that observation - Corporations Nations and Government are not people and should not be referred to as such.

People cannot hold government accountable while a government does nothing but hold people accountable - in the end it's corporations that hold government accountable to their agenda - on top of that we're in the final stages of globalization - a one world government digital ID etc etc - >> https://rumble.com/v5j1hm5-shadowring-documentary-full.-defining-the-globalist-nwo-agenda.-the-council.html

Why?

Our supposedly political representative government have sold out - they've sold their souls in exchange for rewards and thrown the plebs under the bus - [and then there's the Epstein option]

In the end we don't have government we have governance.

Iranians are not Arabs and Arabs have never been united.

I have little faith in ''using the UN and the International Criminal Court to hold Israel accountable'' - It's never going to work as the UN and the ICC serve the interests of the oligarchs the war profiteers the banker cabal etc.

Think about how the Ottoman empire was replaced by a ''Judeo Christian'' empire which carved up the territories and installed puppet governments - now we have a divide and concur which explains the lack of unity.

These event require long term planning - the people involved with these events are multigenerational.

All wars are bankers wars and war is a racket.

Yes, I remember the late great Edward Said bemoaning the lack of unity in the Arab world and the craven subservience of the leadership of some states to imperial interests. Even though I don’t live in the region and viewing from afar, it would seem that the regimes in Egypt, Jordan and Morocco are not that popular and could collapse through the efforts of popular movements. I’m old enough to remember how a few years before the fall of the Shah things seem stable in Iran and the revolution in 1978/79 seem to come out of nowhere. Realize that Iran is not part of the Arab world, but as an historical example it would seem that that the regimes in these countries are on shaky ground. Also I would tend to agree with Historians Ilan Pappe and Shir Hever that the zionist project has entered its terminal stage and Israel itself is facing serious economic and political issues which will lead to its collapse. Anyway can’t help feeling ashamed in the way my government has contributed to the devastation and suffering in the region.

So Russia will simply allow this to happen? Netanyahu's a psychopath, as we all know, while these reckless neocons in Washington who support the monster and his genocide must be batshit crazy and, above all, stupid.

It's really a sad situation. It seems to me that all these countries, at some level, kow tow to the big bad crazy US. Underneath it also seems that nations wishing to join BRICS may turn on the US at the right time For THEM.

Lavrov, Putin, China, etc. all seem smarter to me than these vile dominators in DC. The Saudis, UAE, Turkey do not seem trustworthy to me either.

The US is dooming itself and us. Your thoughts?

Israel, with the full support of the overwhelming majority of its citizens, says that it's people were given that land by God and are its appropriate rulers--in other words, they're the master race, the chosen people. They say the natives are "human animals," vermin, untermenschen who can appropriately be exterminated in this Final Solution because the Zionists need the lebensraum. Until recently, it seemed like the biggest difference between the Zionazis and the German Nazis of the Third Reich was that the latter were bent on conquest and expansion, and for a while it looked like they were going to conquer all of Europe. But now it looks like in this, too, the Zionists are following the playbook of the Third Reich--how ironic that the German Nazis prime victims' descendants are picking up that playbook and trying to create a Fourth Reich. But here's another big difference--the rising power helped defeat the Nazis, but now, as a fading power, is the bulwark that allows the Zionazis to go striding around the Middle East pillaging and conquering. Perhaps this will be key in the defeat of both Israel and the US empire--may it be so.

It sounds like a plan, I wish the Arab countries would finally unite, although arab leaders are all played like puppets for the west, all our resources are stolen for the west, while the majority of the Arab public suffers. I think once the young generation who is highly educated, humanistic, fair and balanced makes their voices heard, new progressive just leadership will emerge.
