Agreed and I do hold Netanyahu and the Israeli govt to account for the horrors inflicted on the Palestinian people.
But you have to flip it and also look at Hez and Hamas and also hold them to account for their antics as well.
If you take a brief look at the ME
1. Israel - Bad guys
2. Hez - Bad guys
3. Hamas - Bad guys
4. Iran - Bad guys
5. Saudi - Bad guys
6. Syria - Bad guys
7. Turkey - Bad guys
There’s not many left in the region that you could define as sane and stable. The whole region is a mess.
Two of those sets of bad guys would not exist except for the antics of the bad guys at #1. I have a hard time believing that Syria would be ruled by the people it is if those at #1 had never existed, and as for Iran I think we would be in a much better place now if the neocons hadn't pumped that regime up with abundant and absolutely justified concerns about being targeted for regime change.
Finally with regards to Saudi and Turkey, both are having to deal with a world that is changing faster than they can keep up with (more so for Saudi than Turkey).
