Since its birth, the state of Israel has been on fatal terrain. It either fights with intensity or perishes.
The fate of Palestinians was sealed at the Camp David Acords by none other than one of their own, Mr. Arafat. Was there no one with a functioning brain to gameplay the acords criteria to see what it would lead to? That CDA should have crystallized the American intentions, and to continue hoping the Americans would intervene as a neutral mediator is lunacy.
Although, the past year of killing has been at a level that has effectively and obvious shown that camps David accords are dead, or at least that is how the Israelis see it. It doesn’t matter that the PLO, Egyptians and Jordanians want to live in the delusion that it can be salvaged. Heck even common Jordanians (not of Palestinian descent) are attacking and killing Israelis. And these are those not under Iranian influence. Pandora’s box had been opened for the survival of all the regimes of the region, especially considering the economic state of the nations of the region, unlike what they were when the camp David accords were signed (even Saudi’s NEOM is failing). In the unipolar moment, The US interests were co-opt with regard to the Middle East, by the neo-cons, with 20 years squandered in the “GWOT”, and now that alternatives are arising, it will costly for US’ own primary interests, outcompeting China.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely, and not realizing that Israel won’t stick to its agreements without something compelling it, financial leverage by Arab states on Western markets is the only “peaceful” method to challenge the status quo.
Otherwise they will be picked off one by one like Iraq, Somalia, Libya, Lebanon, Syria, and Sudan. They are just down to Iran from their original list of 7 and have been designating Yemen for over a decade now.
General Clark explains the “policy coup” by the neo-cons. He explains that Wolfowitz, in 1991, explained their vision.
The following is a
very very important video, and should show the Arab peoples if not their regimes that an economically strong (not necessarily militarily strong) China, a counter balance to a co-opted west, is the only way for them to survive, unfortunately. America’s unipolar moment was co-opted in the unipolar moment.
