Arab Leaders Silent, Viewing Hamas as Worse Than Israel
[NY Times] Battling Paleostinian bully boyz in Gazoo two years ago, Israel found itself pressed from all sides by unfriendly Arab neighbors to end the fighting.Not this time. After the military ouster of the Islamist government in Cairo last year, Egypt has led a new coalition of Arab states — including Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , the United Arab Emirates and Jordan — that has effectively lined up with Israel in its fight against Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,, the Islamist movement that controls the Gazoo Strip. That, in turn, may have contributed to the failure of the antagonists to reach a negotiated cease-fire even after more than three weeks of bloodshed. "The Arab states' loathing and fear of political Islam is so strong that it outweighs their allergy to Benjamin Netanyahu," the prime minister of Israel, said Aaron David Miller, a scholar at the Wilson Center in Washington and a former Middle East negotiator under several presidents. "I have never seen a situation like it, where you have so many Arab states acquiescing in the death and destruction in Gazoo and the pummeling of Hamas. The silence is deafening."
