Be curious to hear how they weigh in on things.

They're in a mess of their own doing, for the most part..especially Saudi Arabia..our friends.

Kudos to Joe Biden on his recent call out, he spoke the truth.

I don't think they do.

The members of the Arab league do things like this to distract their populace from how repressed they are, as opposed to the rest of the world. So it benefits the Arab League governments to use Israel as a boogeyman.

I wonder what they would do if Israel were to withdraw completely from the West Bank, grant the Palestinians sovereignty over the Islamic holy sites in Jerusalem. Who would be their boogeyman then?

They'd demand lifting the siege of Gaza and Right of Return.

two parties many years ago. They not long ago accepted at Kerry's request
to change the Arab Initiative or whatever they call it, for land swaps that
will benefit Israel, not the Palestinians...they were not on the same page about
that before the ME was a total disaster area.

within some of the worst leaders of the most oppressive Arab states? Yes, more now than
ever because they're responsible for the blow back they have created in their own countries
and the region, imo. i.e..ISIS

Has US foreign policy in the ME been disastrous in recent history? Yes
See Iraq and Libya..now Syria, etc. Go back even earlier to Iran..terrible policies.

Has Israeli policy toward the Palestinians been a thorn in the side of this region in the world? Undeniable.


Being dependent upon the people who create unrest willingly or not, for their own ideology, greed,
power, what have you..to depend on them all now to fix it can give one great pause to believe if
that is possible.

Here is what they had supported in the past:

snip* I. What is the international consensus for resolving the Israel-Palestine conflict?

One of the best kept diplomatic secrets is that a broad international consensus has long existed on how to settle the Israel-Palestine conflict. (1) Although this conflict has been depicted as among the most intricate, the authoritative political, legal and human rights bodies in the world in fact concur on the basis of its resolution. In the jargon of the so-called peace process, the “final status” issues are supposed to be so intractable that they need be deferred until the last stage of negotiations. These final status issues include borders, East Jerusalem, settlements, and refugees. The documentary record shows, however, that, on the terms for resolving these allegedly “controversial” issues, Israel and the United States stand virtually alone.

The United Nations General Assembly annually votes on a resolution titled, “Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine.” This resolution uniformly includes these tenets for “achieving a peaceful settlement of the question of Palestine”:

“Affirming the principle of the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war”;
“Affirming also the illegality of the Israeli settlements in the territory occupied since 1967 and of Israeli actions aimed at changing the status of Jerusalem”;
“Stresses the need for: (a) The realization of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, primarily the right to self-determination; (b) The withdrawal of Israel from the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967”;
“Also stresses the need for resolving the problem of the Palestine refugees in conformity with its resolution 194 (III) of 11 December 1948.”

Here is the recorded vote on this resolution the past decade:

for every one of those dictators, am I right? May they rule forever.

And in a few cases, they have been successful.

Not an unusual occurrence in the annals of history (see Napolean, for example).
