Like let's put aside socialism, morals, basic humanity. Why the fuck does the west support Israel to the degree it does? Like it only alienates basically every other potential partner in the ME. It can't effectively serve as a barracks state because who would we need that army to fight that wouldn't only make things worse? Their economy is basically propped up by the USA. Yes they serve as a platform for weapons and systems testing, but they don't need a complete blank cheque too it. Like I don't get this logic. Cut em a check and pull bibi's leash and wash your hands of it. Like the logic of "Unconditional 110% support" is just fuckin nuts. Yeah sure a good bit of it us ideology, but there has to be some matrierial calculus in there somewhere. They are basically sacrificing the baby Ukraine over this.

The number one obstacle towards Arab unity is without a shadow of a doubt the Zionist entity. It's there as the source of instability. Even with the Zionist entity, there were still projects aimed towards Arab unity like the United Arab Republic, the United Arab States, the Federation of Arab States, and the Arab Islamic Republic. These projects proved to be failures, but they were failures because of the Zionist entity. Imagine if Nasser didn't have an Israel to deal with and the United Arab Republic stretched from Egypt to Palestine to Syria. It's very possible a snowball effect would happen and more countries like Algeria, Libya, and South Yemen would join before eventually, much of the Arabia Peninsula and North Africa is unified under a federation, if not a single country. And with unity comes strength.
