Much of the support for Israel is a consequence of Cold War politics. Had so many Arab nations not been aligned with the Soviet Union, things might have turned out a little different.

When Assad's regime in Syria was challenged, Iranians and even a few Russians came to die for them. Weapons and cash was sent. When Gaddafi was in a similar position, Africans poured in to help even though it was futile. Where are Pakistan's allies? Why do we not see Chinese volunteers...
