-We must make distinctions when talking about "arab" regimes, because they are not comparable.
1) first we have the arrierating powerful islamo-wahabis usa-allies. Their center is saoudia, and they have NO SINGLE progressive project. in fact, their only war is declared against the othe muslim "kuffars" (that is, every muslim not enough wahabi). they perceive other arab nations, state models and islamic "sects" or "philosophies" as absolute ennemies, much much more than zionism or US emperialism.
2) then we have the arab secular progressists, where the heart is syria (and was lebanon before the civil war). their aim is to create a single arab country bi-religious (including christian arabs and muslim arabs with all their factions), and their main ennemy is naturally : US imperialism. whose main tool here, in this precise context, is israeli expansionnism or even israeli existence. USA (and behind it israel) will never accept to have a rivaling power in the region, especially if it is out-of-control.
3) we have the "old" countries that were either in 1) or 2), but renounced after many events : egypt lost the war with israel and partially its sovreignty (camp david agreements stipulate that egypt have not the right to put its army inside its own sinai...), jordan have "monarchic" dreams in iraq and want to save itself, and other arab or arabo-islamic states have no more any political project. they are just following the trends adn especially the orders from their main protector (usa), mainly from their own people (progressive movements, islamo-nationalist movemnts, islamo-imperialist movements...) .
-we must understand that the level of underdeveloppement (intellectual, political) in these countries is spectacular. NO SINGLE ARAB COUNTY HAVE ANY KIND OF SELF-RELIANCE, neither in economy, nor in politicsn nor in intelelctual movements, nor in industry, nor in technology, nor in MILITARY...
none.nichts.nada.rien.
THE WORST is that they have NO PLANS ot have ANY KIND of self suffucience. at the contrary, the huge "investments" these usa-allies (AND enven usa-ennemies ) autocratic regimes (monarchic or republican is jsut a label; syria have just invented "the hereditary republic", saoudia is a tribal monarchy, etc...) with the benediction of out side powers (mainly the NATO tribe) are aimed to BUY BUY BUY. simple.
if you want to sum up the situation lf arabs, its easy : there is NO SINGLE arabe state. there are arab or arabized or arab sepaking popualtions, but NO ingle arab state in the true definition of a state. no arab state is enough sovreigbn, autonomous or independant to be considered seriously that it exists.
This is why it is fundamental to never compare any arab state with states like turkey, iran, malaysia, india, pakistan. rather compare them to the poorest (politically and humanly, not physically) african countries, who also have no sovreignty and no plans to be trully fully independant.
-what I hope that you understand, is that the dream of full indepenandce, as much as the projects, is simply inexistant now in our countries.
this situation is amplified by the emergence of anti-nationalists movements, especially the islamo-imperialists , or nationalist utopists movements (i.e having no serious solid project for the nation) from the desperate populations. (you as asians can understand the despair is noit necessarily linked to economical situation, but also to identity/ideology; contrary to westerners whom the analysis is limited -on purpose- to economial/poverty problems...).
What does that means ? israel is able to do what she wants. if so, and if no one wants or CAN stop israel and create a counter-power to the 4th military power and let's be clear, the first mediatic, political and ideological power in the world, nothing will stop israel from pursuing its dreams of a srious long term survivable "vital space".
-about the withdrawal from gaza: israel is back. in fact, when zionsits talk about a palestinian state, they mean mostly a palestinian ghetto, with a puppet governement and no real indepandance. morover, the incidents of Gaza (kidnapping of the soldier) are just happening when Britih Gaz discovered a huge reserve of gaz in Gaza !
I ask anyone talking about israelis giving back what they've stolen to understand : israel NEVER gives back anything, WITHOUT gaining something BETTER.
remember: israel is a powerful, well managed, intellgient and brillant ultra-nationalist nation-state. this means that the israeli intelligencia is not some puppet corrupt stupid pseudo-elite, but rather they love their nation (beni israel) and want to serve it. this means, and they know it, that with or withotr arabs, wars, muslims or anything, israel NEED to expand. it may take 10 years or 100 years, but it's a logical necessity, otherwise, israel won't be viable to the 30 millions jews worldwide, or israel would be so much reliant on its lobbies outside (that could one day or another weakened , espcially if the citizens of democratic countries begin to understand ) that its 90% power (political, ideological, mediatic : remember, wars are first won and lost INSIDE MINDS and HEARTS) will be lost.
let's sum up : everytime israel goes to war, it wins territory. depending on the strategical importance of the territory (water, petrol, minerals, strategic place are strategical teritories) israel either take it definitly (watever the declarations are) or negociate it against a GREATER objective (sinai : egypt lost its full ovreignty, aligned with israel, was put under usa "care", opened its market and diplomacy. egypt "won" a desert). just remeber, sheba'a farms are full of water and are in a strategic region, they won't be given back. but hezbolalh will be disarmed and potentially, lebanon could enter in a civil conflict again (or at least a cold war between the factions).
the only countries who can deal seriously with israel and US empire are those who have genious chess palying elites, who can project and prepare the very long term and who have enough nationalism AND realism (not utopiand nationalism, but teh nationalism that gives con,cret results for the people and the military at least).
