MEMRI: Cold War in MidEast. Saudi/Egypt/Jordan vs. Iran/Syria/Qatar
Human Affairs, Uncommon Sense
It’s unlikely you will get this from any American Media, but you should know what a ripsaw that Israel faces. The so-called Moderate Egypt+ vs. Evil Iran+.
Egypt claims to protect Palestinians and Iran just exploits and victimizes them, putting them as the ultimate victim, when it is Israel who allows Muslims in its Knesset gov’t.
No Arab or Iranian gov’t has any non-islamic representatives. Perhaps Iraq, who is conspicuously NOT mentioned will actually be the reasonable voice in the Arab World + Iran. Pakistan is also not mentioned, but we must consider them, or at least the gov’t with Egypt and the Secret Police ISI with Iran.
Pakistan, allowing Khan to be free, has probably agreed only to share his Nuclear Devices with Saudi and Egypt ‘moderates’.
All of whom, especially with more than just Pakistan, will be able to finally wipe Israel off the map … they think.
Oh yea, we all forgot Kim Jung IL, his missiles are headed for the launchers, I hear. So he is rabidly against Israel as they blew up their project in Syria (or nuclear projects).

Here were my comments,
Caroline as usual - ahead of the curve
I recently read this article http://www.memri.org/bin/latestnews.cgi?ID=IA49209
It shows, not completely, but substantively the ripsaw that Israel faces: It’s like the good enemy, Egypt, and the bad enemy, Iran. There is not a breath, or a thing that Israel can do that will please both, or either on a given day.
I agree to not let the fox, Livni, in. It is bad enough that you are lousy with self-destructive forces in the Knesset.
This article refers to a ‘Cold War’, which is grandiose enough, but its really a Cold War of good enemy-bad enemy, one uses the pen to invade, the other the worst nuclear holocaust. It is like the Repub. vs. Democrats now in USA. A false choice or rather a choice, neither of which leads anywhere, but misery. Our Republican was chosen by both Democrats and others, and he was continually doing the splits between the two factions, and in the process exposed his jewels, which were emasculated, and was justly portrayed as weak and ineffectual.
I trust that Netanyahu is up on his Game Theory, and will not mistake appeasement for advantage. It’s been a while for me, but opposing the enemy, especially a two-headed one is difficult because winning may not lead to a good outcome, but one that can more easily be defeated by one of the enemies. Hence tit for tat in Gaza, makes Israel seem to be the bully, and in so doing, Israel gives up, and then Iran claims victory. That dynamic is depressing to the spirit of Israel. It is common knowledge that it is a false victory, and enhancing that seed would also be a good idea.
Israel has several important either neutral or slightly positive allies; they need to be part of the advantage, rather than ignored and appeasing the false friends that surround Israel, and that idiot in N. Korea.
Stay Strong, brave and true.
