>>1740957>The US doesn't support democratic states simply because they're democratic. It supports states which are useful. Saudi Arabia is a close ally in spite of the fact that it's an Islamic state, and Mubarak was an ally until recently ("our guy" and a "family friend" of the Obama admin).cpt. obvious strikes again? You can make the middle east pro-american but you cannot make it pro-zionist. if we get to chose who to drop, it will be israel. remember how you supported the "moderate islamists" in Turkey. When they pulled a motherfucking purge against the whole kemalist establishment, they've gotten an applause there, in the West.
Their first step was to realign Turkey against Israel. Remember the Egyptian rebels, lauded as freedom fighters here - their first step was, again, to lift the blockade again Gaza. They have released all Muslim Brotherhood activists from the jails. This wave of revolutions is ought to be both Islamic/Anti-Zionist and Liberal/Pro-American.
You are bound not to give a fuck being the phlegmatic westerner, but for us, liberals IN THE MIDDLE EAST, this "Great Middle East Project" is treason
>So there's still reason to support Israel. It's a servant of the US.It does have a sizable army and it does have nukes but it brings you in great disfavour with the arab masses. There are 9 million Jewish (family ties) voters in America against 8 million Arab (Al Jazeera) ones.
