The UK is siding with Gaza. They are working on a plan to recognize Palestine as a state. At this point, they are looking for another nation to join them & it’s being “assumed” that France will be joining them & hopes that the rest of the UN nations will follow suit.
Not sure, but the US is looking more and more like the evil side by supporting genocide. History will judge us harshly.
What about these other attacks? I’m not talking about just Israel and Gaza. The US will be thrilled if Israel and the Palestinians work out a two state plan and finally have peace.
Do you think other ME countries want Iran and friends bombing other parts of the region?
@LadyMarissa They want to recognize Palestine as a state? Does that include leaving Israel as a state, or does that mean recognizing the entire region as Greater Palestine? If the UK can work a deal for a two-state solution I’m all for it. I’ve said for years that probably Europe has to broker the deal, the US won’t be able to do it.
Saudi Arabia and Iran represent two major poles in the region. So it may look like Saudi Arabia and its allies vs. Iran and its allies. I doubt we would see a WWI-like situation of large allied blocs declaring war on each other in rapid succession, but I think conflict would roughly align along those lines. I’m not sure how Israel and Palestine fit into it (they are effectively an outlier), nor how Europe or Turkey might get involved, but someone with more geopolitical expertise can hypothesize. In either case, while I don’t think “World War III” is imminent, I do think if and when it happens, it will center on the Middle East.
