The head of states that were/are against Israel are the ones that won’t survive, : Saddam, the former Egyptian ones, Soviet/Russian allied Syria.
GCC is in alliance with America, in alliance with America means friendly with Israel.??
I ask myself, do you really believe in all this or are you on weed ?
The 5th fleet US navy HQ is GCC, any difference between the US and Israel ?
Like @
GTR66 mentioned above, Israel happens to be the 51st state of the US. And GCC is allied with the US, so we do have a peculiar situation, where GCC do not have diplomatic ties with the de facto 51st state of an ally.
But you have got to extend your horizon a bit to understand why this is so. Since Israel happens to be the 51st state of the US, the leading state of NATO alliance, an alliance that control not just more than 50% of world economy, but dominate militarily as well, in any part of the globe, then GCC or even the entire Arab League or even the whole Muslim world is no match for this NATO alliance, who backs up the little state of Israel.
So to think that by being hostile to Israel, at this point in time history, anyone will gain anything is foolish to say the least. Israel, the bad boy, will simply get away with murder and steal as much land as possible. And no one will be able to do anything about it, regardless of how Iran and their proxies jump up and down making a show for the gullible Sunni Muslim masses.
So in my opinion, GCC has the right strategy. King Faisal's oil embargo after Yom Kippur war was the only time Saudi relationship with the US was strained. It was an exceptional time of war and it called for exceptional measures.
Since then the relationship went back to normal and it will remain like this, with occasional ups and downs due to unhelpful actions of US Presidents, such as Obama.
Several things may change this situation:
- more integration between peninsular Arab states creating a greater GCC
- more integration of Arab League
- a military alliance of Sunni Muslim states together with China (Sino-Muslim alliance)
In 2-3 decades, China will have a much larger role in Middle-east, Muslim world and the globe in general, so it all depends on how well, the Muslim world can get ready and prepare to take advantage of that new situation and thus change their own tragic situation on world stage. And the key will be human development, adoption of indigenous manufacturing and improvement of science and technology to achieve that desired future. Eventually Muslim world will have to be independent of China as well, as China, although it can be an effective counterbalance for the US for a time, all global powers, when they reach a certain level will start having their own imperial hubris, just the like the US has today. So in the end, Muslim countries must plan to depend on other fellow Muslim countries, much more so than any other state. Hopefully Shia's will come to their senses by then and give up their futile supremacy dreams over Sunni's.
So in short, when the Muslim world will be ready to pick a fight with the West, perhaps due to an alliance with China and due to their improved situation, and if China agrees to such a conflict, only then there can be a serious negotiation with Israel and some results can be expected. Till then it is just a waste of time, blood and treasure to pick a fight with someone you cannot win. And repeating the same thing without any results to show for is a sign of insanity.
