And that posture ignores the culpability of some of these regimes in perpetuating the conflict to avoid having to take responsibility for the sorry state of affairs in their own countries.

Israel is an anathema to the Arab states and it’s a ritual punching bag for all that ails them. Bad economy in Saudi Arabia or Iran? Blame Israel. Etc.

The mindset has hardened over the past 60+ years, and saying that the US has to act in a more impartial manner towards Israel ignores that the Arabs are refusing to take responsibility for their own actions and their own plight.

That has to change.
