Arab League preparing to ask UN to recognize Palestinian state.

What about the Arab League demanding recognition of a Kurdish state in Turkey, Syria, and Iraq? Or demanding that Syria be held accountable for the mass slaughter of Syrians?

Only thing all these regimes can agree upon is that Israel is a wedge issue that keeps all concerned in business as a relief valve and MacGuffin. It’s a shiny object that gets tossed out there when things go bad for Arab regimes (and it’s always bad economically and socially, so it remains persistent throughout much of the ME).
