he alternative would be Hamas/Iranian hegemony
Not necessarily. Don't forget Saudi Arabia and Egypt have a significant voice.
But, where are they?
All over. Jordan, Qatar, Egypt, SA, UAE. I think we have for far too long projected our way of doing things into an area that finds our way ineffective and problematic. We need to look at each place organically and realize that it may not be beneficial for Saudis, for example, to trumpet full blast that the Iranian mullahs must fall. It may be more beneficial and effective for Saudis to be quiet and work behind the scenes.
and the end of the jewish people in the ME!
Did you know that a lot of religious Jews, including influential rabbis, thought the Zionist movement was a dumb idea that shouldn't be done? I think Israel has a right to exist, but it doesn't have to be what Bibi wants it to be.
