Carrol, I mostly agree with you. Israel is in the middle east as imperal middleman and, it's not like the great powers ever gave a good goddamn about where brown people live. I mean should we care whether the cockroaches are under the refrigerator (Palestine) or under the stove (Jordan)?
But you're leaving out the possibility of revolution in the Middle East. Of course, the Israelis have already said that this would justify nuclear action.
