- "Israel's relentless and increasingly hysterical war-mongering against Iran;"
- Washington's imperial ambitions and complicity with Israel; and
- Suni Arab League despots' hostility towards Iran, Shias and Alawis.
Partnering with Washington and Israel is self-destructive. Israeli "war fever rests on a blatant falsehood: that Iran poses an 'existential threat' to the Jewish people. What a joke!"
"Israel wants unfettered military supremacy." It wants regional hegemony. It wants rivals removed. Washington has its own regional and global designs. Achieving them means permanent wars.
Middle East states have much to lose by supporting policies this destructive. Seale calls what's ongoing "the latest phase of the struggle for Arab independence."
Britain and France controlled the region after the Ottoman Empire collapsed. After them came Israel's threat. Combined with Washington, it's menacing. Arab states should understand that regional wars steal their "little real independence"."
Instead of siding with America and Israel, their future depends on partnering to prevent war. It's also about working together cooperatively, recognizing each other's sovereignty, and growing the region economically for their mutual benefit.
Discussions during Tehran's Non-Alignment Movement summit feature these ideas. If policies and determined implementation emerge, imagine the possibilities. Imagine a region and world at peace instead of war. Imagine survival instead of extermination.
