This is by the by - Egypt, Jordan, Iraq and Syria have all marched on Israel simultaneously before now and failed, often quite miserably. I don't see much has changed to facilitate an Arab victory.
The only time all these countries can be said to have marched simultaneously was in 1948 and even then they didn't coordinate their actions well and had troops that were ill trained for the task - even more so than the Israeli's. In 1973, Jordan sent a token contingent to the Golan as a sign of solidarity but King Hussein informed the Israeli's first so they would understand why he did it and so they wouldn't badly maul the Jordanian contingent. King Hussein is even reported to have warned Golda Meir that a war was imminent. Morocco planned to send a dozen F-5s to Syria but the pilots were arrested for being part of a coup plot. The biggest joke [if that's the right word] is that Syria and Egypt both went to war in 1973 for completely different reasons and didn't even bother to tell each other! And the reason they went to war was not to overrun Israel, they knew it was beyond the ability of their armies, that the Americans would come into the picture and that the Soviets would object.
Israel is a political reality and whole region knows that very well, what I tried to explain is the domino effect of changes that are taking place in the region.
Every country there is a political reality and the whole world knows that also! Domino effects are indeed taking place but will not result in the Arabs uniting under a Caliph and all agreeing to march on to Israel, this is an outragous suggestion that does not fit in with hard facts and prsent realities.
Most of the people in the region are waiting for another Saladin to do so.
No offence but you might as well tell me that leftists worldwide are waiting for another Che again and that Italians are waiting for another Duce .... The only people who are waiting for a Caliph [or in your words a Saladin] to lead a future Caliphate stretching from the shores of North Africa to the Gulf of Oman are people like OBL [now deceased off course] and other dreamers, their view is not shared by the majority of Arabs and this was so clearly proven by the Arab Spring, which made AQ and groups like it irrelevant.
If and when the day comes when Arabs take to the streets in their hundreds of thousands demanding that their leaders severe ties with the West, unite all Arab countries into a single political entity with no borders, expel all foreign [read Western] military presence from Arab lands and declare a jihad, then I might start agreeing with you.
Tunisia, Libya, Bahrain are not significant states. That is what precisely I meant people of the region stood up against the despots to convey their voices directly to the new leaders of Middle East. The demands are both domestic and international and Palestinian issue is the beating heart of the region.
And Egypt is not a ''significant'' state? Last I checked, the thousands of people who rallied at Tahir Square did not even mention Israel.... By your logic they would have been demonstrating because Mubarak had closed the Gaza crossing and was being too compliant with U.S wishes not to offend and press Israel, but they didn't did they?
It’s better to study the charter of HAMAS and Islamic Jihad first, only Turkey, Egypt and Jordan recognize the state of Israel.
Turkish/Arab relations in the 1980's and 1990's didn't go as far as the Turks would have wished due to the traditional distrust the Arabs have with the Turks, due to the Ottoman history. The Turks also do not have any land that is occupied by Israel. Egypt signed Camp David [didn't bother to inform its so called Arab partners before doing so] and became beholden to U.S. economic support, and Mubarak's main focus after coming into power was regime survival. Jordan's main fear post-1967 was that Israel would drive the Palestinians onto Jordanian territory [the Israeli's did threaten this] - this would have endagered the very existance of the Hashimite kingdom, thus King Hussein had to play both sides and play nice with Israel, whom he also looked to for protection against Assad the elder.
(Netanyahu said many times during his election campaign that if election takes place today in Palestine then HAMAS will be the definite winner against Fatah).
Well he would say that wouldn't he? What he won't say is that Israel courted Hamas as an alternative to Fatah and he won't say that the Palestnians voted for Hamas as they were totally fed up with the corrupt Fatah. We've gone full circle here, Fatah was a ''
terrorist'' group, then it became a ''
partner'' for peace when it engaged in talks, then it became a an ''
obstacle'' to peace after the talks failed and then became a ''partner'' again when it again agreed to talks but was then ditched by the Palestinians - and now the ''West'' and Israel would prefer that the Palestnians vote for Fatah again....
60 odd years are not long time in human civilization so is in the case of modern Israeli state, what I foresee is the survival of Israeli state is on stake (you may disagree and your assessment might be contrary of mine).
First of all, Israel is a nuclear power, secondly its enjoys the unconditional support of the world's sole superpower, thirdly the Arabs have better things to do and their own pressing problems to address. Like I mentioned before, contrary to what you believe, the average Arab does not go to bed every night dreaming of destroying Israel.
(you may disagree and your assessment might be contrary of mine).
Indeed I do disagree and yes my assessment us totally contrary to yours.
