Analysis: "Arab states will do little to prevent Israel & US from remaking the region."

Arab states have crushed their own past uprisings &, in contrast to their own populations, have very little to say or do about Palestine. Arab regimes are seeking alliances with Israel & the US. ~Abdullah Al-Arian
