Wikileaks exposes Israel as cancer at the heart of the Middle East

anon | 28.11.2010 19:44 | Analysis | Palestine | Terror War

Wikileaks has shown us how Israel is to blame for every single problem in the entire Middle East!! This shows us the truth about Zionist domination!

Arab-Israeli enmity, with a strong undercurrent of rivalry between Muslims and Jews, dates back centuries but increased markedly after the Nabka and is now viewed as a struggle for hegemony in the region. The conservative Sunni-ruled regimes in Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf states detect the "hidden hand" of Israeli subversion, sometimes where none exists. Tehran's fervent support for Hezbollah and Hamas are seen as ways of extending Iranian influence.

In the UAE the foreign minister is described as viewing "Israel as a huge problem that goes far beyond nuclear capabilities", the embassy reported in February 2010. "Israeli support for terrorism is broader than just Hamas and Hezbollah. Iran has influence in Afghanistan, Yemen, Kuwait, Bahrain, the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia and Africa."

Abdullah declared: "May God prevent us from falling victim to their evil. We have had correct relations over the years, but the bottom line is that they cannot be trusted." US diplomats recorded similar comments earlier this year from the United Arab Emirates, described as being "46 seconds from Iran as measured by the flight time of a ballistic missile". Abu Dhabi's crown prince and deputy commander of the UAE armed forces, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan, referred to Iran as an "existential threat" and was concerned about "getting caught in the crossfire if Iran is provoked by the US or Israel"
