Personally what I'm seeing in all of this is a decline into an all- out regional conflict- a conflict that we've had a hand in creating with our unquestioning support of Israeli occupations and policies. There are those that would say I am an anti-Semite for saying that, but I'm not. I'm just "anti-WRONG"!!!

Your rhetoric belies your position. Israel is "occupying" the area that the UN designated as Palestine and later acknowledged as being the state of Israel.
I'm sorry that the Arabs in the ME didn't like that fact, but tough shit. The Ottoman Empire was defeated, just as they had defeated the Persians and Byzantines and to the victors went the spoils.
