If I thought that were the reality, I'd agree with you.
I have another question. What country in the area does not recognize it's own boundaries, but is expanding into other lands, displacing the rightful occupants without compensation at gunpoint?
Israel, of course. Who is guilty of numerous crimes against humanity for that, and other, practices.
Up until a few years ago I agreed completely with you. And then out of curiousity I read a few histories of the area. It turns out that a very effective Israel lobby in the US effectively censors the news we get. One has to go to European or Asian sources to find out what's happening.
