Many Arab states prefer an unresolved Palestinian issue. They do not want to give up their icon of the fight against Western capitalism The lack of solidarity among Arab states towards the Palestinians is based on fear of Hamas. Arab monarchs, Islamists, Israeli hardliners and Western leftists also use the Middle East conflict for their propaganda.
By Hamed Abdel-Samad, a man I respect much. He was once one of those hateful anti-Western radical "Islamists" himself. Now he is mercilessly brandmarking Islam as what it it is, says ther eis no difference between true Islam and Islamism and that that lie is just a selfdeception of Western "intellectuals", and calls Islam openly fascist. For that Western "progressives" wish him to hell, while there are fatwas against him and he lives under 24/7 protection.
