According to reports, Israeli airstrikes targeted military sites deep inside Lebanon and Syria, the very same units that have been involved for some time in the fight against the terrorist groups of ISIL and Al-Qaeda.
 
In other words, Israel is targeting the forces in the Middle East that are truly opposing the terrorist groups. This makes the Zionists and their masters complicit in crimes against humanity by the terrorist goons in places like Syria, Iraq and Yemen.
 
As mentioned earlier, this is hardly surprising. While Israel sees the entirety of Palestine as its geographic domain, and the whole Middle East region as its political and security domains, the Muslim world is merrily stuck in sectarian violence and discord. Sectarianism is in fact Tel Aviv’s bread and butter. Little wonder they are now helping the Saudis bomb Yemen’s civilian infrastructure. 
 
While the world is focused on Oslo and the defeatist culture of peace talks, Israel is busy stealing Palestinian lands and bombarding the Muslim world. The Muslim world cannot break free from reducing Palestine and the Palestinian people and millions of Palestinian refugees to occupied areas if they cannot break free from sectarianism and discord first.
 
The illegal war on Yemen is a living example why the Muslim world has no unifying vision outside the confines of sectarianism and why they are still trapped in their disempowering language of Sunnism, Shiism and Wahhabism.
 
There is much history behind this but above all Muslims have themselves to blame. Those who gave the green light to the United States and its allies to invade Iraq and Afghanistan cannot expect to live in peace while their neighbors are engulfed in violence and war. Those who stay silent while Israel attacks Syria and Lebanon cannot expect to see peace in the Middle East either – let alone a cap on Zionist aggression.   
 
The process of fragmenting Palestine AND the region is as old as the conflicts, and has been dictated largely by Israel and its Western masters. Worse yet, unknowing that, the regional states are contributing to the very process that is meant to divide the Muslim world and marginalize their communities along the sectarian lines.
 
So willingly or unwillingly, the regional states are trapped in Israeli-Western definitions, some united at times by their love for America and Israel, others by their loathing of Israel and its occupation, but all in agreement that Israel and the United States dictate their actions and reactions.
 
As it stands, this will continue to be the case unless the Muslim world starts reconsidering its policies and relations. A good place to start from would be Yemen where Saudi Arabia and its allies have ganged up against an impoverished nation under bloodcurdling pretexts and nothing else.
 
Unless the regional states come to their senses and resolve the unnecessary conflict in Yemen through dialogue, it would be very difficult if not impossible to stop Israel and its criminal activities in the region, let alone resolve the Palestinian conflict or expose Israeli aggressions against neighbors.
