Gen. Jack Keane: This is VERY revealing

Peloni: Revealing indeed.  Pay particular attention to Gen. Jack Keane’s insightful description of the Saudi’s unwillingness to risk paying a price for victory in the region while having reaped the benefits of both the US and Israel taking significant risks in this war.  I made the point before that, while I am not too anxious to see the Saudis becoming more adventurous militarily, they have actually proved themselves to be an obstacle, rather than an asset, in developing not just peace in the region, but also greater stability, and the great curiosity in all of this is that the future of the Saudi state is dependent upon regional stability, or so we were led to believe, just as we were led to believe that they were interested in pursuing peace.  Towards this latter point, it should be reminded that Bin Salman can have his cake and eat it too by acknowledging the historical elephant in the region, that the Hashemites which now controls Jordan should be required to accept that their nation is the Muslim Palestinian state which the world is demanding, that the Hashemites are threatened by this reality and are themselves the obstructing force preventing Salman from gaining the price of peace in the region, ie a pathway for Pal Statehood even as it does not require Israel to part with one hilltop or one one dunam of land.  Our land is our land, and if peace requires denying this reality, it will forever remain an elusive quantity.  Yet, if peace, better described as stability, in the region is desired, only the recognition of the historical, legal, and property rights described in the San Remo Declaration, in accord with the betrayal which took place at the Cairo Conference over a century ago, stands in the way for a better future in the region, that and of course finally and earnestly dealing with the threat from Iran as if it is a lingering menace to all the region.  Til the House of Saud is willing to take actions to support these two bold but necessary steps to secure regional stability, their own future will continue to be held in a grip of fear and intimidation, and the region will continue to be dominated by the interests of the radical Shiite Axis originating in Iran.
