Absolutely disgusting to watch Westerners swallow Assad's lies about being "pro-Palestinian" while he massacred actual Palestinian refugees in Syria who opposed his rule

Assad Sr. doesn't get enough recognition as a mass murdering tyrant like some of his contemporaries.

Arabs as a rule, get how a country that's existed for 200 years and another that's existed for 70 can dictate political realities to countries that have stood for 10,000 years, but it still rankles.

Don't bury the lede: "And it was very nice of two of Trump's pals, Netanyahu and Abu Dhabi's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed (aka "MBZ"), who leads the UAE, to give Trump a photo op and a political reacharound during an election year."

Actually, this is just continuing the same US policy of ME duplicity of mealy-mouthed support for "Palestine" and the two-state process, while caving into every whim, wish and demand of Israel for more weapons, more money, and more diplomatic support to advance colonization and annexation. As well as fronting for Israeli's war against Iran. Nothing new here.
