the reason the UAE and other Arab countries support Israel over Palestine is pretty straightforward and obvious from a Marxist perspective: Capital is transnational. it has no home, only hosts. America is the largest host but by no means the only one, and when the American empire crumbles capital will just flee somewhere else and set up shop there. Israel is an outpost of capital in the Middle East, and so are KSA and the UAE and the ruling family of Jordan. They’re all different heads of the same hydra.

I'd basically agree with this, with the caveat that it's not just Israel, but the whole US imperial apparatus that they depend on to keep their people down, so they have a vested interest in Israel remaining in place as the local enforcer of the empire.

At risk of a horrific tangent, I had two Syrian classmates back in college who were very much of your opinion, but in our arguments I was never able to quite grasp, how a governing party that is majority Sunni, in a country with a predominantly Sunni capitalist class, with an army that is majority Sunni, was supposed to be horrifically oppressing, even exterminating Sunnis. It all sounded, at the time, bizarrely similar to the very worst sorts of Americans, insisting that the Democratic party, by holding office and being slightly blacker than their preferred party, was engaged in white genocide.

Bad news for residents of Gaza who were advised by the Land of Genocide Committers to head for the Gaza-Egypt border crossing - The Land of Genocide Committers have now amended their earlier remarks to say that the Gaza-Egypt border crossing is closed.

Gaza-Egypt crossing now closed: Army spokesperson
14m ago (05:53 GMT)

Amending earlier remarks, a Land of Genocide Committers military spokesperson now says the Gaza-Egypt border crossing is closed.

Following earlier remarks by Lieutenant-Colonel Richard Hecht, his office issued a statement: “Clarification: The Rafah crossing was open yesterday, but now it is closed.”

On Monday evening, Egyptian security sources and a witness said operations at Rafah had been disrupted by what they described as a strike on the Gaza side.

Yeah, I get the impression that Hezbollah was also taken by surprise by the sudden attack. They're their own organisation, with their own interests and they're not just going to start fighting Israel 'cos Hamas has pulled the trigger: they'll do it at a time of their own choosing.

Hamas failing to or being unable to co-ordinate with other regional groups looks like the biggest mistake they've made in this plan.

I'm pretty sure they might have considered it not worth the effort to expose the plan to more potential leaks than they already did, given how much it relied on surprise and how successful it was because of that.
