(69,612 posts)42. Every other nation in the middle east is also an ethnostate.
Why is Israel singled out?
Saudi Arabia is an "ethnostate" and also a brutal dictatorship ruled by a monarchy. We now know for sure that Saudi Arabia planned and executed the attacks on 9/11 to get the U.S. to attack their rival, Iraq.
Saudi Arabia's wealth depends on selling oil, so they have a strong incentive to use their billions to get Republicans elected in the U.S., who then tear down any efforts to develop alternative fuels. Look at the glee with which Musk and Trump destroyed the green revolution.
Why is Israel singled out? Think about it.
