what i will say about the idea of a power imbalance in the middle east, when people on the left specifically like to say that Jews and Israel have the scales tipped in their favor because of support from the USA and other western countries...i would say that the Palestinians should have the same support from their supposed Arab friends, so why isn't there the same support from huge rich muslim countries like Saudi, and UAE, or even Indonesia, why do the other arab/muslim countries leave Palestine high and dry?

There must be a reason. instead they just use it as an issue to bash the USA, but they don't actually provide any actual support to the Palestinian people. why??
