What I don't understand, is how does Israel secure the oil of the ME? Why do we see it as a strategic pawn in such a claim?
Back on topic, the US is not and has never been a fair broker in terms of settling disputes between the Arabs and the Israelis. If it would even attempt, many politicians in the US that would have pushed for an honest approach will be discredited with some form of scandal or another. My 2 cents.
Got to get my tinfoil hat tuned...
