According to Ambassador Adam Ereli "[W]hat we're seeing happen between Israel and Gaza is not a localized conflict, but is much, is part of a much bigger regional war." He goes on define that regional war as "And that war has Iran, Hezbollah and the Muslim Brotherhood on one side and it has the forces of what I would call reason and moderation on the other side – being Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the countries of the Gulf."

I cannot imagine what Saudi Arabia is doing on that list. The wider war in the region is an attempt by The Left and an Insurgent Caliphate to expel the West from the Middle East. Those forces in Saudi Arabia.

The fact that Saudi Arabia sees many of the players in that anti West alignment as against their interest to be the ruler of that effort is not really material. This is not to argue that Eqypt and Jordan are part of the anti-West coalition.

Left out of the Ambassador's list of the forces arrayed against us in the region and the world are Hamas, Taliban, ISIS, and the myriad number of Islamic militias.

The Ambassador's statements I fear is no real basis for forging and anti anti-West alliance.

However much I appreciate the Ambassador's statements I think they are still naive.
