Israel Isn't at the Center of the Middle East's Problems
(Jerusalem Post) Joshua S. Block - U.S. UN Ambassador Nikki Haley told the recent AIPAC Policy Conference, "There are probably 10 major problems facing the Middle East and Israel doesn't have anything to do with any of them." Yet every month the UN Security Council holds "an Israel-bashing session." Haley suggested the UN focus on the real pathologies of the Middle East, such as "Iran or Syria or Hizbullah, Hamas, ISIS, the famine in Yemen." If we look objectively at the reality on the ground, the roads that connect many of the Middle East's trouble spots lead to Tehran. Ambassador Haley is right. Peace only has a fighting chance when "all sides will be dealing with realities, not fantasies." The writer is CEO and president of The Israel Project.
