@Bounty4ul I highly doubt any of these nations are afraid of Israel. Israel's military capabilities (contrary to popular belief) aren't really enough to scare many nations.
What these nations are afraid of is an intervention by America. They saw what happened to Saddam, they saw what happened to Libya and they saw what almost happened to Assad.
If these nations were more stable, had better functioning military forces, if their leaders had popular support from the people, then yes they could be reacting to this in a way you want them to react.
And before we put these nations down, lets also remember that many of them are brand new states. These nations haven't had independence for very long and they're just learning the art of governance and statecraft.
Lets take Saudi Arabia for instance. Their ruling elite were goat herders just a few generations ago. You can't expect them to run a foreign policy like the Turks or the Persians for example who've had experience and state institutions running continuously for nearly 1000 years they can rely on.
The Arab people were put into a really dark place after WW1. It will take them time to climb out of it and they are accelerating their climb. They will get to a point where they can act independently, like I said earlier they just need time.
Like you I would also like to see neighboring states take a more active role in defending the dignity of the Palestinians. But we also have to be realistic in what these nations can and cannot accomplish right now.
Also I see a lot of people in the Muslim community hoping for a military intervention for this issue. Me personally, I don't think a military intervention is in the cards. Lets assume for a second America left the region and the Arab states flooded into Israel and defeated the IDF. Have you ever heard of the "Sampson option" the Israelies keep talking about? It is a doctrine of theirs that if their state falls by military force, they will take everyone with them using nukes. Yes it sounds crazy but do you believe those extremist zionists won't do this?
So again there is no military solution here. The apartheid state must be dismantled just like the apartheid regime in South Africa was dismantled. Through political pressure, economic pressure and worldwide awareness. That train has already left the tracks, it is only a matter of time, they cannot keep the Palestinians stuffed into concentration camps forever.
Sorry for the long post, I hope you took the time to read it. Pray for Palestine.
