Typical realpolitik. Muslims need to wake up and stop being pawns. These alliances rarely benefit the ummah in the long run.

Shared worries about Israel definitely play a role. But let's not pretend there isn't a puppet master somewhere pulling strings.

Reminds me of the saying: 'The scorpion and the frog.' Both know the nature of the other, but the current waters are too dangerous to cross alone.

Israel is the common denominator in so many conflicts. When two rivals both feel threatened by the same power, an alliance makes bitter sense.

Follow the money, always. These alliances aren't about friendship, they're about survival-economic or military. Israel's shadow looms large.
