I am not talking about Israel at all. Your basic Arabian culture has been pumped with hate and trimmed for any sign of moderation / peace for a long time. European Powers played this game to get the clans riled up against Ottomans.
Adding on top of this pile of hate, English and French Diplomats managed to create an extremely divided region at the end of WW1. Just search for "Churchill's Burp" Millions have died on those damn borders. And guess what? Only 1 of those regimes/families west supported is still in power.
Soviets and Allies used the same methods to discredit each other. Anyone who had moderate views were seen as security risks and shut down.
Meanwhile the world economy gave tremendous power to the regional leaders.
They are raking the cash from nothing. Do you believe those leaders would do anything to enrich their country except making 24 tee golf courses on deserts?
So you have a lot of poor, semi literate, supersititious and misguided people who can only think at clan level. They are told that others are evil and must be killed.
What I am trying to point out with this explanation is the fact that it doesn't matter what Israel does or does not.
Anyway on topic: Ahmedinijad is probably the worst thing that has happened to "western" countries in the last 50 years. The man is actually a very canny politician and knows how to talk unlike rest of the leaders of region. If / when they let him talk he can use the poor position Israel is in to rip them apart.
I guess thats why US is trying so hard to blacken his name in public and Eu diplomats try to block him at every step. If he gets to speak freely then it would be really bad for a lot of different groups.
