Diplomatic protests were expected. I’m referring to “man on the street” silence.

“Diplomatic protests were expected. I’m referring to “man on the street” silence.”

The rulers in those countries usually must condemn Israel. The reason the street is quiet because the leaders..including local imams are not real upset with the situation.

They all really prefer to have an alliance (of some type) with us and a silent understanding with Israel than to be ruled by Persians from Iran or that turtle head Bashir.

And don't doubt that Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey (military) have working “understandings” with Israel.. cause the do. Syria and Iran are the only two left in the region that are outwardly hostile to Israel.

So the street and the palaces/Parliaments are quiet because it is in their best interest to let this slip by for now. No one wants to be “nuked” and do one wants to nuke anyone. Not us, not Isreal.

That eliminates too many options and creates too many long term problems. No one wants that so everyone is relatively quiet and wants it to just go away for now.
