I just really don't think they are. Saudi Arabia and Turkey have been publicly  weary of israel for decades, but behind closed doors neither has done anything substantial . any big move against western powers would've been made decades ago. 

Gulf countries and the west always had a somewhat mutual relationship that benefited both sides. But now that its one sided to only benefit the west, and gulf countries enemies are getting stronger, they are thinking of plan B. Plan B doesnt mean being anti western powers, it just means they cant fully rely on western powers. Uniting as Arabs is one of the plans, which is why u see the UAE rethinking their relationship with the rest of the Arab world.

As for Israel, nobody likes them, but we also understand they are part of western powers so we cant do anything about them.

I did not say any side is good, im just explaining the situation to you. But the fact that u would compliment Baathis in Syria says it all.

Saying one is better than the other is fine, but the language you used shows you respect them. Which makes me think you are too far gone to even continue this conversation.
