Is the Islamic State the most successful example of nation building in the Middle East since Israel became a state in 1948?
"Chris Hedges argues it is:
" Its quest for an ethnically pure Sunni state mirrors the quest for a Jewish state eventually carved out of Palestine in 1948.
"Its tactics are much like those of the Jewish guerrillas who used violence, terrorism, foreign fighters, clandestine arms shipments and foreign money, along with horrific ethnic cleansing and the massacre of hundreds of Arab civilians, to create Israel.
"Antagonistic ISIS and Israeli states, infected by religious fundamentalism, would be irreconcilable neighbors.
"This is a recipe for apocalyptic warfare.
"We provided the ingredients."
Both states are good for business if your profits stem from the mass murder and displacement of millions of innocent lives.
