Nothing. The U.S. has a flatline learning curve about the Middle East. The U.S. can not register a pulse at all in Middle East politics and Islamic culture. It’s like the U.S. is a catatonic vampire salivating for the next barbarous and jingoistic meal.
U.S. Middle East policy runs on Islamophobia and slavish surrender to Zionist propaganda. Israel’s founding is based on the Nakba, the ethnic cleansing of 700,000 Palestinians whose descendants live in the world’s largest open air prison- Gaza. Some 5 million Palestinians are stateless citizens- that means they have no political rights in the lands controlled by Israel. They are permanent political non entities.
And their ancestral lands, olive groves, and villages are subject to continual ethnic cleansing in the name of Israeli national security.
What does the U.S. know about Salafi fundamentalist Islam? Or rather, what does the U.S. publicly acknowledge about Saudi racism and terrorism? Nothing. Despite the fact that 9/11 was perpetrated by mostly Saudi nationals. Despite the fact that Salafi Islam is responsible for almost all terrorism perpetrated in the name of Islam.
What can account for this incredible stupidity?

U.S foreign policy in the Middle east is a continuation of historic domestic U.S. racism, ethnic cleansing and genocide in the interest of empire. It’s that simple.
