Daniel Mabsout,
There is no doubt that a revolution was due in the Arab World as well as a war for liberating Palestine ; but the world order prevented this revolution from happening in every possible way. The western forces had already infiltrated greatly the Arab society connected and affiliated to the west . All Arabs felt alienated versus the so-called superiority of the western society and the inability to achieve autonomy and independence. As for the leftists and intellectuals they longed for freedom and civil rights they were to enjoy within the frame work of western hegemony. All of them believed in coexisting with Israel and in the recognition of the state of Israel along with the granting to Palestinians some rights . Only some Muslim enlightened forces refused to co exist with Israel and linked the revolution with the abolishment of the state of Israel. These forces succeeded in defeating Israel and rallying the Arab world around the Resistance to Israel . In this framework the western establishment mobilized the intellectuals and other factions of the society that were accessible and subject to western influence in order to provoke a counter revolution that did not seek originally to overthrow Arab rulers but to undermine the real revolution that was taking shape whose priority over anything else was to get rid of the State of Israel as an unvarying condition of independence and social justice.
The major western intention therefore was not to topple Arab rulers even if they were overthrown as a result of all this. That Kaddhafi, Mubarak or Ben’Ali were overthrown does not have a significance in itself , they could have remained in power and avoided such fate had they known the nature of the force they were confronting .Their fall was a mere side effect since the two forces in confrontation were not People’s rights or peoples’ civil liberties versus the system but the world order versus the embracing of Arab masses of the Resistance that defeated Israel which constituted the real revolution and the necessity to abort this revolution and redirect the struggle for a coexistence with Israel that goes along with the promise of granting civil rights.
