Recently, this year. What have the Arab/Muslim governments and public done to protest what is happening. I am not advocating for war/violence but is it just business as usual with Israel and USA?
I am not suggesting war. I am asking if there are demonstrations, have the governments and public done anything to protest what is happening. Have they closed embassies or degraded the relationship in any way?
