The switch from decades of calling the war the "Arab-Israeli Conflict"
to the Israel-Palestinian war or 'IP' for short, has removed all the other bad actors from the conversation. Iran, Syria, Lebanon and all the rest have been let off the hook. Even though they use the Palestinians as proxies, and wage the same war as always. Really all these calls to disarm the Israelis ignore the broader reality and that's the point, to weaken their footing.
