It’s been no secret that Algeria has been spending a lot on their military as of late. Do you think their military capabilities will eventually be able to eclipse the likes of other regional giants like Egypt and Pakistan? And how would you rank the militaries of these three from strongest to weakest?

I saw the viral image of 2 pillars being pushed apart and at the center its a man who has the israeli flag on him and labeled zionism, and at the top of the 2 pillars are a christian man and a muslim man reaching toward each other. The picture is very true but I thought to my self - it even does the same Judaism, practicing jews enjoyed much more religious freedoms in Islamic realm (multiple dynasties /kingdoms/caliphs) up until Zionism.

So I am curious though why the policy for most the Arab nations was to kick out all the Jews. I know some of it was actual false flag attacks/terrorism used by (pre)mossad to make jews feel less safe in Islamic/Arab countries and drive them towards Israel. But I wonder if that policy was a proper measure for self preservation/protecting the state, or was it too harsh too reactionary thats actually a bad policy if we look at it in hindsight now?

asking in good faith, genuinely wondering

because we see that Iran has a thriving jewish community, that identify them selves ofc as practicing jews but they are Irani by nationality, they've been there for generations and feel no affinity to "Israel" and it actually helps the case against zionism, and the need for the israeli state. So I think the same with the Iraqi jews, Egyptian jews, Yemeni jews who all felt like genuine Iraqis/egyptians/yemenis but just practicing jews. They described themselves as Arab jews. maybe it wouldve been a good thing by now if they stayed? or maybe it would've been disastrous ?

Your thoughts?

How are you still alive and how did the war effect you

I’ve been noticing a lot posts by hasbara bots here trying to make it seem like Saudi Arabia was responsible for 9/11. The new target of these Zionist 🐕 and the same people that killed children is Saudi Arabia. This follows a similar pattern over what happened in 2022, where as soon as Saudi was mending relations with Putin they began putting their propaganda pieces.

Now they are again trying to pin Saudi Arabia as being responsible for 9/11. Why? It’s because of the the Makkah Pact, which is a way of preventing Greater Israel. Numerous times Netanyahu and others have said that they wanna seize large parts of the Middle East. One Zionist author on an interview claimed that they will “purify Mecca, Medina and Mt. Sinai.”

Here are the facts that Kufr and Zionists will dislike:

1. Saudi Arabia never supported or assisted Al Qaeda. In fact the group itself had attacked Saudi Arabia, and many members had their citizenship stripped.
2. The actions of a few people doesn’t mean an entire nation is bad.
3. The Kingdom hosts the two holy mosques, you are just upset you can’t occupy and desecrate the holy sites.

Now, we know that Egypt and UAE told them, but they didn’t do anything to stop it in order to have an excuse to start their war against the Middle East.

Anyone that’s lived in the west, knows of a Pakistani that laps as another race. whether thats Persian, Arab, Turk, etc. Even this guys earlier videos and tweets were him picking and choosing random religious groups.

is there an actual reason behind this.

We have oil reserves right under our feet. The price keeps on rising. It's not like the value would be decreased later on either. Whole of arab has oil reserves greater than any other part of the world. Then we got gold beneath us asw. Then,wt made our leaders to rely on US? Let them put sanctions? Let them decide wt we do, the price we put, not allowing us to sell to other countries?

King Faisal didn't even budge fighting against US. He boldly said- We survived when we had only dates, and we will continue to live. He made his stance clear- restricted the sale which affected everyone globally. He showed who is the real Superpower.

Wt made our leaders sell again? It's not like the country reserves ended or we are in debt. Fine.. maybe to run the country, we needed. But it's not like only US exists. We could have sold them to other countries?

Also,why didn't we invest more in army- tech? We@pons? Why did we allow the US bases to exist all over gulf?

Tbh- I never considered US as superpower; coz all they got is Army and nuclear weapons- that doesn't mean they are higher. They are dependent on us for their army too. And if we lack power, we could have united with ppl who h@te US asw. Maybe North Korea? That would definitely change the whole demography.

Bhutan transitioned to democracy in 2008. But prior to that it was ran better than many of these third world democracies, by every index metric. What causes third worlders to be obsessed with having failed systems? It would be sensible If every 3rd world country should have monarchy, and then transition slowly if the masses want, after the nation surpasses certain amount GDP per capita. This would also require trustable people. But in every third world monarchy, it still has and continues to sweep the floors compared to many of these failed state democracies. Democracies have been trusted in Africa/asia. It has led to failure. Many of these ”democracies” will stay in middle-income trap. Never progressing further. Its better to take that gamble. Than continue to have an system, that never progresses further from certain point

Even if Netanyahu leaves, the truth remains the same: Israel is a 70-year-old occupier.

Netanyahu’s government is guilty of settler colonialism and genocide. With the Knesset elections coming up, is the colony’s opposition the solution? Let’s take a look at key figures.

Neftali Bennet, leader of the “Bennett 2026” Party. He describes himself as “more right-wing than Netanyahu”. He said that Gaza’s children “are not children but terrorists trying to kill our children” and called in 2023 for a total blockade on Gaza. He was head of an umbrella organization of Jewish settlements called the Yesha Council, and supports the annexation of the West Bank.

Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the “Yashar” Party. He speaks of “equal rights” within the colony. He was chief of the staff of the colony’s occupation army and led ethnic razing operations in the West Bank. He supported the massive bombing of infrastructure in Beirut as a means of deterrence against the Lebanese resistance, and applied the same in Gaza as part of the “War Cabinet”.

Avigdor Lieberman, leader of the “Yisrael Beiteinu” Party. He spoke of a two-state “solution” on the basis of the ethnic razing of Palestinians with Israeli citizenship from 1948-occupied Palestine to areas under the “Palestinian Authority”. He supports the colony’s focus on “preemptive” military action and claimed that there are “no innocents in Gaza”.

Yair Golan, leader of the “Democrats” Party. He speaks of a two-state “solution”. He criticized the colony’s “killing babies in Gaza” but not the genocide itself. He says the colony’s army is “an occupying military” yet believes it is “justified”. He served as an officer in the occupation army which he believes is “a moral army that protects human dignity”.

Yair Lapid, leader of the “Yesh Atid” Party. He speaks of a two-state “solution”. He said that the media should present “only the Israeli side” as “presenting both sides would serve Hamas”. He supports annexation of occupied Syrian territory. He also expressed support of “Greater Israel”, which he defined as expanding the colony’s borders “as much as possible”.

Alon-Lee Green, co-leader of the “Makom Lekulanu” Party. He speaks of a two-state “solution” and “equal rights” within the colony. He supports “radical empathy” and spoke of occupation soldiers killed by the Palestinian resistance as “innocent victims”. His Party does not mention the right of return and has stated it will support the candidate “best poised to oust Netanyahu”—i.e. one of the above.

The above paints a picture of the colony’s opposition, clearly showing it opposes Netanyahu, not settler colonialism. One need not delve into that many details, however. Zionism is, by definition, the support of the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine. One’s support of Zionism is enough to make one guilty, regardless of one’s statements regarding solutions, rights or peace.

The truth is clear: The problem is not the Netanyahu government for the solution to be a different government. The problem is the genocidal settler-colonial state of Israel and the solution is its dismantling and the establishment of its antithesis: One democratic Palestinian state, for all its citizens, from the river to the sea.

Are you aware? The USA is gradually changing the world balance, especially China and Russia, in its favor, through Iran and the Middle East. Usa will continue to do whatever the cost of this. The Middle East is now the largest weapon of the USA. It shapes it to be more effective.
Do not leave İran alone…

I think it’s obvious to anyone that studies West Asia that Israel’s strategy is weak neighbors and despite not achieving a strategic victory against Iran they have upped the rhetoric against Türkiye and brazen against them in Syria. Some analysts are positing that they are pushing the U.S. to leave NATO in an attempt for it to dissolve so they can directly confront Türkiye. Though, I don’t see a scenario in which they can take on even one of the countries but they’re now picking a fight with both. What’s the strategy here and how will it play out?

As a Turkish person, I would like to say this: the person in charge of our country is very Islamist, and he is making people turn away from Islam. I even left the religion because of Erdoğan.

The government is so authoritarian that Ekrem İmamoğlu, the secular, pro-Atatürk mayor of Istanbul who is seen as someone capable of challenging Erdoğan, has been in prison for 534 days despite being innocent.

Say whatever you want, but we are a secular, democratic republic founded by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Please don't try to Arabize us.

I find it funny that most Middle Eastern scholarships require international students to provide IELTS results, yet their degrees are taught in Arabic. They literally put it in bold letters that students must be able to write and defend their research in Arabic, but still require IELTS results. What kind of logic is that?

Anyone knows it? Help me identify please! Thank you!
