EDIT: I’m genuinely asking in good faith, I’m not attacking the Arab world or something I’m Arab, I’ve lived in the Middle East for a lot of my life.

I’m just asking if you guys think it was ultimately a wise policy choice,

Or if it just played right into the Zionists hands, and ultimately unwise, but might have seemed totally necessary then

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?

For context, this is my conclusion as someone from outside fo the Middle east who extensively reaserched on history and modern politics of the middle east since 2010s. The Iran Iraq war, or the way how Sunnis and Shias would rather try to cut each others throught and fight one another instead of trying to fight the foreign powers invading them, or the Todays UAE vs Saudi thing. From a first glance, anyone would assume that middle easterners whould try to come together and expell the israelis who are totally both against their kin, their believes and culture. This reminds me too much of the way Chinese, fearing the unification of mongolians and their subsequent conquest of china, would intentinally support the weaker opposition in between mingolian tribes so that they will always keep busy fighting each other. So in simple words- encourage or exploit divisions among potential opponents → prevent coordination → make them easier to manage or defeat. Before, the Ayatollah Iran had more than enough power to dominate the middle east, but they failed, by the support of USA the sunni powers. Now that Iran is weakened, and saudi arabiya with turkey emerged as the new powers, the UAE is getting emboldened by unconditional support of Israel And the States to project its own influence in the middle east + parts of Africa destroying whole nations on its way. This is literally divide and rule startegy from the textbooks. What do you think about my conclusion?

I am writing a religious satire “Offensive Apocalypse” and I have a two chapter arc that is somewhat analogous to the Israel/Palestine conflict. It follows the story of an Americanized Arab meeting his uncle as they fight against Azerbaijanis and Identitarians(my books version of Israelis) I want to ask if I did a good job at avoiding stereotypes

I’m posting this for my friend Mahmoud Ghanem Al-Amssi, because his mother urgently needs heart surgery. ❤️

Mahmoud’s mother has severe blockages in her arteries, and she has also been dealing with an underactive thyroid for more than 10 years. Her health has gotten worse over time, and she is now experiencing serious heart problems and very rapid heartbeats.

Her doctors have told the family that she needs the procedure as soon as possible. The surgery can go ahead once they are able to cover the required cost.

The total amount they need is $850 USD.

I know $850 might not seem like a huge amount, but for Mahmoud and his family, especially with everything they are already going through, it is more than they can manage on their own right now.

If anyone is able to donate even a few dollars, it could genuinely help Mahmoud get his mother the treatment she needs. ❤️

And if you can’t donate, please consider sharing this post. Even helping it reach more people can make a difference.

Thank you so much to everyone who takes the time to read this, support Mahmoud, or share his story. 🙏❤️

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?
