    So to you Arab countries are places where the government and the people are the same, even though you recognize other countries aren’t like that? The vast majority of Muslims are pro Palestine and would be offended by you insinuating that they support Israel just because their shitty governments do.

      Also, it’s funny to even imply that most of those governments are completely sovereign entities who are there due to any kind of organic process, rather than deformed wrecks resulting from massive outside pressure (almost all by the US empire and its allies).

      Of course I’m not assuming anyone supports Israel or that the people and government are the same
      This rant was purely against governments, sorry if I worded it wrong

        The Saudi, UAE and (to a lesser extent) Egyptian (edit: governments) are all for whatever Israel does. It’s more complicated in other countries because the people are against it but the government isn’t, so you have to be against Israel just enough to please the people but not too much that you displease the government ❤️

        What did you mean by the bolded section if not “it’s not complicated in Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Egypt because the people and the government support it”? I don’t mean to be confrontational here, but I don’t see how else that sentence can be interpreted.

        Very bad wording, it makes it seem like you’re accusing the Saudi, uea, and Egyptian people of doing so
