    The Arab nations are a joke, pandering to whoever sells them weapons they don’t know how to use (looking at you Gulf states). I’m writing this as a Lebanese who’s sick of this non stop genocide. Strongly worded letters don’t work, and now there’s insanity in America, I can’t see anything changes unless Europe somehow decide to sanction Israel on their own and hope other countries follow suit.

      Hrm yes, but have you considered: Money??? /s

      Arab nations are absolutely depraved. I question myself because of how other arabs somehow like our leaders (who are just submissive puppets to other rich countries) but the gulf states are by far the worst. Absolute monarchies with the “Fuck you, i got mine” completely selling out their own people for money; they’re complete shitholes.

      But yeah: hopes and prayers to gaza, they’ll use the money they made profiting off the genocide to wipe their crocodile tears.

      I really, really hope something changes for the better in the future.
