RapidcreekIsrael, U.S. believe Iran is about to retaliate for Israeli bombing of Syria consulate, officials say
AFaithfulNihilistHow dare they fight back. That’s such an antagonistic thing to do. Don’t they know they’re not allowed to defend themselves.
It reminds me of my own father knocking down the bathroom door and then saying, “Put your hands down. I consider that threatening.”
They should do nothing. Iran can’t invade Israel. Israel can’t invade Iraq.
If Iran attacks civilians, they risk setting off a larger war in the area. Iran isn’t popular with the Arabs.
I suspect they’ll do a small limited attack against something Israeli and call victory. They know if it went to war, they’ll lose.
Iran isn't popular with Arabs, but they're much more popular than Israel.
apfelwoiSchoppenThe Arabs? What does that mean? That’s like saying all South Americans think collectively and cohesively.
Limitless_screamingAll the people sharing the same past with those countries have somewhat similar views of them because of their past interactions with each other.
As an Egyptian, you're overthinking it. Almost all Arabs have a very similar image of Israel because we've seen firsthand (or secondhand from Palestinians) how ridiculously horrible Israel is.
Fair, and much respect. There is an aspect of centrist-right to far-right western culture that consolidates all Arabs into one group with intent to demonize. It is fairly common.
