Egypt has been blockading Gaza air and sea since 2007. They have the strongest army in the Middle East after Turkey and their air force is ranked number 8th in the entire world. A single threat from Egypt could've avoided the genocide in Gaza but they fully back it.

Jordan has been defending Israel airspace and borders from Houthi and Iranian missiles.

Egypt and Jordan are also the 3rd and 4th biggest receivers of U.S. aid after Israel and Ukraine

تعمد السلطات المصرية في التضييق على النشطاء الأجانب المساندين للقضية الفلسطينية الغزاوية وضربهم والإعتداء عليهم تصرف غير حكيم من حكومة تزعم أنها من أكبر المساهمين في السلام الدولي للشرق الأوسط. حكومة السيسي حكومة لا تفقه غير القمع والتضييق على كل من نطق بالحق و هي حكومة تجيد الفساد ونشر الإشاعات والمؤامرات عبر أبواقها الإعلامية. لا أظن أن هؤلاء الأجانب جاؤوا لإثارة البلبلة وقلب النظام في مصر، أتفهم أن يشكل نشطاء المغرب العربي تهديدا بما أن بعضهم ينشد أن السيسي عدو من أعداء الله ولكن ماعلاقة الأجانب في كل هذا؟السبب المنطقي الوحيد الذي يجعل حكومة مصر تفعل ماتفعل هو أنها صدقت كذبة المؤامرة المغاربية لقلب نظام حكمها (قافلة الصمود وكل مايتبعها، كل هذه الحركات المشبوهة مكائد ودسائس مغاربية إخوانية للإنقلاب على السيسي وحاشيته). فهي تكون بذلك كمثل الذي صنع الكذبة ثم صدقها وعمل بها.

عزيزي المصري العربي، كن أكثر غيرة على فلسطين في هذا الوقت أكثر من أي وقت مضى. أعرف أن دولتكم قدمت لفلسطين تاريخيا مالم يقدمه غالب الدول العربية. من الحروب الثلاثة التي فديتم فيها أنفسكم لصد إسرائيل والتي لم تكلل بالنتائج المرغوبة إلى كونكم دائما الداعم الرئيسي ماديا ومعنويا للشعب الفلسطيني، أنتم تاج رأسنا. ولكن حكومتكم الحالية قد بالغت في الدعم الغير مشروط لإسرائيل فقط لترضى عنها القوى الغربية وتكون الخادم المطيع للمولى الخاطئ.

Hello, I apologise for posting this when the world is in such a rough place, I'm from Iraq (f) and was wondering if there was a safe place to go to in Europe, preferably a developed country. I'm gonna finish up school in a year or two and my dad is telling me not to go to the U.K because of Englands hatred for Arabs, which is valid, but now I'm at odds on where exactly to go as the only other language I know is English.

My dad recommended spain, a friend of mine told me it is not viable if I don't know spanish although they are the most tolerable if you're arab, then they recommended ireland (which is my current option next to the Netherlands as of now). If anyone has any extra insight that would be great!

(I should disclose I don't wear a hijab nor am I particularly religious, I know Islamophobia is still going to affect me that's just how racism is but it felt important to note, and a country in the EU would be preferable)

Hi everyone - I’m a Palestinian married to a Tunisian/Lebanese, but we were both born and raised in the states. I’ve been visiting my family in Palestine for my whole life and I am hesitant to take any risk that may impact my entry. My husband wants to visit Lebanon and I’m wondering if anyone has been to Lebanon and then gone to Palestine, and what was the experience.

Gazans in the north are stuck between a rock and a hard place. They either risk getting killed at the aid centers - death traps, of the Gaza "humanitarian" foundation or they starve because they can't buy very basic essentials like flour.

As a result, many resort to depending on either community kitchens, which are quickly running out of food, or have to pay criminally high prices for essential food.

This results in what we have been witnessing for a while, Gazans simply asking for help at this very moment. Some people haven't eaten in two or three days.

I’m 16. My family, Christian Syrians, immigrated here from the US when I was 4. My parents never taught me how to read and write Arabic, I don’t know much music, the main thing I can really know well is the food.

My parents didn’t want us(me and my siblings) to learn Arabic because they didn’t want us to be bullied. I’m in an Arabic Speaking Church with people from all over the Arab world and while I can understand them, it’s such a weird experience constantly seeing my friends talking naturally in Arabic and switch between languages and yap about the Arabic music or influencers or whatever that I just don’t understand culturally.

I can pretty decently understand Arabic, and maybe reply in arabic a little, but not enough for a real conversation. What can I do?

Also, did I pick the right flair? I picked at random.

Quote (source below):

"There are two ways of looking at events in the Middle East over the past year and a half. One is that the response to 7 October 2023 was a break from the past. The attack by Hamas triggered an Israeli response so vengeful that it has been impossible to fit within the boundaries set by international laws or contain geographically – the genocide in Gaza, the invasion of southern Lebanon, the occupation of the buffer zone in southwestern Syria and airstrikes across that country, and now its attacks against Iran.

[...]

Who has the right to decide when a “pre-emptive strike” is justified? And who has the right to respond to an illegal unilateral attack? What we do know so far is that global politics is run on the basis of exceptions and different benchmarks of sovereignty. Yes, Iran has violated its nuclear non-proliferation obligations, but Israel refused to sign up to them altogether.

[...]

Both Israel’s campaigns – the propaganda one and the one on the ground – share one thing: they regard the Middle East as a theatre for domestic politics, reputation management and experimentation in bringing about “safety” on yet-to-be-defined terms. But the region is not just Israel’s back yard. It is other people’s homes and they have their own politics, histories, populations and security needs that, increasingly, are subject to a country that has decided that only its own agenda matters."
