I understand your point and agree with the demographics☝️.

But I insist that on Palestine, there's a wide gulf between Arabs and their leaders especially in the rich, autocratic gulf countries.
You can read more here 👇

https://www.vox.com/world-politics/2023/10/14/23914904/arab-world-israel-palestine-conflict-middle-east

The citizens of these gulf countries are:
Muslims like the Palestinians,
Arabs like the Palestinians,
Neighbors to the Palestinians.

It's just natural for them to support their brothers, moreso as this is about an incredible amount of injustice done to these people.

If wealthy European countries like Spain and Belgium and hundreds of thousands in the United States are taking a decisive stand in support of Palestine in spite of cultural, religious/ideological differences it's only reasonable to expect a more organic support among the Arabs regardless of wealth.

I disagree that the gulf leaders are doing what is best for their citizens by not showing support for Palestine.
They're doing THE BEST FOR THEIR THRONE instead.
Their small size and population is not a reason to not feel indignation and speak out against injustice. They're just selfish cowards who lack basic human decency.
MALTA and LUXEMBOURG are some of the smallest countries in Europe and the world with a population of just a little over 500k and 600k respectively. They were loud and clear in their support for Ukraine from the beginning to this moment.



Nicely put. Nobody is saying they need to act like Iran or Yemen. If Germany can commit what's basically suicide for Ukraine, there's no reason why they can't use economic leverages to sanction Israel or at least discourage the excessive support that it is getting from the West. Saudi Arabia did something like that in the 1970s and heaven did not fall.

Look at how UAE is even helping Israeli-bound ships to evade Houthis while Europe is going as far as banning some aspects of Russian culture and bullying innocent Russian investors. They are doing what is best for their pockets and nothing else.

The Gulf countries are too rich and too few in population to allow hot headedness or militarism dictate their foreign policy

Only 6m of Saudi 30m population are Saudis, the rest are immigrants

Only 300k of Qatar 3m population are Qatari, the rest are immigrants

Only 1m of UAE 10m population are Emirati, the rest are immigrants

Only 1.4m of Kuwait 4.5m population are Kuwaiti, the rest are immigrants

Only half of Bahrain 1.5m population are Bahraini, the rest are immigrants

50% of Oman are immigrants

Of the native populations of these countries, half are millionaires and the other half are very comfortable and all will run at the sound of gunshot. The Indians and other immigrants will be the first to run

So what business do these Gulf countries have in doing hothead like Iran that have the population and the HUNGER to fight. Their demographics are not war demographics simple.

Their Kings know what is best for them and are towing the correct route of diplomacy, trade and soft life because none of them are built for war. That's why they have security pacts with USA and will call USA the minute Kuwait for example is invaded by Saddam.
Went through that airport and 80% of the staff were immigrants.
Thats the most I’ve seen blacks outside of Africa grin
