Palestinians: The Arabs Betrayed Us - Again

I would not say Islam but fundamentalism and sectarianism has indeed sadly.

"The only problem with Islamic fundamentalism are the fundamentals of Islam.” ”The principal tenet of Jainism is non-harming. Observant Jains will literally not harm a fly. Fundamentalist Jainism and fundamentalist Islam do not have the same consequences, neither logically nor behaviorally.

True.

Pretty much. Iraq especially was known as the jewel of the Arab world. It had the best hospitals, universities, very high level of culture, and the best women rights in the region in fact North Africans, Levantines, Gulfers used to come to Iraq and to study or to be treated. Now that has been gone sadly. Syria was always poor but it has always been the the seat of intellectuals. Persia I don't know much about though, but it was like Syria a seat of intellectual enterprise.

i know some iraqi jews who describe the wealth of iraq and where they lived describing it as a great place.. and most of the iraqi jews i know are very educated and intellectual.

At first the palestinians were used as pawns for a reason for the arabs to attack Israel, now that the arabs have there own problems and are starting to see that Israel is here to stay, they dont care as much

The governments might not care, but the people of the Arab street do care. Heck it even crosses all sectarian tensions. From Alwaites to Shias to Sunnis, to Ibadhis all of them agree your conduct is often wrong and inhumane. The heart of the people is with the Palestinians, and the governments are not representatives.
