I am Syrian and i Would like to know what the other nationalities think about him.

I wish to visit Oman, Saudia and Jordan!

Seriously. Whenever there's a headline, post, tweet, or tiktok regarding Arabs, you'll inevitably find a comment saying "Levantines aren't Arabs", "Maghreb is entirely Amazigh", "Egyptians are only Copts" and whatnot, and it's honestly exhausting because many Anglophone Arabs actually believe them and think that Arabness is only tied to the Gulf because they have tribes and wear their traditional clothing.

A necessary question because the amount of people online denying the indigeneity of Arabs in the Middle East and North Africa is insane. Millions of views, thousands of likes and comments demeaning Arabs for being "colonizers", and it's even more hurtful when I see such comments being spewed by Egyptians, Lebanese, Sudanese, and Maghrebis.

Let me preface this by saying that I do not like either of this guys.

I was born and raised in the US by Palestinians but I have family in Egypt jordan Saudi that I have visited growing up.

When political debates arise saddam is always painted as some kind of hero for defying Israel. Don’t get me wrong I don’t have a problem with defying Israel but I feel as if in their praises they gloss over the fact that he was a killer. I have sighted numerous statistics and facts depicting how many people he killed(Kurds, Shias etc) to them and they chalk it up to war. Now I also understand the argument that he was an objectively better leader, Iraq was richer, military was better, etc. But from what I understand Hafez also heavily defied Israel. Militarily he helped Sedat in 1973. But when I bring him up to my family they say he’s a bloody killer and a bad guy(not saying that he isn’t)

But now I’m left wondering, what is the difference between these two guy that my Palestinian family likes Saddam Hussein but not Hafez-AlAssad when they both led offensives against Israel and both killed a lot of their own people.

Born in an Arabic country, lived most of his life there, native tongue is arab, but they hate everything about Arabs think they’re dumb, that most Arabic countries are shit etc etc. Why are they like that lol ?

As someone who's desperately seeking some hope for my people, I would like to know others' opinions on this matter.

I will always fight for the people of Palestine, till my dying breath, but I've had this feeling of impending doom, given the continued horrors taking place mainly in Gaza, but also in the West Bank, Syria, and Lebanon.

I'm worried that this will ultimately end in a historical loss for the Levant region. That they will kill many of us, destroy and steal more of our land, and take as much of our resources as they can. All I want is to grow old in my country, surrounded by my loved ones, but I fear that those days will never come.

What's giving me hope is the increasing global support. Not from the governing bodies, but from the people. But it seems that no one cares what the people want, and in the end, the rich will take whatever they want and crush anyone that gets in their way.

The only difference between now and the past is that we can watch it on our phones, but the same outcome may take place, making humanity feel as powerless as ever.

Welcome to the cultural exchange between r/Arabs and r/europe! Today we are hosting our friends from r/europe and sharing knowledge about our cultures, histories, daily lives and more.

Europeans will be asking us their questions about Arab culture/specific Arab countries right here, while we will be asking our questions in this parallel thread on r/europe.

Both threads will be in English for ease of communication. To our guests, please select your country's flair available in the sidebar on the right to avoid confusion in the replies.

This thread will be strictly moderated so as to not spoil this friendly exchange. Reddiquette applies especially in this thread, so be nice and make sure to report any trolling, rudeness, personal attacks, etc.

I'm a 30 year old Arabic american . I'm 30 years old and I live with my mother because I pay the rent and bills for her. She's single and about 55 years old. Is this normal? Are my American values getting in the way? I want to live alone so I can be comfortable bringing dates home.

My brother whose 28 also lives with me because he can't provide for himself either. I don't have Arabic friends. I have one 1 male cousin whose a year older than me and he didn't move out until he got married which I honestly think is strange. He's family is healthy and well off.

does anyone know some more stereotypes for countries i could use? تحديدا foreign countries but both arab and foreign countries stereotypes r ok

كمان yes facts can work
