Poll Shows Arabs Support Israel Over Iran

...In Syria on the other hand there is a systematic campaign which lasts over 6 years for ethnic cleansing and slaughter. Over a million were slaughtered and 12 millions ethnically cleansed. Thats biggest slaughter of Muslims in history. And all that for sake of 1 inbred atheist dictator. And not a single Iranian from so called Islamic republic condemns this slaughter of Muslims. On contrary they actively support it.

WHAT'S GOING ON? Poll Shows Arabs Support Israel Over Iran

Now this is an altogether amazing development: on February 10, Faisal al-Kasim, a British-Syrian television personality based in Qatar who has five million followers on Twitter, asked them which side they would support if war broke out between Israel on one side and Iran and its militias in Syria on the other.

Here are the astonishing results:

Al Jazeera's Faisal al-Kasim, one of the most influential TV personalities in the Arab world, asked his five million followers, in Arabic, who they'd support if war broke out between Israel and Iran and its militias in Syria.

56% said Israel.

The times, they are a-changin'...

10:16 AM - Feb 25, 2018​

Al-Kasim reportedly said in 2001 that he is Druze; his show, “The Opposite Direction,” which airs on Al-Jazeera, is considered highly controversial, as it has featured guests who are violently opposed to each other’s positions.

The seeming shift in the Arab World toward Israel owes less to any love for Israel than the fear of Iran and its surrogates; as Evelyn Gordon wrote in Commentary, “As one Syrian wrote, ‘no Syrian in his right mind' would support Israel in most situations, 'but you will find millions of Syrians queuing up with the blue devils’ — his charming term for Israel — ‘against the fascist sectarian regime that has surpassed all the monsters on earth in killing Syrians.’”

Gordon added, “Today, the Arab world still has the numbers and the oil, but it’s siding with Israel against Iran. So for any realist who holds that America should align itself with Arab concerns because numbers and oil are crucial considerations, the top priority now shouldn’t be another fruitless Israeli-Palestinian peace process, but reining in Iran’s malignant behavior. To its credit, that is something the Trump Administration is trying to do. …”

These are propaganda polls.

Arabic is an official language in Israel. Arabic is not an official language in Iran. Expected.

These are propaganda polls.

Faisal's fanbase is biased but it certainly isn't propaganda. There are many Arabs that don't like Iran. Although I don't get the point of this question. No war will break out and suggesting an alternative should be to look up to Israel to bring about a change in Syria shows that certain people out there want Arabs to stick their heads into the sand and want Israel to be seen as a potential acquaintance. Not everyone is politically informed so they will vote not understanding the implications.

I personally see Syria as a complicated conflict. The regime is nothing to look up to and won't ever get my support. That being said among the common people in Syria they used to be pretty nationalistic not too long ago and Syria used to be a hub for music around the Arab world. So some people support the regime due to attachment to that past and don't see Syria becoming that way again if the regime falls. Then you have external involvement which I believe really has ruined the chance for political settlement. I don't think the common people in Syria appreciate the Iranian led militias or the Salafi extremists.

Syrians need assurances to agree to move on the from the regime and there are major trust issues right now. The external influence has destroyed chance of reform and everyone just want to settle for calm right now. Anyway leaders in the region should think of the long term and know that God will judge them and surprise them. The common people should take a step back and understand what they are getting themselves involved in as well.

All those who said they would side with the Neo-Nazi state of Israel need a good sucker punch to the gut.

...Although I don't get the point of this question -

I was wondering the same thing, as the context the question was asked in isn't quite clear: was it a bolt from the blue or was it related to an article, tweet, or TV program al-Kasim authored?

They are examining the people, the reason why gcc looking for a diplomatic tie with israel is against iran.

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Just a "GAME" its a game for analyst or planners but it is real life whose life get affected

 

[Hamilcar]

Faisal's and Aljazeera Arabic fanbase are well known.
a lot of fanatic fu**tards are among them.
Heck, they even voted favourably to ISIS once in a poll about it, so it's not really a surprise.
popular support however in Egypt, the Maghreb countries and Irak and Syria is with Iran.

Iranian Mullahs are fooling the Iranians by getting involved in Arab affairs. The sad fact is, Arabs are petty and still very tribal in their mindset. They will put an Arab before anyone else. Iranians should concentrate more on investing the money they give to Bashar Al Assad/Hezbollah on their own people.

Ey Shah-e Iran, Bargard Be Iran

War against iran will come sooner or later, only GCC are ashamed against the other arab world. So before the act they are analyzing good, calculate the blowback from the arab world.

You couldnt be more wrong
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Iran
The current Language Policy of Iran is addressed on chapter two of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran (Articles 15 & 16). It asserts that the Persian language is the Lingua Franca of the Iranian nation and as such, bound to be used through all official government communications and schooling system. In addition, the constitution also recognizes the Arabic language as the language of Islam, giving it a formal status as the language of religion, and regulates its spreading within the Iranian national curriculum.

They don't fool Iranian ... They just make too many enemies and they just decide to let our nuclear weapon program to go to force us to not say anything because there are several external threats we can't really do much or we lose more things ....
( of curse with nuclear weapons most our external threat - direct and total invasion to our country would become highly unlikely )
most of my countrymen can't understand my reasoning about having nukes ... with nukes we could reduce our external threats ( at least in term of total invasion ) and then just leave our Arabs neighbors - which they don't like us as much as we don't like them - alone and construct our country ....

and Shahhanshai is dead in Iran ....
