Israel's main policy is to make sure no Muslim Arab neighbor is strong enough around it as it could be a threat, so any minority can be of use here. For example, they aided Kurds fighting Iraq but didn't aid the ones in Turkey or Iran in the 1960s as they were allies at the time. The minorities...

Majus comes from the name used for priests in Zoroastrianism, and became a term to refer to the religion's followers as a whole. Saddam used it against the Iranian Shia during his war with Iran. He used a lot of Islamic terminology to gain legitimacy by painting the other side as non-muslim...

The most famous person for modern Palestinians is Saladin, a Kurd. A lot of people living in southern Palestine in Hebron and Gaza are of Kurdish origins as well, its not some ethnic hatred lol. PKK and PLO fought together against Israel and used to support each other in Lebanon. Its just...

I saw exactly one video of some youth singing for Syria, nobody is even talking about Kurds or mentioning them. They sang when Assad fell, now they sing when Syria isn't getting balkanized by the SDF. Also you shouldn't repeat terminology used by war criminals like Yoav Gallant. Makes people...

What are you hallucinating about Gaza this time? This conflict with Damascus was coming if the SDF didn't integrate with the rest of Syria, which they signed a deal for in last March. Now they were exposed and capitulated while being sold out for the 10th time in the past century by their "allies".

Israeli assessment recently has been that the protests aren't gonna topple the regime, and they did say Israel wasn't fully prepared to defend against possible Iranian retaliation, especially if the USA will be busy defending its own assets in the region. Its ironic because before the protests...

This will be you before January ends, I'm willing to bet on it :myman: Ironically, he's like 86 so if they wait a few years he'll die on his own. Then Iran will have a succession crisis to choose the new cleric especially since the most likely candidate Raisi died. I wonder if we could get...

Seems like the attack yesterday was called off because Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain all refused to allow the USA to use their airspace to launch an attack and lobbied against it. Reports say that Trump still wants to strike, which explains why they're sending a carrier...

Still doubt it, considering Israel has opened missile shelters all over, multiple countries raised their military readiness. And pretty much every country in the world told its citizens to gtfo of Iran asap. I doubt things deescalate from here.

I doubt it. I remember right before the war in June there were reports Trump and Netanyahu had a rift and fighting and some bs like that. The next day Israel was bombing Iran with American support lol. The same day Iran and the USA were gonna hold some negotiations too. This is probably just...

Considering all the military assets being shuffled + some Israeli officials claiming this is the "final battle", seems like the intention is regime change. So he's probably going to try to go for decapitation strikes first to take out the leadership, followed by bombing missile/nuclear...

Its actually insane how much Oda has nailed it in that Loki is superior to Xebec, Harald, Roger&his crew (Including Oden/Ray/Gaban). Oda made the old gen equals then put Loki head and shoulders above them.

Seems like the US attack on Iran will begin soon. Lets see whether this will fuck up the region/the world or not.

MENA is a more religious region than most others. Just the way it is.

A few things to note: -In Shia theology, martyrdom is a core theme and mobilizer. Its a long thing that you can read about, but I'd say they focus more on martyrdom narratives than other muslim sects. -The Ayatollah is the core of the whole axis of resistance and his regime, if he gets killed...
