Syria, Iraq, Lebanon are failed Muslim states & the other Muslim "States" are controlled by tyrants. When one dictatorship falls in a Muslim State expect that a new bevy of beasts will fill the void! Those that believe Syria will morph into a democracy are delusional. America's outstanding leadership over the past four years has been an impediment, (Think only of Biden - Blinken-Sullivan Middle East Policies or lack there of)! So hope for the best & expect the worst.

Tribes with many years of history, conflicts and culture we cannot understand.

The majority of Israelis are not “white” Ashkenazi but are Jewish people of color. These are Jews forced to leave Muslim lands where they had lived for centuries. I think we understand the Muslim culture!
