Its a screwed up history for sure, but given how screwed up the US is right now I don't think that's an Arab only trait.
I have an Iraqi friend who lived through the war as a kid, Bagdad and Beirut were both called the Paris of the middle east at different times. Beirut has a messed up constitution that tries to cover for plurality of people but doesn't work well. They are also still recovering from the 1982 invasion and the bombing 4 years ago, not that they didn't also have other problems. Same with Iran, I agree with you, great people here who have immigrated and its a pretty rich country with a stupid, repressive government. Iran was a pretty happening democracy until they decided to nationalize their oil, then the UK and US decided to aid a revolution that totally screwed up. Not only is their oil still nationalized but it gave power to a series of fundamentalist, anti western leaders. That's really the big story, 'interventions' and wars never make a place better. Maybe you could argue for the US revolution and the French revolution, but largely revolutions and war are a bad way to change things.
Netanyahu is like a smart rump. He's just as corrupt but a smarter politician, the single biggest reason the genocide is continuing appears to be because if Netanyahu stops it he will be on trial for corruption and booted out of office. That's particularly messed up, but then again, the entire country is going along with it. The US also had a poll that said 54% support mass deportations of immigrants. That seems to be a global reaction to end state capitalism.
We see it here with 200,000 more homeless in Ontario over the last few years. People get angry that the rich are getting richer but then the rich, who control the media and message, tell everyone that its immigrants that are screwing things up, not the fact that people like Musk are so rich they buy trips to space for fun.
We are new close to 1 year of the US/Israeli genocide in Gaza. There is almost nothing left to destroy and all Israel can do is keep dropping bombs and killing people. Or their new pass time, using drones to shoot kids. There is no endgame for Israel, there is no chance they can kill all of Hamas, all they are doing is creating the next and more desperately angry generation. Israel can't ethnically cleanse Palestinians and even they likely won't try to kill them all. So what are they doing now?
Netanyahu needs more war to stay in power. The US won't let them attack Iran, so Lebanon is Netanyahu's goal to extend his war time power.
Again, what will they gain?
It just needs to stop.
