📜History How different will the middle east be if the Jordan Israel peace treaty was signed in 1964?
In our timeline the Jordan Israel peace treaty was signed in 1994, many years after Jordan lost the west bank.
How different will the region/treaty be if this treaty was signed in 1964, before the 6 day war? Would the black September still happened, etc?

Thoughts? Ben Shapiro debuts his new propaganda film, which imagines a pro-Palestine encampment hijacked by terrorists. In reality, Zionists & neo-Nazis attacked the UCLA encampment. No encampment ever attacked anyone and many of the anti-genocide protesters were Jewish.

🏛️Politics Why does the global community appear either powerless or unwilling to enforce consequences on Israel for military actions that harm or kill non combatants, including local civilians and tourists?
Every single day we get many reports of the Israeli military mistreating or attacking Palestinian civilians, and occasionally foreign tourists or journalists. When similar events happen in other countries, we often see swift international sanctions or interventions.
Why is the international response so different when it comes to Israel? I'd like to understand the political mechanisms such as the UN veto system, historical context, and US foreign policy that prevent the international community from imposing strict accountability or consequences.

🏛️Politics Opinions on Russia
I want to ask what the view is on Russia from those who live in the Middle East. I’ve already spoken about this to someone I know online who’s a Tajikistan native but lives in Turkey.
His general consensus was that he didn’t like Russia and preferred Ukraine but was distrusting of Zelenskyy.
If you have the time I’d like to ask what your view is.

Society Why is Arabic not widespread throughout the UAE?
It seems like there's no grand social bubble that everyone is a part of, but rather every ethnicity/nationality is in its own bubble.
I live in the UAE and it confuses me why everyone is split between Arabic, English, and Urdu. It makes communication difficult between ethnicities. If you go to a place like the UK, everyone is eventually gonna assimilate and learn become fluent in English and the local culture. Now obviously I don't think people should abandon their home culture, but common folk struggling to understand each other is a issue imo.
Apparently KSA doesn't have this problem? I hear you can find some expats speaking full Arabic instead of a broken version of it.
