    Of course I’m not assuming anyone supports Israel or that the people and government are the same
    This rant was purely against governments, sorry if I worded it wrong

      The Saudi, UAE and (to a lesser extent) Egyptian (edit: governments) are all for whatever Israel does. It’s more complicated in other countries because the people are against it but the government isn’t, so you have to be against Israel just enough to please the people but not too much that you displease the government ❤️

      What did you mean by the bolded section if not “it’s not complicated in Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Egypt because the people and the government support it”? I don’t mean to be confrontational here, but I don’t see how else that sentence can be interpreted.

        Other countries the people are against the genocide but the governments aren’t really (some may at least “condemn” Israel for their public image)

            Mostly no, but you’d be surprised how many are okay with it in Saudi and the UAE
            Happens because they’re nationalists, support whatever the government does

      Very bad wording, it makes it seem like you’re accusing the Saudi, uea, and Egyptian people of doing so
