Yes, 'palestiné' is a lost cause. I suggest the arabs there to convert to judaism.
The persians just use it to pretend to be the vanguard of islam; its pointless becos (sunni) islam basically is arabism there.
As an ethnic group, the arabs performed poorly in the past few decades.
As I mentioned before religions at the macro level often are vehicle of racial/tribal interest, best examples are:
--judaism(the 'çhosen people')..the difference is most of them live in diaspora and they got to smart up
--(Sunni)Islam--Most of the basic features are just old arab culture sanctified like burqa, polygamy, pork ban..
--Hinduism--apartheid pyramid with brahmin at the top/dalits at bottom and all the 'spirituality'sugar coatings
............
Arabia will be culturally lost if (sunni) islam, their only big civilisational pillar, got a 'modernity' update.
In the coming decades, Allah will take the gift of petroleum away from them and the gulf arabs will b fvcked
