This is Israeli Nicole Raviv and Emirati Ahmed Alhosani singing the Israeli national anthem together.
--
why is an Emirati singing the Israeli national anthem ... ?
Arab regimes/rulers care more about their buildings, economy than Palestinians. They have no independence and political/moral dignity, when it comes to themselves and specially to Palestinians. The people have no say, either the general or some tribal chiefs decide for everyone and all of them, if they dont assist Israel in the background (like Emirates and who knows Bahrain and Morocco) they dont help or support Palestinians either.Arabs have a lot more to lose. Have a lot more risk as well in going up against the US. What they are trying to do is leverage their deep ties with the US to gain a better outcome. And persuade the US to get onboard with a independent Palestinian state.
Iran itself is open to US trade/investment/ties, not with Israel:
In a speech on Wednesday, Pezeshkian said Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei "has no opposition to American investors."

Houthis have existed before Iranian revolution, they're a tough warrior tribe but yes I don't deny the rest.
Muslims leaders collectively have bigger leverage against the United States
Not Iran alone. Their combined efforts can work, and it seemingly is working now because US got worried how far Israel will take it.
The pressure works
You are too obsessed about Arabs while at the same time claiming to support other Arabs. Does not work like that.Arab regimes/rulers care more about their buildings, economy than Palestinians. They have no independence and political/moral dignity, when it comes to themselves and specially to Palestinians. The people have no say, either the general or some tribal chiefs decide for everyone and all of them, if they dont assist Israel in the background (like Emirates and who knows Bahrain and Morocco) they dont help or support Palestinians either.
Iranians have their "Javanmardi, shahnamehmixed with Shia muslim ethics (standing up against oppression) mixed up and decided to give up on economy. Some Iranians want to follow the Arab model (certain liberals and followers of son of Shah). But this goes against the character/mentality of Iranians, it's very conflicting.
Yes we can do trade with USA, but that would be based on being equals, not becoming blind consumers of US weapon industry, goods or giving them military bases or to rent and sell our sovereinity. Trading stands separate from those other things.
Houthis/Yemenis and Palestinians are brave people. I wish their bravery and current suffering leads to positive results and prosperity in the future, a better quality of life. They shattered the idea that west cared about human rights, they shattered the fake image of victimhood propaganda from Zionia.
You are too obsessed about Arabs while at the same time claiming to support other Arabs. Does not work like that.
All while Arabs are the ones fighting against/starting wars against Israel/Jews since the very beginning in 1948 and doing by far the most sacrifices economically, politically and military since that time period.
You are also talking about like the entire Arab world has "normalized" with Israel. Not the case. Vast majority of Arab states, including all the main Arab states have never normalized with Israel.
Even the likes of Egypt only normalized due to several hard-fought wars. Even despite this (open diplomatic, economic, people to people (tourists mostly) etc. ties) most Egyptians dislike Israelis heavily and are against their policies in Palestine. Same goes for every other Arab country that has normalized which again are an overall small minority. Only other Arab neighbor of Israel to normalize is Jordan for the very same reasons like Egypt.
You are creating some alternative reality. Iran was the main regional ally of Israel from 1948 until 1979 along with Turkey. Even closer ally than Turkey. Where were those imaginary things you are writing about in regard to Iranian character etc. and some ideology for all that time back then?
Even during the Mullah reign, Iran was happily receiving and accepting Israeli support (Iran-Contra affair) against Iraq.

Same Iranian Mullah regime was happily aiding the US (which worked along with Israel which was the main regional country along with Iran that wanted the removal of Saddam Hussein and Taliban) to topple/invade Iraq in 2003 and Afghanistan in 2001.
You have several Iranian high-ranking Mullahs and the likes of Ahmadinejad (President) openly claiming and bragging about it.
Stop the theatre my friend, nobody is buying it.
Same thing with Israel attacks on Hezbollah (supposed Iranian ally) and Palestine. Iran did nothing, despite 46 years of constant propaganda. This only changed when ISRAEL itself attacked Iran several times. So it was never about "protecting" any Hamas or Palestinians but simply replying to a direct attack. Case in point complete Iranian silence (like rest of the Muslim world) since June and until now when 1000's of Palestinians have been killed by Israel.
Israel-Iranian confrontation (for the first time in 45-6 years) only occurred in the first place because the Iranian proxies were getting defeated/losing ground/losing Syria. Which was always only about defending Iranian borders from afar and keeping conflict away from Iran itself at the expense of said countries. Israel also realized that most of the Iranian power was an illusion by large. People/entire neighborhood thought after 46 years and after 37 years of mostly peace, that Iran was far stronger than it turned out to be. This strategy eventually turned out to be a failure when the Iranian project (in the region) collapsed after the Al-Assad regime collapsed.
Now the Iranian regime, in order to keep in power, and given the many economic, environmental, social, political and divisions within Iran, will be slowly slowing down from forcing involvements and focusing inwards while trying to court wealthy Arab states, Turkey and others to regain trust.
Even the likes of PressTV is changing their tune:

You need to adapt to the new reality and change your tune.
But you yourself are an opponent, heavily critical of the Islamic Republic of Iran (regime) so why this double standard? Iranians, in particular the large secular, anti-Muslim and anti-Arab segment of Iranian society, are also the biggest supporters of Israel in the region. All those famous Iranian political figures in the diaspora are all pro-Israel (heavily). Even your former Crown Prince. Most Iranians even on this forum, from what I have seen, want nothing to do with this conflict.Too long to read to be honest. Snapshots of Rouhani or this and that dont say anything about the course/direction of Islamic republic. I'm not obsessed, just mentioning the facts and also praising independent Arabs, and any other power which shows courage, be it Spain or South Africa, Ireland or Palestinians or anyone else.
You really believe so?I’m sure the military chiefs of Islamic countries have considered various scenarios and ultimately come up empty-handed.
I don't believe we need a months long campaign but rather to creative about deterrence options. There has be some ways of deterring Israel. That I don't know about. Muslims and the Muslim professionals/experienced army vets are more creative than me.Let me ask you this: how can you expect Muslim countries to wage a campaign lasting months or even years when their air forces, navies, and land armies rely on military equipment and parts from the collective West?
Like I said, I'm truly not sure I would think Arab/Muslim leadership are better aware of these details.Can the countries source raw material's logistically to build arms to sustain? Aside from Turkey and Pakistan, which maintain standing armies due to the regional challenges they face, the rest of the Arab armies function more like security forces to protect the royal families or dynasties than effective military forces.
Yes they would, because in the end they support the exisistence and survival of these states and believe it's a religious duty.Would those soldiers, truly fight on behalf of the regimes that collectively put the region in the current situation that's facing them? Let me ask further, would those who were repressed and brutalized, be willing to pick up arms to defend or fight on behalf of a state?
Which is why I was always critical of this nonsense peace deal which was always a joint Israeli and US creation that did not address any of the underlining problems at play (plight of Palestinians, Palestinian statehood, Palestinian unity government etc.) The only reason why I supported it begrudgingly was because it stopped the genocide but even that turned out to be a false thing, as I an many others feared, because Israel has broken the deal on numerous occasions and some 350 Palestinians have been killed since the deal was signed.Jewish and American Kaffirs continue to bombard Gaza throughout the night
47 Palestinians have been murdered
That's how America pays Arab allies back. By stabbing them in the back, deceiving them, and endangering their national security.
