This comment being remove I didn’t expect… I guess the NYT is misinformation now, or people would rather not know “why is this race so close”?

Supporting genocide hurt it massively in the Arab and Muslim world.

I hope one day the rail network in Egypt is connected to Saudi Arabia. There has been talks about a bridge across the Gulf of Aqaba, but maybe that won’t be necessary.

US has sent Israel thousands of 2,000-pound bombs since Oct. 7

Not really complicated. That’s why Irish MEP Clare Daly called him “Butcher Biden” and said he dishonors the legacy of his ancestors. It seems many Irish-Americans agree.

As far as I know, economy seats are still sold at a loss. They make up for it in the higher classes. I don’t fly through Doha often but when I do, I do like getting on Qatar Airways.

Gorgeous. Two of my favorite things.

Interesting, not a projection that I have seen before.

As long as she falsely claims Israel has the right to defend itself, everything else she says is noise.

English is confusing and before making this post I had to double check that I am using the correct word and not the other one that you mean here.

The dishes made with them are prepared in a similar manner. Rice in Mashreq replaced bulgur sometime over the past century or so.

The map doesn’t include Iran or Turkiye.

Is bread a processed food? It doesn’t grow on trees. Bread can also be a staple food.

The loss of the Hejaz Railway is still a great tragedy. There are planned railroads that will connect to Iraq, and it is possible to go to Jordan from Saudi Arabia by train, but nothing like what has been lost so far.

Why are they dropping bombs that take out entire blocks though? They aren’t even being precise about it. It is not like they have hidden their genocidal intents.

“The emphasis is on damage and not on accuracy” – Daniel Hagari

“We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly” – Yoav Gallant

Just a few of many quotes that reveal their intents and yet here you are defending genocide.

I do enjoy the hypocrisy of Western leaders, they aren’t even tacit about it anymore, and the public evidently are so propagandized as to justify genocide even when they think they oppose it.

The line is a bit more blurry on the East side than the West but this might just be my own bias coming from Lebanon.

I always thought Urban Hejaz and the Levant [and Egypt] share in a dialect continuum or at least a sprachbund, I don’t know a lot of dialects that say مرق to mean pass except those two. Urban Hejazi dialects also drop the use of interdentals like in Lebanese. In the same way Bahrani dialect Bahrain/Eastern Saudi Arabia shares with Mesopotamia in having Akkadian and Aramaic influences.

Here’s a fun comparison between Hejazi and Najdi dialects https://youtube.com/shorts/Fi9_bNiazOA

More aggressive in tone on average.

Only the Bedouin and Najdi dialects which happen to be over represented. Jeddawi in particular and other Urban Hejazi dialects are seen as effeminate https://youtu.be/AHWbA0b9bK4
