that's because the lack of nationallism omong iraqis you see the iranians love their persian magians and jews more than theylove afghan or arab shias, the turks love their tengrist brothers more than they love their sunni nieghbors while our people prefer sunni turk or kurd over shia arab in the south while the shia prefer iranians and pakistani shias over their own iraqi sunni brothers!! at the same time iranians prefere iranian jew over shia arab becuase they are nationalists who love their culture and land more than our retards who prefer sect over their blood and land.
I will be honest now, I have only experienced this with Iraqi Shia Arabs to date among all Arabs. When I discussed politics (in this case online, not experienced it in person yet) with some of the Iraqi Shia Arabs from the South (mainly), people who openly and proudly told which Arab tribe and clan they belonged to, that they have relatives in KSA and recent ancestors from KSA/Arabia/other areas of the Arab world (as almost every Iraq Shia Arab has), despite all this and sharing everything in common, they gave me the impression that they would side with a Shia non-Arab that shares their ideology, over that of their own brethren. I don't know if those individuals were part of Iraqi families that were wronged by the Saddam regime (say Marsh Arabs) but it was very strange to witness.
It is funny because Iraqi Shia Arabs used to be one of the biggest Arab nationalists not long ago, they still got it in them, as seen recently, but as usual it is the tiny minority of Wilayat al-Faqih drones, not 99% of all Iraqi Shia Arabs.
For Gods sake, Iraqi Shia Arabs are some of the most traditional Arabs out there. In many ways due to less Westernization/poverty/political isolation due to the state of Iraq, they often tend to be very conservative in terms of Arab customs, more so than the average Saudi Arabian for instance from my experience.
To be honest, I cannot hate my own people, and I consider them cousins/siblings now living across an artificial border less than 100 years old. It just pains me when I see how much their elites (clerics in included) have taken advantage of them, as they are truly some of the traditional barriers of Arabism, not talking about the political aspect here.
I still remember how locals in Northern KSA hosted almost 200.000 Iraqi Shia Arabs like their own after the uprising in 1991. Including filth like Nouri al-Maliki.
I remember the many recent visits, the football match in Basra, the KSA expo in Basra etc. We are one people that should not allow for political regimes/foreigners to separate us as this will not work. Similarly the bonds between people of Southern KSA and Northern Yemen will never be broken, no proxy war will change this as can be seen.
