Nowadays is the moment where those who shaped our modern societies forgot their legacy...
The Region, didn't start with Arabs. Civilisation after Civilisation, They used Death and Blood as a sacrifice to Rise or Fall.
When a society/Group/Entity feel threaten, he will adapt...Evolve... By transcending himself or Kill himself... Therefore in our Case, I believe we can surpass it, but for that, you need a life threatening entity... That's how Humans Behave... We need it, to push out the Limits that some retards in power put upon the people because of their limiting understanding and stupidity.
Qatar is like a cornered cat... Who will show off his fangs... You can't blame them...They want to survive and will do anything for that... Whatever they are right or wrong, it isn't the main subject... The main one is "How can you use such event to transcend yourself?"
as for Why X can't Help the Arabs, Well tbh, it's the same Question that every other Arab outside the Gulf states are asking... What can't the Gulf states, with all their money invest/Help their fellow Arabs around the region who are in need of a little boost? The Answer is simple... Because they don't feel the need/They don't think they should/They don't think it's their role/They don't think that having Oil/Gas is a sufficient excuse to help any other Arabs... Till, They are some benefit in it.
One Example is Tunisia per exemple... We are out of a successful revolution... and till this day..;No help...No interesting Foreign Investment... So, we are doing everything alone, with the little loan we could get, here and there... In TN, Gulf "promises" goes in one Hear and exit from the other... Like the Multibillion$ from Qatar few years ago... That never put foot in the Country... Or the MultiBillion$ from KSA/UAE... same... nothing... or the Bahreini Investment... still... nothing... and so on.
The Other Exemple is Egypt, They are a crucial partner and therefore Help will follow.
And so on...
I, personally don't like Charity... I feel it's Humiliating, I understand, sometimes when you get through a difficult moment, you wish that Brothers to help... But, most of the time it's only Words... to please the T movement...
As for your last Statement, there is one Difference btw Europe and Our Region... and many seems to forget it... Death is a beginning while for the other guys... it's a End... Therefore the Time Limit is Different.
Many may think it's Cultural or whatever... Nah... We just have different Time range when it comes to "Transformation"...
Death for the Region is a Currency... More you pay... More you will get rewarded... The amount of sacrifice is proportional to your "Evolution". A nation that gave nothing or Little... Would not go far in the ladder of History...
Yes, Arabs (as in regime) have not lived up to our glorious past. At all. For many decades. However you can say the same about all other Muslim rulers. If Muslims want to learn from others, fellow Muslims are not the people to learn from. Unless Iran should be the model? Or Afghanistan? Or even the country that this forum is about? Or Turkey's Erdogan? No need to continue.
It started with the ancestors of modern-day Arabs who were and are native people like the Arabs. There were no other. Everyone that was before from Arabia to Western Maghreb, was absorbed by us modern-day Arabs. So we are the only ones that can claim their history due to actual history, genetics etc.
Of course we can surpass this. What we see today is noting compared to what we have witnessed before. Arabs cannot be destroyed unless somebody destroys 20 + countries and kills 500 million people and one of the largest diaspora in the world that is scattered from Latin America in the West to South East Asia in the East.
It matters because survival for the sake of it is not the answer in civilized countries. That would equal to me killing brothers or people who never did me harm for the sake of enriching my interests while I do not lack anything. Qatar is that tiny country (Qatar = Al-Thani regime) who despite being blessed with tons of money (more than any other country compared to their population size) while dreaming about turning into, I don't know what.
Qatar was cornered for a reason. Because of the reasons that I stated. It was cornered after 20+ years of disruptive policies.
The Arab states of the Arabian Peninsula (GCC states, as Iraq, Jordan and Yemen are not members) have supported the Arab world economically more than any other Muslim country. It's not even close.
KSA, speaking about the Maghreb, has kept Morocco afloat for a very long time. Been the economic lifeline for Yemen, Jordan etc. Supported Iraq for 8 years at their most difficult moment. Supported Palestine more than anyone else. Supported Egypt economically for decades. Just like they supported us (Hijaz in particular) for centuries. Supported Syria in the 1980's, 1990's and early 2000's when they were sanctioned by the West. Supported even fellow GCC states when in financial trouble (Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman). List is long and that was only fellow Arab states.
Could more be done? Surely. Are the regimes in power looking for their own survival first and foremost like every regime in the Muslim world? Of course. For instance take your neighbor Algeria. A country that could, if they had a better regime, help breaded their OWN people and the neighborhood due to their resources. Yet criminally mismanaged.
Libya, during Gaddafi, despite being the richest African country per capita, Libyans were going to Tunisia for medical treatments.
Now tell me if the GCC states have done worse or better? Everyone knows that it was better. If not for the GCC (modern era) the Arab world would be in even more chaos. In particularly economically and politically.
But who did what, when or how, who could do better, is irrelevant here. We are all Arabs and we should all understand that the success of another state is our success, in particular if we take part in this success or share it either directly or indirectly. A stable region in the Arab world means a stable wider Arab region x or y and by default the entire Arab world. When large-scale protests occur in Tunisia (Arab Spring) other Arabs copy it due to linguistic, cultural, geographic, historical etc. reasons and modern-day technology (internet).
Please show me where KSA promised Tunisia billions of investments? The GCC, having their own problems and even wars to look after, cannot save the entire world, while at the same time, Muslims from Somalia to Indonesia and Pakistan, expect help as well.
You know the political reasons for that and who/which parties governed Tunisia and their worldview. Again, this is politics, in the prefect world, this should not matter and brother should help brother. You know more than most that I am all about this (if I was a ruler) so what modern-day regimes do on this front, I am very much against. The perfect example was KSA-Iraq relations (having ties to both countries) post 2003. You believe that this did not annoy me each week when I thought about it? Do you imagine how many posts I have written about this on Arab forums, social media, here on PDF and how many personal talks I have had about this? Millions of Arabs can say the same about any such relationship in the Arab world.
Look, most Maghrebis are against their regimes and complain about why more is not done to develop it. Or what is going on in Libya.....
As for your last part of your post, that was an intelligent conclusion, and after reading it, I find it hard to disagree.
BTW, people here will claim that I am anti-Turkey while my problem is with Erdogan's policies in certain Arab states and the anti-Arab Turkish hypocrites on PDF. I just don't like double standards and obvious hypocrisy. When somebody here is cursing "Gulfies" while kissing the "Gulfie" (LOL) hands of Qatar (that saves them), what to tell to such hypocrites?
Let's not label All of the Arab nations as KSA and UAE, apart from them there are many other Arab countries with dignities.
Back to idiotic one-liners after being left speechless and unable to reply to my factual posts. I thought so. 3 weeks ago you were writing that Turkey never had a problem with KSA. You are just angry that I spoke the truth. I have news for you. Most Arabs, that are not braindead Al-Than bootlickers or MB fanatics or sympathizers, agree with my views. And an anti-Arab praising Arabs. As if we don't know this comedy.
I also remember surveys from Turkey that showed that KSA was the most friendly viewed Muslim country in the Middle East after Azerbaijan (which is Caucasus).
I thought that you were anti-Erdogan and a nationalist. I must have been wrong since you are parroting Islamist propaganda and similar nonsense.
Anyway it does not matter what foreigners have to say about Arab issues. What is certain is that tiny Qatar's dirty games will be dealt with eventually and Erdogan is also soon going to become the past in Turkey. And traitors are always dealt with eventually. One way or another.
