    They should do nothing. Iran can’t invade Israel. Israel can’t invade Iran If Iran attacks civilians, they risk setting off a larger war in the area. Iran isn’t popular with the Arabs. I suspect they’ll do a small limited attack against something Israeli and call victory. They know if it went to war, they’ll lose.

        The Arabs? What does that mean? That’s like saying all South Americans think collectively and cohesively. Arabs are comprised of vastly different cultures from vastly different regions. There is a lot of nuance and the word is often used as an orientalism.

          As an Egyptian, you’re overthinking it. Almost all Arabs have a very similar image of Israel because we’ve seen firsthand (or secondhand from Palestinians) how ridiculously horrible Israel is.

            Fair, and much respect. There is an aspect of centrist-right to far-right western culture that consolidates all Arabs into one group with intent to demonize. It is fairly common.

          All the people sharing the same past with those countries have somewhat similar views of them because of their past interactions with each other.
