POVERTY IN OIL RICH ARABIA - A Single Generation Removed

Поделиться

  • Опубликовано: 18 окт 2024
  • Human nature forces us to not look back when the past is difficult or at times embarrassing. This phenomenon applies to many people from the Arabian Gulf who have experienced both the harsh life of the early to mid-20th century as well as the luxury of an oil-based welfare economy that spoils its citizens. In one generation people experienced poverty and affluence, and also shame, in how they were to deal with the memory inferiority of the harsh and simplistic conditions of their past life.
    This video examines such a dynamic and how Arabs from rich nations have changed their behaviour due to the new wealth that they’ve been blessed by, to the extent that they look down upon others who are less fortunate.

    The irony is that in upperclass social dynamics "old money" is the highest standard and not something that anyone can really aspire to. But one is born into it. It's not only shame that plagues oil rich arabs but also self loathing to some extent because of the extreme riches and lifestyles.

    I have noticed that it's usually second and third generations ( especially if there is money and status involved) that don't want to admit past poverty and hardships. First generation should always write their experiences in books such as ' From Rags to Riches A Story of Abu Dhabi ' by Mohammed Al - Fahim .

    I believe that poverty in the Arabian Peninsula was due to the Ottoman occupation, as there was no education and there was marginalization of the Arabs, but after the Ottomans were expelled and our countries were built, and then the emergence of oil, this helped rapid development and development.
    The Arab Gulf states are the most generous countries in the world in providing aid, grants, gifts, and loans to the countries of the world, and the peoples of the Gulf states are also among the most generous peoples in the world in caring for orphans, helping the poor and widows, building wells, supporting Islamic endowments that care for orphans, and a role in building mosques, etc.
    I do not believe that the Gulf Arabs were influenced by money, but rather they have a constitution, which is the Qur’an and the Sunnah, which guides them on how to manage money for development and helping the poor.

      Yes Gulf nations have been benevolent for many decades to developing nations both in Asia and Africa. This though is on a sovereign level. But at the same time there is a presence of a superiority by the people, many but not all concerning other less fortunate peoples.

      @@thekandarichronicles Shouting louder will not awaken empathy or a desire to live up to the ideals of historical moral aspirations. Among Arabs, empathy towards one another is relatively new as it manifests today. The introduction of the nation-state over the past century has created a ‘new’ other. This is particularly acute among the Gulf nations, where hierarchical societies based around absolute monarchies lead to a competition to get close to the royals as it is the only path to resources and opportunities. This competition results in the perception that those outside this national structure are not equal humans with the same desires and aspirations for happiness. As a result, the cruelty and apathy in the Gulf are extreme. For example, the mistreatment of maids, from Qatar to Lebanon, highlights the severe lack of empathy. Migrant workers are often treated with disdain, exploited for their labour without regard for their well-being. Previously ‘brotherly’ nations then become units for exploitation. This is also mirrored to a lesser extent in the Levantine dictatorships, where individuals are often stereotyped based on their nationality, rendering individual merit irrelevant.
      Apathy and cruelty, buttressed by a culture built on exploitation as evidenced by the Khalafa system’s mere existence, is something that under normal circumstances should result in shame. Yet, more often than not, people from these nations do not care.
      In my humble view, this hubris that has taken hold will never leave. Paradoxically, as these societies become more unequal, this phenomenon will only get worse. The memory of the forebearers' struggles and how that mirrors the struggles of those less fortunate today is not and will not be on the radar of the majority.
      I can only conclude that the average person's great grandparents would be proud of the level of progress that their countries have achieved whilst being ashamed of who their progeny have become.

    As always a unique and enlightening topic. I come from a place where there is also insecurities about the west, much of it probably engrained by Hollywood. Blond blue eyes are “special”, having a grandparent who studied abroad a sign of superiority, etc. Thigh I didn’t grow up amongst them, I learned to change that within myself and be proud of who I am, though it took a long while to deprogram myself.
    A few years back I was at a pool hall and played with someone from my homeland, he introduced himself to me then noticed I didn’t say anything and during the game he hinted again at his last name and asked eventually if I’ve heard it before, which I truly hadn’t and you could see he was offended. That’s just another form of that insecurity to layer their heritage over yours.
    The insecurity and shame in the West is much simpler, all comes down to one thing, money and it doesn’t necessarily have to be old money. As a matter of fact, they will tell you how they grew up in poverty for generations.

    Tbh I had thought this video would be about poverty in the Arabian peninsula but in the current age, but notwithstanding, great video, though. A trip back in history.
    Also, with regards to poverty in current Arabia, it still does exist, though, unfortunately, despite the oil wealth hoarded by the ruling(not royal) family. I watched a RUclips video on some channel that was exploring the Arabian countryside, which I greatly enjoyed. The guest, a native of the village, complained that he couldn't marry because it had become expensive and that he couldn't afford it. One would have thought Saudi Arabia would be past that, but no. Unfortunate. 😢

      Simple math Odemaj8605. For example Nigeria, the largest oil producer of Sub Saharan Africa produces 1.5 Million barrels of oil a day. With a population of over 230 Million. In all the major oil producing states in the Arabian peninsula, the total population won't hit 60 Million but with a daily production of 18 Million barrels. Plus the extraction of oil and gas from the Arabian peninsula is cheapest in the world hence the profits are highest for these nations.

    حاول أخي الغالي معالجة الصورة النمطية الخاصة عن المرأة المسلمة وخاصة بدولنا في الخليج العربي ، ان توضّح اختلاف الشريعة الإسلامية عن القوانين الليبرالية فيما يسمى بالحقوق والواجبات والحريات والأخلاق والمساواة وسأذكر لك أمثلة كثيرة لأن السياح الغربيين غثونا في دول الخليج العربي في التحدث عن اضطهاد المرأة العربية والمسلمة والتحدث بفوقية وكأنهم معيار اخلاقي للعرب ومعرفة ماهو صواب وخطأ لنا بناء على المشرعين الغربيين رغم أننا لم نقل ذلك ولن نقل ذلك أبداً لأننا لا نراهم معيار اخلاقي لا للعرب ولا للمسلمين ، معيار الصواب والخطأ للمسلمين هو نصوص القرآن والسنة فقط لأنهما وحيين من الخالق وهم منهج الحياة للمسلم .. للإيضاح بنقاط اعتقد هي الأكثر شيوعاً
    1. مفهوم المساواة لانؤمن بها : لأن المرأة مختلفة عن الرجل في احتياجاتها وقوتها وقدراتها لذلك من الظلم أن نساوي بين الرجل والمرأة ، بل للمرأة حقوق رعاية أكبر وللرجل مسؤوليات أكثر ، ففي المجتمع الغربي يتم دفع النساء في بيئة العمل بل وطرد الفتيات في سن 18 في بعض الأسر والنتجية اقهار المرأة وربما تنحرف أو يتم استغلالها بحجة انها امراة ويجب ان تعتمد على نفسها في بيئة عمل تنافسية ، بينما المراة الخليجية كمثال لأنهم مستهدفيننا خاصة ، تتكفل الأسرة بجميع حقوقها المالية والرعاية وتعيش مركمة في أسرتها حتى تموت ويحق لها أن لا تعمل ، لأن العمل مسؤولية الرجال ، وللمرأة الحق في التجارة والعمل إذا أرادت ذلك ، كما أن المرأة راتبها حق لها فقط ، بينما راتب الرجل هو في الانفاق على احتياجات أسرتهُ . لذلك نرفض المساواة بين الجنسين . والمرأة والرجل جنسين يكمل بعضمها البعض وليسوا متنافسين في نظام الأسرة لتوحيد الحقوق والمسؤوليات والواجبات بينهم .
    وتوجد مساواة في العقوبات الجنائية للجنسين بصفتهما كاملين الأهلية ، لكن مفهوم المساواة في قانون الأسرة تراعي اختلاف الجنسين واحتياجات كل طرف للآخر ، ولا يوجد تنافس او عقدة للرجال المسلمين تجاهُ النساء وهم الأمهات والأخوات والزوجات والإبنات .
    2. الحرية الجنسية : مفهوم الحرية في الثقافة العربية حتى قبل الإسلام مفهومة فعندما قال النبي محمد لهند بنت عاتقة أن الزنا حرام فجاوبت متعجبة هل المرأة الحرّة تزني ! المعايير الأخلاقية لدى المرأة العربية الحرة معروفة منذ قديم الزمان وثبّتها الإسلام ، ففي المجتمع الليبرالي الذي يشجع على السفور والزنا بإسم الحرية غارق في الأمراض الجنسية وضياع نسب الأولاد وقتل الأجنة فأمريكا وحدها تم قتل 60 مليون جنين وكذلك أطفال الشوارع وارتباطها بزيادة الجريمة ، فأين حقوق الأطفال في الأبوبة !
    3. الحرية في الملابس : ارتبطت الحشمة بقيمة المرأة الرفيعة في الأمم القديمة وفي الأديان السماوية وقدوة المرأة المسلمة هي مريم العذراء وزوجات وبنات النبي محمد صلوات الله عليه في الحشمة والأخلاق والوقار والأدب في تعاملها مع الرجال الأجانب ، والمرأة المسلمة تريد تقليد هذه النماذج المميزة جداً في قيمهم وثقافتهم الأخلاقية ، ولا ترى أن زوجات الملوك والرؤوساء والفنانات والمغنيات قدوة للمراة المسلمة أبداً لأن المعيار الأخلاقي مرتبط أيضاً بكيفة نظر الرجال الأجانب إليها ، فالمراة المسلمة لا تريد أن يخدش رجل غريب خصوصييها في اللباس والعالم الغربي متورط في نسب القتل والاغتصاب والتحرش الجنسي والغواية بلا حلول ليبرالية لأن الحلول هي لدينا في القانون الإسلامي لأن الشريعة هي قوانين من الوحي وتعرف طبيعة الرجال والنساء ، ومن طبيعة الرجل أن يتأثر بجمال المرأة وعطرها وملبسها وحركتها الخ.. وكل مايثيره غريزياً سيؤثر على عقلهُ ونفسيتهُ وراحتهُ لذلك الرجال الغربيين متفزين للجنس بسبب مايشاهدونهُ بشكل مستمر من نساء متبرّجات ، بينما في القانون الإسلامي يحث المرأة على العفاف والحشمة وغض البصر وكذلك من واجب الرجال غض البصر ، ويتجاهل القانون الغربي حرية المجتمع في مشاهدة نساء محتشمات كي لا يثير غرائزهم ويؤثر على عقولهم ونفسيتهم الخ.. بينما يؤيد الحرية الفردية التي تدفع المجتمع لمشاهدة مايزيد من الاثارة الجنسية ومن ثم الوقوع في الجريمة .
    الإسلام لم يهتم بمعاقبة المجرمين فقط بل وفر قوانين وقائية للمرأة لحمايتها من المجرمين مثل : عدم سفرها بدون محرم والكثير من استغلال النساء في بيوت الدعارة ارتبطت بعمل وهمي بأجر كبير فعندما سافرت بدون أقاربها وجدت انها في وسط عصابة تتاجر بالبشر ، عدم جلوسها مع رجل منفردة لوحدهما والكثير من جرائم الاغتصاب كانت في أماكن العمل وفي السفر لوحدها او ادخال رجل اجنبي في المنزل ، عدم التعطر والمشي بكعب عالي لأن هذه الأمور مما تجذب انتباه الرجال للنساء وبالتالي محاولة غوايتهن او مطاردتهن الخ..
    4. الشذوذ الجنسي : القانون الإسلامي لا يؤمن بالحرية طالما تؤثر في الفرد او المجتمع ، فالشذوذ ارتبطت طبياً بالأمراض الجنسية والإيدز مثلاً انتشر في بداياته واتربط بهذه العلاقة وهي من الأمراض المميتهُ ، كذلك تسبب هذه العلاقة الكثير من الأمراض الصحية على الطرفين حتى وإن استخدمت الكثير من الطرق لتلافي أي إصابة ، كما أنهُ يسبب عدم قدرة المفعول به على التحكم في نفسهُ لأن فتحة الشرج عبارة عن صمام من جهة واحدة فإذا تم دفعة من جهة أخرى يتم خرق الصمام فلا يستطيع بعد ذلك المفعول به أن يتحكم في مصدر الإخراج .
    5. تعدد الزوجات : تعدد الزوجات هي في القوانين السماوية فالأنبياء كانوا متعددين والشعوب الشرقية الوثنية كالشنتو والبوذيين او بأفريقيا كانوا متعددين الزوجات ماحدث أن الدول الليبرالية قررت أن يكتفي الرجل بزوجة واحدة فقط وقامت بشيطنة كل من يخالف ذلك ، لكن الشريعة الإسلامية لا تحرم تعدد الزوجات لأنهُ هو من صالح النساء والمجتمع ، فلو كانت امراة عقيم او مريضة و قرر رجل الزواج من زوجة ثانية فالزوجة الأولى لم تخسر زوجها والزوجة الثانية سعدت بالزواج من رجل ، ولو كان الرجل كثير المتطلبات الجسدية والعاطفية والعملية فمن صالح المرأة الأولى أن يتزوج من امراة ثانية وستسعد الزوجتين بذلك ، كما أن الطلاق ليس محبباً في شريعتنا فكم من زوجة أولى كانت تبتز زوجها أو تضايقهُ وتعكّر صفوهُ ويستطيع ان يطلقها لكن عندما تزوج من امراة ثانية اصحلت اخلاق الزوجة الأولى واصبحن في تنافس في رضى الزوج وتحسنت الحياة الزوجية للزوجين والزوج معهم .. الخ.. >> تكملة في الرد على التعليق

      6. المشاركة السياسية للمرأة : الانتخابات الديمقراطية هي مفهوم غربي وليس إسلامي ففي الإسلام يوجد الشورى وهي لأهل العقد والرأي وليس لعامة الناس والذي يمكن التلاعب بهم بالأموال أو تحليل المحرمات والشهوات الخ.. اختيار الحاكم هو إلتزام بإختيار الأنسب والاصلح للمجتمع من اهل الحل والعقد القريبين جداً من فهم الشخصيات التي يختارونها لقيادة المجتمع المسلم .
      7. الميراث الإسلامي ومؤخر الطلاق : في المجتمع الغربي الكثير من شبابها لا يريد الزواج خوفاً من رفع قضية طلاق ثم الحصول على نصف أموال الرجل بكل سهولة ويسر لذلك اصبح استغلال النساء عادة في المجتمع الغربي لأن الرجال لا يريدون الزواج لأنهم يتعايشون مع الريبة والقلق من ان تخونهُ زوجتهُ بقضية طلاق ثم تطالب بنصف مالهُ ، بينما في الشريعة الإسلامية فيوجد توازن يشجع الرجال على الزواج بمنع الزنا وعدم قدرة المرأة المطلقة على سرقة مال طليقها بحجة الخيانة او المظلومية لكن من حق المطلقات والأرامل ان يحصلن على دعم مالي من طليقها او من اسرتها او من الدولة كمصروف شهري لتعيش في عفاف واستقلالية وليس في ترف لأنها خانت زوجها ، بالنسبة للميراث أموال الرجال هي تعود على الانفاق على نساءهُ للأم والزوجة والإبنة وكذلك الأخت إن احتاجت ذلك بل للرجل مسؤوليات اخلاقية في الانفاق على النساء الأقارب من الدرجة الثالثة والرابعة والخامسة والسادسة إذا كان اقرب الرجال إليهن قرباً ومساعدتهن عند الحاجة لذلك من الطبيعي أن نرى في المجتمعات العربية والإسلامية من ينفق على بنات عم الأب أو ماهم ابعد من ذك ، بينما الميراث للمرأة هو حق خاص لها فقط وليس لها التزام شرعي بالإنفاق على زوجها او اخوانها الخ.. وكذلك في نظام الميراث يختلف تنويع الميراث بحسب عدد أفراد العائلة ونوعية القرابة لذلك في حالات كثيرة تحصل المرأة على مبلغ أكبر من الرجال .
      بينما في قانون الإسلام حتى في مؤخر الطلاق يعرف كلاً منهما حقوقهُ وواجباتهُ ومن حق المراة طلب مؤخر طلاق وبالمبلغ الذي تريد وهذا الشيء يجعل العلاقة قبل الزواج واضحة كالشمس ويجعل الرجل يرتاح في اتخاذ القرار الذي يتماشى مع مايريدهُ دون إيذاء الطرف الآخر بعلاقة جنسية بدون أجر وبدون حقوق فقط لأنهُ يحس بالريبة من جشع زوجتهُ المستقبلية في رفع قضية طلاق وسرقة نصف ماله. >>> تكملة في التعليق
      8. قيادة المرأة للسيارات : لازال الكثير من الغربيين يتحدث بهذه القضية رغم انها اصبحت من النسيان لكن يمكن إيضاح الدور الاسري و الاجتماعي في منعها لأسباب تتعلق برعاية وحماية المرأة من الخروج لوحدها دون حماية ويمكن النظر لقضايا التحرش والاغتصاب في الطرقات السريعة او السفر من مدينة لأخرى بالعالم الغربي وهي كثيرة كما سمعت وحتى من أفراد من الشرطة . بعد وجود كاميرات مراقبة ووجود هواتف مع النساء وغيرها من الأمور الأمنية اصبح بعض الرجال متفهمين في وجود موانع تمنع من الجريمة ، كذلك عدم قدرة الرجال على تأدية كل الالتزامات في القيام بشؤون الأسرة مع تباعد أماكن عمل الرجل عن زوجتهُ وهي من عوامل الدفع بتشريع قيادة المرأة . 8. القوانين الجنائية في الإعدام : الشريعة الإسلامية لا تتهاون مع المجرمين المصرين على جريمة تستحق الإعدام واهما قتل الإنسان او السرقة بإستخدام السلاح (قطاع الطرق) ومغتصبي النساء والأطفال وممارسي السحر لأنهم يكفرون ويساعدون الجن في إيذاء البشر وكذلك الإرهابيين وتجار المخدرات ، ليس من العدالة تجاهل المأساة على الضحية وحاجتهُ للحصول على العدالة في عقوبة توازي الجريمة التي قام بها المجرم ، فأمريكا مثلاً غارقة في جرائم القتل وترويج المخدرات وقطاع الطرق واغتصاب النساء بكميات كبيرة جداً والسبب هو ضعف القانون ، وكلما كانت القوانين ضغيفة كان ذلك تشجيع للمجرمين على القيام بجرائم أكبر ومصيره السجن كحد أقصى ، لذلك من فوائد العقوبات القاسية هي أن أي إنسان يفكر في القيام بجريمة هو سيعرف بأن القانون لن يرحمهُ لذلك سيتراجع أو سيعاقب بالقتل وهذا يحقق الأمان والسلام للمجتمع ، لذلك في كثير من الدول الإسلامية التي تطبق الشريعة لن يتم سرقتك أو إيذاءك لأن القانون سيحمي الضحية ولن يحمي المجرم القاتل او المغتصب او مروج المخدرات .
      الخ.
      لا ادري اخي طارق هي توجد أيضاً أمور أخرى او لا لكن هذه اعتقد أشهر الإساءات والاسقاطات في مفهوم حقوق المرأة والانسانية الخ.. بصدق غثونا كل سائح يأتي لدولنا يناقش هذه القضايا وكأننا شياطين الإنس وهم ملائكة حقوق النساء والإنسان . واعتقد ضروري معالجة كل هذه النقاط حتى إذا جاء سائح يمكننا ارشادة لهذه المواضيع ليعالج مشكلته ونحن بالعكس مؤمنون بأننا نختار ماهوالأنسب والأصلح .
      وللتوسع أكثر يمكنك الاستفادة من تطبيق او موقع موسوعة الأخلاق المحمودة والمذمومة في الإسلام .
      الملاحظ أنهم لا يهتمون بحقوق المرأة الخليجية في التعليم الجامعي المجاني او العلاج المجاني او قانون الأسرة الذي يحمي المرأة وحقها ف الطلاق ورعاية ابناءها او في دعم سيدات الأعمال بالقروض الغير ربوية الخ.. بل مشروعهم هو دعم النساء في معارضة حكوماتهم سياسياً و تشجيعهم في التصادم مع ثقافتهن ودينهن

    The older generation of my family never spoken ill of their past but, with nostalgia and pride, maybe it depends on which Arabian Gulf country when speaking of that past. And you speak of current generation's snobbery however, you should remember all of those expats' countries whether Arab or not treated the people of Arabia with disdain and turned their backs on them especially them "Arabs". With oil, we were rewarded for our patience. We did not beg others, we stayed steadfast on our faith, we did not migrate or revolt and seek to establish useless republics. We remained true to ourselves, hand in hand with our rulers, totally following our religious teachings to this day, and again, got rewarded but, do I condone snobbery, no but, you have to understand it comes from past memories of people that found a chance to treat us as inferior after we were superior in pre Islamic, Islamic and Caliphates' eras. Conquerers came from Arabia after all, somehow some did not like that so, when we hit rock bottom, it actually suited them and weirdly them "Arabs" more than anyone else. Plain and simple.

    Also what do u mean by merchant, ruling class as if they are different from what u called lower class?
    We lived in tribal societies where the Emir or Shaykh of the tribe is ruling his town.
    Read about westerners who visited Arabia, and how they described a town like Hail in norther Najid and praising how clean the streets and it is more Arab than Baghdad.
    And what is wrong with Mud houses!? We built a whole city and its walls and Palaces with Mud.

      Thank you for your commentary. First before I get into answering some of your points, let me start with a question, Why is the video getting such a reaction? Most of the elements you are corroborating in terms of the level of eduction, poverty and living conditions. The message is about is remembering and maintaining our humility, especially towards others less blessed than us. Nothing negative from any perspective can be taken from that message.
      As for my sources, yes I have read many books about European travellers, but what is more important are the first hand accounts from my great grand mother her children and the rest of my ancestors who lived this first version of life and the one that followed. No nothing at all is wrong with mud houses, on the contrary, I believe they were wonders of architectural innovation. As for the merchant class, you will discover that if you tour all the Arabian Peninsulas, in addition to the rulers of the cities/towns, there was merchant class who was the population actually doing the trading and enterprising.
      Yes the West also didn't necessarily have all their children in educational institutions but comparatively the Arabian children weren't all the enshrined in education, even up to the middle of the 20th century.
      Regardless, the content isn't about disrespecting our history and heritage, it's about recalling the good and the bad and not filtering what we want to associate with and what we dont. And as mentioned to be humble and respect the humble lives our ancestors lived through.

      You are surprised by our reaction!? Because you are disrespecting us, it feels like some American with a mediocre education wrote a script for you based on theories on what will happen if you give some bedouins a large amount of money.
      Look at 0:12 to 0:27 our behaviour changed to the people around us because we got rich!!
      A lot of people in Arabia used to move around to follow the rain for their animals, in the same time others settled down in towns for generations, if we were that poor as u said then why didn't we move out to Iraq and Syria? Why was this location of Najid kept having inhabitants?
      If it is about the message of maintaining humility specially towards others.
      Then why r u talking about us? Do you think we don't have humility? Or we are far more arrogant to those who are less fortunate!? What gave you that idea in the first place?
      And the big idea of "Shame" seriously who is the Saudi man u met and told you I'm ashamed of my parents or grandparents who worked in some jobs? I've never met a Saudi who feels ashamed about his parents or grandparents, on the contrary we feel proud about them.
      I know about a merchant class existing around the Arabian Gulf region, but we didn't have classes like in India who have certain privileges and u cannot change ur class.
      And kids in towns did have a certain level of basic education like learning Arabic religion and mathematics.
      That idea of "Shame came" is the biggest issue I have with this video.

      Totally agreed Dylan. We need to go even higher on the scale. For Arabs human capital needs to be understood as their biggest asset. Invest in them with the highest levels of education. Just to give you a comparison, education in places like Iraq Syria Lebanon and Palestine is higher than that of the Arabian Peninsula nations. Imagine that while we compare the GDPs of those two groupings.

    • @thekandarichronicles
      @thekandarichronicles  2 месяца назад

      Hear me out please. First when anyone relays observations, they are a generalisation. They have to be. That aside, there is never a statement that is made saying that our grandparents are ashamed of their lives. There are parts of it that they dont want to associate with anymore. They are human, it is a natural condition of living two lifestyles that are so extreme.
      With regard to the younger generations, yes there is a considerable section of society that does feel entitled. Superior to those who support us in our lives. People who have come to make a living in our nations only for them to be treated as significantly less than us. That is the message being expressed. No one is saying that the younger generation is not proud of their origin, but let us take the good and the harsh of that origin and remember to do better. We can do better. That's all. But if you think that such a large portion of our societies dont have this perception and superiority towards others, like other Arabs, Asians be them from the Indian Subcontinent or Southeast Asia then there is something amiss in your assessment.
      The message is simple, we have to be more humble and take our grandparents humble roots and projecting them onto ourselves and to our children. If you believe this to be wrong, then we differ way more than a disagreement on the content of a video.

    I love all my Muslim and Arab brothers, but people commenting hate towards gulf countries are funny and sad at the same time
    so many Arabs got brainwashed with the idea that gulf countries don't help Arab countries, I don't have the records 😂 but I've heard so many times in the news how my country (SAUDI ARABIA) donated or helped a neighboring country, and I bet the same thing happens with all other Arab countries we help each other, as a kid and as a grown up I still know that we all help or helped each other in soooo many times, and even when social media tries to get me to think another Arab country is bad or as they always say ( They were happy when x happened to us ) I assume its all fake because it is fake.
    Some weird comments here also talk about ( they should send money to neighboring countries ), and as much as gulf countries do it but is this a sustainable idea ? if other Arab countries were successful, gulf countries would've threw Trillions to them, but lets be real, giving this money to any other Arab country would be like burning it
    without mentioning that giving unconditional money is bound to create more corruption in the receiving country.
    so now what ?
    its all about the economy, all Arab countries should 100% learn from the best ( CHINA + USA ) as they say (إبدء من حيث انتهى الأخرون)
    because capitalism works 👍 and it does make the society more productive
    if every Arab worked on themselves and their countries economy life would be better
    so lets point less fingers towards other random countries, and point towards ourselves and be truthful to our laziness and backwardness and moneylessness 😂

    SAUDI and IRAN have to be the most nosy and annoying neighbors in here

      Definitely credit is due to Gulf nations for their benevolence towards other Arab and Muslim nations. But although extremely generous and sympathetic, that is a governmental and institutional kindness that has its own reasonings. And even then such generosity never seems to trickle down to the largest number of beneficiaries.
