Not surprisingly, the whole Arab “coalition” ( Jordan, SA, Egypt, etc) against Iran, Houthis and Hezbollah comes down to the traditional Sunni/Shia struggle for dominance. Not talked about enough.
@LuisMorenolg Exception to the rule: Sunni Hamas aligned with Shi'a Iran and Hezbollah.
@LuisMorenolg So what's become of the Saudi-Iran rapproachment?
@LuisMorenolg I’d disagree slightly on that, something I’m loathe to do - the Arab/Persian rivalry predates Islam. In many cases, the development of Shia or Sunni identity reflects, rather than causes, tensions.
@LuisMorenolg I always find this personally amazing that differences are that great. Nearly a warlord mentality.
@LuisMorenolg Not talked about enough, especially by white-wing 'American First' evangelicals, but Muslims, Christians (even Catholics) and Jews all worship the same biblical god.
