Fleeing is seen as dishonorable in many parts of the Arab world. Remember the Israeli lies about how Yahya Sinwar dressed in women's clothes and were trying to cross the border to Egypt? In reality he was out in the field with his men killing Israeli soldiers. He died a brave death and Khamenei will now have died one too.
- TulliusCicero 8mo agoLol what are you talking about, Arabs are great at guerilla warfare, and that involves a ton of fleeing.
- nailer 8mo agoIran isn’t an arab country.
- bjourne 8mo agoGreat, but that is nit-picking---I'm describing a cultural trait present in Iran which makes certain decisions seem irrational to Westerners.
- nailer 8mo agoI’m suggesting by referring to Iran as an Arab country, you have demonstrated you know very little about the Middle East.
- bjourne 8mo agoPerhaps you may want to address my argument instead of nit-picking on that I used "Arab world" instead of "Middle East"?

- nailer 8mo agoNo. The other poster already did a fine job about pointing out that Islamic terror groups typically use guerilla warfare which frequently involves fleeing, not wearing a uniform, hiding among civilians, etc.
- dotancohen 8mo agoI would like to hear more about the cultural traits that seem irrational to Westerners. For what it's worth, I agree with you about Sinwar dying while fighting.
- wqaatwt 8mo ago> Fleeing is seen as dishonorable Tell that to the soldiers in the famously almost universally ineffective militaries of almost all the countries in the Arab world.
