Deafening Silence

Has anyone noticed that since Israel went into Iran and started bombing their installations ( now along with the US ) that neither Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Quatar, Saudi Arabia, or any other Arab countries are saying a word...while Israel is doing the dirty work for them. Everyone hates Iran...everyone fears them...but no one wants to stand up to them. Hypocritical assholes every one!

About the fact that 21 Arab and Muslim nations did indeed condemn Israel.

But it was only reported in Turkish and African outlets at a cursory glance.

21 Arab, Muslim nations condemn Israeli strikes on Iran, urge de-escalation
In joint statement led by Egypt, regional powers call for ceasefire, respect for sovereignty and nuclear disarmament ‘without selectivity’


https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/21-arab-muslim-nations-condemn-israeli-strikes-on-iran-urge-de-escalation/3601100

Signed by Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan, Iraq and others.

I wonder why it wasn't more widely reported?

Here is the statement. I could not find the full statement elsewhere:

4. Ever notice how the Russian press never reports how the entire world has condemned their attack of Ukraine?

If you are not seeing the news it is because someone is keeping you from it. In this case all 21 Arab countries have spoken on the issue yet you think they are remaining quiet, leaving the "dirty work" to Israel. Unbelievable.
