So as you know I am Palestinian ,I am from Nablus and I live there ,I have a friend from Gaza who I have known for a year before the war had started .
he was born and raised in Gaza and even lived in Gaza during the war for about 7 months before managing to go to Egypt ,I’ve asked my Friend if he’s okay with this and he has said yes and the mods have approved of my request as well
So come on ,you’re not gonna get this chance again
ask him anything
i want to apologize to him for us iranians being too weak to protect them. i wish we were a better run country so this could've never happened. all my support goes to him and his family may god protect them.
If you don't mind, I have a question to ask you.
Has sentiment between Iranian and Iraqi populations improved much, or at all, since 1989? I'm thinking about histories like this around the world.
i don't know about the iraqi side but in iran there is no negative sentiment towards iraqis because of the war.
now don't get me wrong there is negative sentiment because of general arabphobia and because of rumours that iraqis are buying out housing supplies in some cities like Mashhad but most of the hate was directed towards the ba'th party and Saddam which have since now been deposed.
i have heard nothing bad about iraqis from people that went on religious pilgrimage in iraq however i also think there's negative sentiment from iraqis to iranians more so because of the belief that Iran is controlling iraq and meddling in its politics rather than the war itself although i wouldn't know anything about that.
This gives me more reason to be optimistic about long-term effects and grudges from warfare. Thanks for that.
