Unimaginable that Jordan would participate in shooting down Iranian drones heading to Israel, against their own brothers. Despite the fact that the some drones utilized Jordan’s airspace to reach Israel. Without unity among Arab countries, Israel will continue to dominate the Middle East, especially with US military support.

Not really, geopolitics consideration and taking out one drone over their air space is not support for the Israelis and Zionists.

I stand corrected:

The Arab World consists of 22 countries in the Middle East and North Africa: Algeria, Bahrain, the Comoros Islands, Djibouti, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Mauritania, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. Iran and Turkey are not Arab countries and their primary languages are Farsi and Turkish respectively.

And each country has their own native language as well. North Africa for example has Berber

Arabic is melting pot language from that ancient part of the world.

Very interesting stuff, we need to learn about these cultures, which helps with our understanding when we interact with persons from various cultural backgrounds. In the Caribbean we are indoctrinated on English or European languages, cultures and history, while neglecting our cultures, which predisposes us to cultural bias.

Jordan is and has-been a US ally since their independence, nothing alarming about that; nothing to see here. They and Lebanon most of all would be impacted by any Israeli war expansion. They prefer to nib it in the bud and err on the side of Murca

Don’t blame your ignorance on indoctrination. Instead of posting uninformed nonsense (as you did in the opening post), go read a book. You would have learned that the Jordan is a US ally and routinely shares military intelligence with Israel. You would have also learned that Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait are also close US allies. These countries all share one great adversary with the US: Iran.

Well said.

Jordan is a special case. The Arab street holds Iran in high esteem. Only the despotic leaders in Saudi don't like them, but inside Saudi, the oppress masses adore them.

US has bases in Jordan; remember a few weeks back some US service members from Georgia were killed in an Iranian drone attack in Jordian? Jordian receives substantial budgetary aid from the US.
