    If a state has a majority Arab population then their ethnicity is the demographic winner and it’s an Arab state.

    Okay, but if its got a majority Persian population then its still an Arab state. And if its got a minority Alawite government its also still an Arab state. Turks, Egyptians, Libyans, Moroccans, Somalians… all Arab. Palestinians, Armenians, Albanians, and Indonesians are all Arab.

    They can only exist in tension and oppress each other.

    If they didn’t, who would we sell all our guns and bombs to?
