The Reality of Arab Sentiments towards Palestine
The perception that Arabs have given up on the Palestinian cause is misleading. Many Arabs are oppressed by their governments, which often do not reflect the people's sentiments regarding Palestine. Despite normalization agreements, public opinion remains largely in favor of supporting Palestine, with demonstrations erupting in many Arab nations, indicating strong grassroots support. The disparity between governmental relations with Israel and the people's views highlights a deep-seated commitment to the Palestinian cause among ordinary Arabs.
