Understanding the Middle East Mind Sets

The Middle East people don’t necessarily think like Westerners and understanding the differences is useful in understanding what is happening and the likely future of the Middle East. Non better to explain than Dr. Mordechai Kedar, a combination of West and Middle East.

FIDF LIVE Briefing: Lt. Col. Dr. Mordechai Kedar, Vice President of NEWSRAEL - June 26, 2025

FIDF CEO Steven Weil is joined by Lt. Col. (Res.) Dr. Mordechai Kedar, Israeli Scholar of Arab Culture, Lecturer at Bar-Ilan University, and Vice President of NEWSRAEL, who provides an expert analysis on the recent 12-day conflict between Israel and Iran. Mordechai discusses how the conflict has weakened the Iranian regime and emboldened opposition groups within Iran, who are now more active in trying to undermine the regime. He also highlights the growing rift between Hezbollah and how this is shaping dynamics in the region. Steve and Mordechai then discuss how the weakening of Iran has created opportunities for Gulf states to put pressure on Iranian ally Qatar to change its behavior in supporting Iran’s regional proxies.

Many of them do not think like each other. Never mind anyone else. LOL

Makes holding elections difficult.

Americans see in the news Israel but the wars are not in balance with Israel.

The US does not understand other regions mindset or cultures. Which is why US regime changes/interventions usually fail.

It’s that Exceptionally Shiny mindset. The US tries to recreate everyone in their own image, because, after all, we are so much better than everyone else. Ever read “White Man’s Burden”?

I appreciated the reference to Zoroastrianism.

If the next regime practices Zoroastrianism, perhaps there would be less stress?

ralph knows very little about Zoroastrianism.
