They subscribe to a suffocating religion and politically they blindly follow corrupt, fanatical war lords who lead them to destruction.
Marlboro-smoking, unemployed, homeless men of working age mostly sit around all day in coffeehouses, surveying the wreckage around them and whining about their leaders and the evil western democracies. Cause and effect never crosses their minds.
Their solution to escape their crumbled world is apparently still more militancy and even civil war. They still hope to wipe Israel off the map. They expect the outside world to pay for the reconstruction of their infrastructure and lives. They wouldn't dream of grasping their own reins and cultivating the idea of a work ethic among themselves.
The idea of getting off their fat cans and actually performing physical labor to rebuild their shattered communities is alien. Let their women slaves and the rich U.S.A. take care of their future. They would rather be holy warriors, martyrs or incessant political chatterers.
They are bitter, unambitious, blind herd animals who follow false leaders and a false religion and then bleat incessantly about the consequences as they sit passively for hours amidst the wreckage surrounding their outdoor cafes.
Two more goat creams and pass the sugar, please.
