Eric Zimmerman 🇮🇱

Let me make something absolutely clear. I am not a Zionist - not in any way, shape, or form. I am an Arab. My roots are in Bahrain, I was born in Saudi Arabia, and I live in the UAE. My family spans generations across all three countries. On top of that, I am also a British citizen - a nationality I hold with honor, especially given my years working alongside UK security forces. It was a privilege, and an eye-opening chapter of my life. So no, I don’t carry any Zionist affiliation. But let me now ask the question I rarely hear answered honestly: Why should I support groups like Hamas, the PFLP, or other Palestinian factions that have long embraced terrorism - even when their targets have been us, the Gulf Arabs? Let’s look at reality: •Israel has never fired a single bullet at any GCC country — not at Saudi Arabia, not at Bahrain, not at Kuwait, not at the UAE, not even at Qatar or Oman. Not even a BB gun. •Meanwhile, Palestinian terrorist groups have assassinated our diplomats, hijacked our planes, bombed our embassies, and worked hand-in-hand with our enemies — even as we offered them political, financial, and moral support for decades. •And now? Hamas and its allies have fully aligned with the Ayatollahs of Iran, our true existential enemy - the same regime that has plotted coups in Bahrain, that has flooded the region with missiles and militias, and that has openly declared its intent to topple our governments and destroy our societies. Let’s remember - it wasn’t Israel that launched thousands of drones and ballistic missiles on Saudi Arabia and the UAE. It was Iran. Through the Houthis. With Hezbollah operatives. With Hamas blessings. And with Iranian weapons. So why should I betray my own people, my own security, my own dignity - to support a group that would see us fall, just to serve Tehran’s ambitions? No, I am not a Zionist. But the Zionists are NOT my enemy. My enemies are in Tehran, in Beirut, in Sana’a, and - yes - among those Palestinian factions who turned against the very hands that once fed them. This is not about being trendy or emotional. This is about loyalty, logic, and survival. In the thread below, I’ve listed decades’ worth of attacks Palestinian terrorists have carried out against the Gulf nations - despite all we gave them. Read it. And maybe then you’ll understand why many of us have stopped pretending.
