I don't really care to have any allies that are Arabs. I don't care for them because they're so sensitive. They're probably the most sensitive group of men ever. You say one thing they don't like, and they're wishing death and destruction upon your whole lineage, and all your children.
You say one thing they don't like, and it's death to your whole family, death to your kids, death to your grandkids, death to your culture, death to your mama, death to your father. Very sensitive. Just one thing they don't like, and your regime must fall. Your country must burn.
All I need is my brothers. I don't need nobody else. I got my brothers. That's all I need. I don't need no Arab rocking with me, riding with me. As soon as I say something he doesn't like or in a tone he doesn't like, everybody that I love has to die. Like, bro, I do not need these guys as allies. Never cared for their friendship. Never cared for them.
The European will acknowledge, of course; he'll lie about history. He'll try to distort the narrative, make himself seem like Superman, but he'll acknowledge the events that occurred. He'll try to twist the narrative and make it seem like he did you a favor, but he won't outright deny the conversation. Whereas when it comes to the Arabs, they just deny the conversation. Like, they don't even give you the respect of even having the conversation. They won't even acknowledge it.
