Yes, I agree with your first paragraph. The second paragraph I agree with less, as the Iraqis that I've talked to do in fact seem to see the Palestinian struggle as their own struggle as well. But I don't claim to really know Iraqi culture.
That’s because both Iraqis and Palestinians were occupied and brutalized by America and Israel respectively. so there is much to share. Just like South Africans commiserate with Palestinians or African-Americans about their experiences.
But that doesn’t mean Iraqis are going to fight a war for the Palestinians. They have their own problems to deal with.
Thank you.
