The Saudi, UAE and (to a lesser extent) Egyptian (edit: governments) are all for whatever Israel does. It’s more complicated in other countries because the people are against it but the government isn’t, so you have to be against Israel just enough to please the people but not too much that you displease the government ❤️

What did you mean by the bolded section if not "it's not complicated in Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Egypt because the people and the government support it"? I don't mean to be confrontational here, but I don't see how else that sentence can be interpreted.

Other countries the people are against the genocide but the governments aren’t really (some may at least “condemn” Israel for their public image)

But are the people in favor of the genocide in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Egypt?

Mostly no, but you’d be surprised how many are okay with it in Saudi and the UAE
Happens because they’re nationalists, support whatever the government does
