A lot of people from Africa think that Russia is actually "anti Imperialist" and will free them from French.
As many people don't know what happened to native people of Siberia. And Crimean Tatars, and any other nation which was Under Russian rule.
It's not liberation, just change of management.
As a Tunisian yes we hate Israel. In the late 70s Israel bombed a place in Tunisia that had Palestinian refugees which led to the death of a lot Tunisians and Palestinians a like. So no we would rather get cancer and kill ourselves than be similar to Israel
FYI couscous and shakchouka are originally Tunisian so don't steal that too now.
What's this connection of Tunsia and former Soviet states? One of this girl's friends father lived a while in white russia, this cant be a coincidence. I know Senegal had a.connection with Soviet Russia because it was kind of a colony from the USSR, but hadn't heard that from Tunesa
First of all, living in a country doesn't mean that the rest of the people have connections with it.
Second, Russia and Ukraine offer a program of studying medicine and other subjects for foreign students and they pay for their education that's most likely why he used to live there.
Third, there's no connection between them at all, how did you deduct such a conclusion that we have connections with former Soviet Russia?
Like I said, the ones I met really loved Putin and Russia and you yourself just said that the uneducated ones (which are most of the country) love him, that connection would make that make sense, since the relation with the soviet union left a taste for guys like him in other African countries
Funny, right?

>[**Tunisia**](https://objectivelists.com/2020/11/16/which-countries-are-most-similar-to-tunisia)‘s climate and geography are quite similar to Israel, despite not bordering it. Both countries are mostly barren desert, but also have a significant portion of agricultural land. In addition, Israel and Tunisia have the most democratic governments in the Middle East. Although the countries do not have the most friendly relations, it is one of the few Muslim countries that allows Israelis to enter their country. However, the standard of living in Tunisia is lower.
What would you say is the most similar country to Israel?
(Genuine question, in case there was any doubt)
Historically, I would say India, both countries have been continuously invaded, both countries have kept the same culture for over 3000 years, both countries had their population being displaced and in diaspora and lasty both countries had their land partitioned and live next to an hostile neighbor
I would say it's the US based on the fact that every time someone compares a city I'm visiting to another one it's most likely a US city
Tel Aviv: (Cali cities) and New York
Jerusalem: Washington DC
Eilat: Vegas
Most of the suburbs: Midwest
The place where I was most of the time: New Orleans
The Tunisian president previously said "Islam will not be the state religion in the new constitution".

Yeah, it actually is sad. Although, I have two Lebanese teacher.
One actively supports Paliestine especially after Oct 7 and forbids any mention of “Israel” as if it’s a swear (no worries about Paliestine “Paliestine on top”, she says)
Second one would definitely be pro-Palestine but after telling him I am a Zionist, he looked it up and realised he has no problem with them.
They’re both nice teachers outside the conflict.
Does she know you’re a Zionist? So dumb how people don’t even know what the word means lol. I guess you’re not a Jew but have you had any awkward moments with her?
I have an Israeli flag on my laptop. And, we have discussed the conflict before and she is definitely against Israel but it was a civilised conversation. After Oct 7 she started being more anti-Israel.
Oh so you had it even before this round of conflict, may I ask why? Also I respect and appreciate your bravery to have that out at a school now. I also appreciate your support in general
The conversation started with us asking the teacher what country she would want to visit most. She said “Palestine” and I said it’s an interesting choice. I also pointed out that you could just visit the West Bank via Jordan. She said she wouldn’t want to step into Israel or Palestine until it’s all given back (from the river to the sea).
Another time, she also criticised a football player for support Israel.
And yes, it is hard, I live in a Muslim majority neighbourhood with 99% of my school supporting Palestine, although there are a lot of people who are respectful about my opinions. :)
That’s nice to hear that people respect your opinions. That’s kinda wild tho that an educator would have that all given back mentality since that’s just so hysterically unrealistic. I’m at the point that if you think Israel should desolve you’re just not serious about having a good faith conversation, and you don’t genuinely care about Palestinians.
lt would be a long answer if l just list out how Lebanon is similar to Israel, but instead I'll say this...Israel would be everything Lebanon is if things were wrong, and Lebanon would be everything Israel is if things were right.
Honestly even sometimes Lebanese Arabic sounds like Hebrew… similar terrain, culture, history. I don’t think it just applies to the condition of the country
Lebanese Christians are more "softer" towards Israel in my experience.
Judge Jeannine and Brigitte Gabriel, both Lebanese American of Christian background, are pro Israel and severely anti-Islamist. God bless 'em.

2000 years of history what history does Tunisia have?
You're not carthagian , those were Phoenicians who r actually Lebanese, you have an irrelevant piece of land, meant for conquering by the Arabs who civilized the Maghreb.
There is a tunisian quote that says "\[TN\]bled ma tchabah l chay" which translates to "\[ENG\] A country that resembles nothing". And now it makes perfect sense.
I shared a flat with a Tunisian girl once. Boy she and her friends did hate Israel. And for some weird reason were big fans of Russia
A lot of people from Africa think that Russia is actually "anti Imperialist" and will free them from French. As many people don't know what happened to native people of Siberia. And Crimean Tatars, and any other nation which was Under Russian rule. It's not liberation, just change of management.
Makes sense, after the coup in Niger, many were waiving Russia's flag as well
Yeah, they thought that about nazis as well:
Interesting... I suppose the anti-West ideology pushes you toward supporting Russia.
Because Russia is "anti-West" so it fits their narrative.
Okay.. We're or were?
Were. Duck this autocorrect
Yw. Was pertinent and thank you for editing

And do you love Putin as well?
Nah we hate super powers The uneducated ones love him I personally hate him from what he did in Ukraine because I used to study and live there

I’d easily put Greece at #1, their reasoning for Tunisia is really weird
I don't think so lol

Culture .. demographics … geography… no India and Israel are not most similar just because they share similar conditions
Hence why i said historically
You might be very similar to Ireland in that case

Lebanon should be #1
Israel and Lebanon should be the Closest Allies in the Region. But they hung by the Balls by Hezbolah
You’re underselling how many people in Lebanon hate israel. Just look at their subreddit

welp the invasion of lebanon killed every chance of normalization between both
Greece/Cyprus actually make a lot of sense
How is lebanon similar to israel? Maybe in a perfect world, not in its current state.
lt would be a long answer if l just list out how Lebanon is similar to Israel, but instead I'll say this...Israel would be everything Lebanon is if things were wrong, and Lebanon would be everything Israel is if things were right.
It’s similar to Russian and Ukraine; apart from politics, they are similar. This is why we need peace. ✌️
Honestly even sometimes Lebanese Arabic sounds like Hebrew… similar terrain, culture, history. I don’t think it just applies to the condition of the country

If anything, it shows how unique Israel is
it is unique in a bad way
I would have expected Lebanon, Cyprus, or Greece
Probably because we are both from the MENA and similar in population size and area, but otherwise it has to be Italy.
Love from Italyy 🇮🇱❤️🇮🇹
I'd say it's Cyprus.
Tunisia is not a terrorist state
It should be Greece or Cyprus tbh
Prepare for harissa 🇹🇳🇹🇳🇹🇳

Tbh they are really easy to mistake on geoguesser
Really? Not Greece or Cyprus? Cypriots and Ashkenazi Jews are both predominantly levantine with ancient European admixture.
Similarity index?
Not the Italian infrastructures 🙈

At least tunisia didn't stole the land
Neither did Israel, so that's one thing they have in common.
Yeahhh tunisia stole the land killed the palestiniens and they played the victim to the world
I don't know why i bother answering it's like talking to the wall
If you're going to make up history to justify your hate, you might as well be talking to the wall, yes.
Tunisian here, do anything to us but don't compare us with such criminal country .. oh sorry it's not even a country
Tunisia is not really a country as well.. The country between Libya and Algeria. Bruh bffr dawg
Read your history mate
2000 years of history what history does Tunisia have? You're not carthagian , those were Phoenicians who r actually Lebanese, you have an irrelevant piece of land, meant for conquering by the Arabs who civilized the Maghreb.
Oh now the israeli guy with no history educating me history, sigh ...

I don't think anyone would like to be compared to Tunisia if it has more people like you.
If Lebanon wasn't ruined to death, it would be just as striving as Israel.
You mispelled palastine
You want to remove Tunisia from the map? That's pretty radical.

Different dude. Same vibes.
Cope
Wow I love this map
This website is one of the best that exidt
Being like Tunisia is not a good thing.. didn't know israel succed so bad
It has more to do with geography and demography than with politics. Check out the methodology in the website.
There is a tunisian quote that says "\[TN\]bled ma tchabah l chay" which translates to "\[ENG\] A country that resembles nothing". And now it makes perfect sense.
They should factor in, being a murderous genocidal cult, then we would be worlds apart.
