Where to interact with Middle Easterners aside from on reddit
Can anyone recommend forums of any type where I can discuss politics in English with people from the Middle East?
I'm finding that when I post my research to American audiences, they're simply just not cynical enough about the Western clique and it's capabilities, to even look past the title. And I'm talking about leftist, anti-imperialist, pro-CCP type Americans.
I'm going to be searching for Russian and Chinese forums as well, but I think since the Middle East has been under literal attack for decades now, Syria since 2011, there'd likely be an extra level of cynicism towards the West from people in that region.
So any suggestions would be appreciated. Could be subs that fit the bill on reddit. But I have a feeling there are a lot of expats living in the West on some of these subs like r/Egypt. So any suggestions on forums outside of reddit would also be great.
Thanks

Doubts on Assad responsibility for use of sarin gas in Ghouta?
Hello everyone,
I am currently reading a book about the war in Syria. In a chapter about the use of sarin gas in Ghouta the author says that a chemical analysis of remnants of the gas in the biochemical laboratory in Porton Down, England, concluded that the gas was in fact sarin, but had a different chemical composition than the sarin previously used by the Assad regime.
The author also claims that several British agents doubted that the launchers, allegedly used to shoot the gas rockets, would not have been able to cover the indicated distance.
The author, however, does not indicate any sources on his claims and Google search also does not reveal any sources on the claims made by the author.
Is there any truth to his claims? Does anyone have somewhat reliable sources on this?

How does the Syrian government use military or international surveillance?
I know how the Syrian government doesn’t let the people have privacy and keeps track of everything the citizens do but that’s about it and I was also wondering how your government uses it’s surveillance on other countries if any of you know. Thank you!
