Proud isn’t even the word. This flag carries the confidence of a young nation that built greatness in just 53 years: unity, strength, ambition 🇦🇪 Fun fact: The UAE flag was designed in 1971 by a 19 year old Emirati student, Abdullah Al Maainah, chosen from over 1,000 submissions. Built by youth from day one. And guess what? Even with all the noise, hate and doubt, we’ll keep rising. Our success doesn’t need permission. Happy UAE Flag Day 🇦🇪

Arab doesn’t mean Muslim. It never has. We’re a region of Christians, Druze, Jews, Muslims, and more. United by culture, history, and language, not just religion. Stop erasing people. Arab is a civilization, not a sect.

Bondi Beach wasn’t random. It wasn’t about guns. It was ideology. When radical narratives linked to political Islam are tolerated, rebranded, and excused, someone eventually acts on them. My condolences to the victims. These attacks are evil.

The Middle East learned the hard way what political Islamist networks do to societies. The UAE isn’t obligated to subsidize that mistake abroad.

If you’re filming missiles and posting it, take a step back and think about what you’re actually sharing. This isn’t awareness, it can expose real time information like locations, timing, and direction. That creates unnecessary risk. In situations like this, responsibility matters. Rely on official sources. They provide accurate, verified information for a reason. Not everything needs to be posted. Some things are better left unshared.

The Italian ambassador speaking to Italians in the UAE. He says he’s staying here with his family because the UAE has the systems and infrastructure to defend the country. When even foreign diplomats say this publicly, it tells you a lot about the level of confidence in the UAE

Exactly. While others get loud, the UAE just gets things done. No drama. No noise. Just real progress. This tweet says it all and you can see it clearly in how we’re handling AI. Some countries turned to AI because they had no other choice. We’re using it because we choose to lead, not scramble to catch up. The UAE has always been a forward-thinking nation, and as I stated in my video, we invest in the future, ourselves, and the next generation.

If you govern yourself better than your neighbors, shouldn’t that count? Somaliland has done it for 30+ years and still ignored.

Middle East Eye doesn’t just have a bias problem, it has an antisemitism problem. When Jewish statehood is treated as illegitimate by default, when Israeli civilians are endlessly “contextualized” but Jewish self-defense is framed as criminal, that’s not journalism. That’s ideology. Middle East Eye operates like قناة الجزيرة’s younger British brother. Same worldview, same blind spots, same selective outrage, just repackaged for a Western audience.

Filmed this in Norway. A country that was once on of Europe’s poorest until oil in 1969. Norway and the UAE are proof: it’s not the oil, it’s what you do with it. Happy National Day 🇦🇪
