The hooded pullover is modeled after the Egyptian pullover worn during the 1973 war, and should be painted in sand-colored cloth. It does not appear to have been a waterproofed garment.
The squatting figure is in a common position for Asians. I don't know how they can stay in that position, but they can and do it all the time.

Arabic/Middle Eastern people are not Asian, they are Caucasian same as Europeans although they do not speak an Indo-European language. Jews and Arabs speak a semitic language. However, Iranians speak Farsi which is an Indo-European language.

Asian is not a race, it is a geographical origin, and can refer to anyone from that continent. Americans nearly always use the term to refer to East Asians, but in the UK, the term is almost always used in reference to people from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bangladesh, though they sometimes toss in Afghans, Arabs and Iranians, as well.
