Why the Middle East’s Borders Guarantee Forever Wars
YT ^ | June 18, 2023 | Real Life Lore

Posted on 11/13/2023 9:59:34 AM PST by Robert DeLong

A very worth while watch of 37:21 minutes of the dynamics that have played out in the Middle East since the 1880s on until the beginnings of ISIS.


TOPICS: Chit/Chat; Education; History
KEYWORDS: borders; east; middle; war
Anyway, I thought it was relevant to the world today to understand the full issue of the region and why solutions are very hard to come by.

Why the Middle East’s Borders Guarantee Forever Wars

Thanks. But the real reason is the hatred of the Jews for many concocted reasons going back before Mohammad created his socio-religious sect.

People in that part of the world want Jews and Israel exterminated, regardless of the fact that it has been the Jewish homeland for 3,000 years.

Without watching it my guess is a summary would be, “outsiders imposing borders without consideration of those that live there”

Though a few second dive into the video makes it seem like it is something worth watching.

I do believe that’s a good thing as long as long as the wars are between muslims. Would an independent Kurdistan fuel the fire? Think-4 nations with a Kurdish population. Plenty of oil.

Too late.

Really? Then am I to assume you are completely in agreeance with the invasion of our borders, especially our southern border?

Perhaps if you watched the video you would get a better grasp of the real story. For one thing you ignore even the divisions within the Muslim world, let alone the Arab world.

Palestinians are without a nation, as they have always been. Arab nations do not want them, and there never was a Palestine either.

You really should watch the video.

As historian Samuel P. Huntington has said, “Islam has bloody borders.”

Yes, Muslims only view borders as temporary inconveniences.

It is not geography that continues wars. It is ideology and as long as there is the concept of restrained war, then we will continue to have wars.

I won’t disagree with you totally, but if you watch the video you will understand the title better.

Are you suggesting he actually become ... dare I say it ... informed before posting? Why, that would be a direct violation of the FR Rules of Engagement!

If it weren't for the threadbare attempts at humor (that weren't funny even when they were fresh) and the non sequitur replies from Freepers who obviously neglected to read the body of the post, forum traffic would be off 75%. Heaven forbid the content should be reduced to actual meaningful information.

Even I admit guilt to that behavior, far more often than care to admit with actual numbers, mainly because I couldn't begin to pick the right number anyway. 🤣

Sometimes we think we know more than we really do, because we tend to summarize what we know, omitting details we have either forgotten, or more likely, never knew to begin with.

In Fact I received this from a friend, and I was about to blow it off myself, bur decided what the heck, I'll give it a watch for as long as I can stay with it.

Thus, I actually understand completely from whence they are coming from. 🙂
