    Can’t speak to the cause, but the west carved up the ottomans after the war for oil and some of that can be directly tied to the shit on the past 30 years

      The existence of Israel and possibly even Syria are both direct results of Britain and France fucking over the Hashemite. Oh also Faisal I also wanted to shitcan the Saudis so add Saudi Arabia to the list.

          Moreso pointing out that if Britain and France actually stuck to their deal and werent massive cunts Israel would not exist as it is now. There would’ve been no British Palestine to cause problems because the territory would’ve been under a local generally liberal government instead of a distant uncaring empire.
