Before 1948 the internal political struggles in the middle east was perfectly normal comes-with-being-human kinda power struggles, I've recently seen B&W videos of the Palestinian exodus and the Jewish immigrations, one video was a Palestinian guy in a suit trying to explain how things "really are serious" and that the immigrations are a "start of something bigger and far more brutal since the militias showed up", I dunno exactly when that video is dated but it's extra footage that comes with The World At War documentary, it looked like a cry for help.
I see all this and laugh at the state of Arabs now, yes we deserve it, we were slackers then we were military soldiers then criers then victims then rebels then Guerrilla warfare soldiers (that's terrorists for Westerns), summing up the last 70 years of Arab affairs.
We deserve every bit of it, it sucks to be ashamed of Egypt but the more I read the more I see we had so many chances, so many fuckin chances wasted, some people tell me I'm too harsh on Egypt which never actually fought Israel, it was always America's might we went to war with so we never actually stood a chance, I believe that's the truth but I fight with admitting it cause I hate simply throwing blame away from where I stand.
Don't get me wrong, yay Israel from this end, may the smartest always win, dumb fucks and slackers deserve to perish.
