      Worst part is that they bring in people who support the fighters by drug trade bringing instability to Bangladesh but people killed were the ones who didn't fight since the fighters escaped to the sea and even in Bangladesh(The south east side of Bangladesh is really lawless only reason was this)
      Edit:I also forgot Buddhists in Bangladesh are getting even worse treatments because of you know what I remember where a 2 villages were burned due to hate
      Edit 2:When they cam prices hiked 15% now it went to 30% you economy hardly give us a little security we just can't help them plus drug trade is getting worse day by day

      What’s his part? It’s well in the past, although not to belittle it; Simon had nothing to do with it. His part is providing an entraining spin on short glimpses of history for a living. Nothing past that. It’s a good story, he owes nothing.

    • @sleevemcdichael5841
      @sleevemcdichael5841 7 місяців тому +7

      This video as is typical with many of Simon's videos about controversial subjects just misses out inconvenient parts like the following:
      - The Rohingya Muslims fought a war with the Burmese government from the 1940's to the 1980's with the aim of ethnically cleansing Rakhine Province of Burmese Buddhists and taking the land for themselves then having the Bangladeshi Army annex it so i was no longer part of Myanmar.
      - The Rohingya failed in their aim so a ceasefire was put in place between them and the Burmese government in the 80's.
      - The Rohingya Muslims broke this ceasefire in the early 2000's when they started going into Buddhist villages in Rakhine Province and massacring people.
      - Rohingya Muslims also began marrying their men to the local Buddhist women. While doing this they would also murder couples where Buddhist men had married Rohingya Muslim women.
      I'm not saying any of this justifies the Myanmar Governments behavior as it doesn't. This situation is two groups trying to ethnically cleanse each other so they could control a piece of land, then the Western media acting like the losing side is innocent and did nothing wrong (because of their religion and a UN beef with Myanmar over 2004 aid money stolen by Myanmar Government and Military top brass after that typhoon in 2004). The moral of this story is never trust the Western media, UN (or Simon's videos anymore because he always pushes the establishment narrative whether it is true or not).

    It is wrong to say that Malaysia and Indonesia and Thailand are not willing to help. We did. In 2017, we took many of them in. The results? Crime rates increase, they open business selling local products which competes with local, in the apartment which I'm living in, a Rohingya man boosted of his business success (driving a luxurious car) before being detained for not paying taxes, you can often see red bearded Rohingya man with underage girls (holding hands) that is DEFINTIELY not their daughter or grand daughter, videos of Rohingya complaining that food provided is not enough, throwing rubbish into the rivers, using public spaces as toilet, etc. There are also protest or demand by this group to demand land or certain states or areas to be given to them, request for more rights the same as locals, etc. So you tell me - besides driving them away, what are we supposed to do?
    In Malaysia, due to our location as the Guardian of Strait of Melaka, and generally wealthier country, there are many refugess in this country, stretch from as far as I personally know from Iraq or Palestine. They assimilate and we welcome them. They do not compete with locals - selling Arab food or goods, pay their taxes, and we generally leave them alone. After Myanmar Civil War started, I personally know of at least TEN Myamnar Buddhist - living peacefully in Malaysia (without valid papers). They work in Food and Breverages, long hours up to 12 hours a day, get paid like any other regular migrants, but no locals attack them or go against them. We leave them alone, cos like us, they are here to make a living, and they do not demand for same rights as local.
    They know they are here to work, and leave in due time, whether back to Myanmar or marry a local, etc. But when you start making problems to the locals, and create bad and unhealthy culture (mostly underage 13-15 years old marriage), then we have problems.

      Sorry to hear that you and your close ones also suffer from the acts of Myanmar. It's easy to forget that responsible ones aren't the refugees - it's the people who they are fleeing and to some extent the government of the nation they fled to.
      This is one of the effects that is rarely discussed considering civil wars or other horrible events. Neighboring countries always take the biggest group of refugees, as people leaving don't have the means to go further, want to be in familiar cultural setting, they can't speak foreign languages so they stick together with others in the same position. Those people need to be spread over large area, and schooled to the local language, customs and such. It's brutal that the way to make refugees feel at home and make them productive to society is to break their only societal tie to whom they are and locate them not in one place, but in small groups over large areas. That way they are accepted as they aren't a threat to locals and they have better chance at making friends an getting work, at integrating. Integration is NOT the same as forgetting ones roots or customs.

    I remember this being a thing people were upset about in 2016. Everyone was upset about it for a week, and then everyone moved on to the next thing.

Most people do care, but can't care for very long because they, themselves, are struggling and to preoccupied with keeping their own heads above water.
    Fair enough.
    It's the people that make a show of caring that are rotten.

    but over years, all these countries slowly changed from being very supportive to outright hating these refugees, they are not adorable at all, they dont appreciate the help, cause civil disorder, and keep giving the local citizens of the host counties all the reasons in the world to despise them.

      A religion is a belief system that literally "links poeple" together. It is meant to provide a moral/ethic code and try to explain how we are what we are.
      If you step back most have the same basic principles, but we let the particularities forever separate us. Most religions preach treating others with some grace/respect you would give yourself/those close to you, but humans pick and choose what aspects they want to follow.
      What is more important are the core principles that are often twisted and unrecognizable. For example, I'm telling you the VAST majority of Christian churches, including the cult of Catholicism, having nothing to do with what is marked does as what Jesus said. For example, Jesus ssid it is basically impossible for a rich man to go into heaven. And yet, we worship $ and those who have it. Look at these televangelists. People are sheep and there are wolves

      @@ogolow570 That's not true at all. It has nothing to do with their genetics or appearance, it's to do with culture. Kaman Muslims look exactly like Rohingyas but with light brown skin but their culture is more similar to Bamar Buddhists and the language they speak (Arakanese) is closely related to Burmese. Tatmadaw of Myanmar believes in Burmanisation and so groups that are culturally unrelated to Bamar face persecution in hopes that they will become Burmanised. Hui are also closely related to Han Chinese in language and culture. Same thing in China, Sinicisation means that all groups culturally unrelated to Han face persecution in order to be Sinicised. China wants the Uyghur to be Sinicised and their practice of Islam must be compatible with Han Chinese culture just like Hui who practice a moderate form of Islam with significant Han Chinese influence in their culture.
      Rohingyas are Indo-Aryan mixed with Tibeto-Burman, Rohingyas don't all look the same. Some Rohingyas look more like the majority of Bamar Buddhists like Wai Wai Nu who is a pro-democracy activist of Rohingya descent. Also, Bamar Buddhists are diverse, some of them look remarkably closer to the majority of Rohingya like Major General Soe Naing Oo and Burmese actor, Hugo Naing. Same thing with Uyghurs, some Uyghurs look more similar to Han Chinese. It's do with culture rather than appearance, only some government officials in Myanmar have made unjust remarks about Rohingyas and called them anti-Muslim slurs but I would say that's the result of Rohingyas in the 1940s campaigning to become part of Pakistan, which is why the Rohingya Hindus and Christians are treated better than their Muslim counterparts. It also explains why in the past Kaman were xenophobic towards Rohingyas. Until 2021, many viewed Rohingya Muslims as traitors.

    I don't think Rohingya are native to Arakan state. The Rakhine people are native to Arakan. The Rohingya language is closely related to the Chittagonian language spoken in south eastern Bangladesh. That shows where the Rohingya came from originally.
    There were muslim communities in Arakan state in more older times but they were mainly traders and were small in numbers. The Rohingya try to claim that they are descended from those older small trading muslim communities but in actual fact, they are descended from much later immigrants from what was then British Bengal to British Burma. The British encouraged this types of mass movements of people throughout their empire.

    I’m Rakhine Ethnic Minority from Burma. I’m grateful to see us getting genuine attention from you.
    Some of the things are a bit off.
    1. Rakhine State always been Buddhist state even way before Islam reach south east Asia (look up Mauke Oo, capital of ancient Rakhine)
    We always had freedom of religion and some of locals Rohingya were converted to Islam not when foreigners were introduced to region.
    Needless to say Rohingya are always been minorities within minority Rakhine. I’m not proud of what Burmese & Some Rakhine have done on the Rohingya people but claiming the whole entire state as there own Muslim state is equivalent of getting a ticket and claiming you own the whole bus.
    2. I’m not surprised but the events in the history, you has been told by Rohingya as Rohingya centric. If you do a bit of research, you’ll figure out multiple ethnic from Myanmar had similar experiences only except they wouldn’t blame the whole state but their tribal villages.
    And British bringing Rohingya back to Burma is also incomplete, British bring half a million of Indians (sik, pancha,and various others ethnic) into Burma as farm hands. They had had fair share of scrutiny from the government because you know it’s Burmese government is the military. But the rest of society, except them as brothers and cousins. They’re not talking about taking over the land.
    I really hope this end up good for Rohingya because even the other South East Asian Muslim nations are no longer accepting them.

Maramagyi people in Myanmar speak a language that is classified as Indo-European and yet they are native to Myanmar and culturally related to majority Rakhine people. What does genetic testing prove?

      There seems to be a reason as to why they have been refugees for centuries.
      But there is a lot of misinformation going around so the best I can do is guess. So take all of it with a dead sea amount of salt.
      So.
      Apparently the Rohyngians never integrated wherever they went. Simon says they integrated into Burmees society, but that is disputed by many and many also cite this lack of even a willingness to integrate as the reason for their expulsion by the british.
      In later Myanmar they also apparently never wanted to integrate, refusing schooling and integration attempts preffering setting up their own government systems, schools, religious institutions and more. The claimed act which started this genocide is the burning down of Buddhist communities by the Rohyngian people as well as other atrocities. Apparently with the goal of forming their own state in the region, there are similar claims of them trying the same in Burma
      But again. There is a lot of contradicting information and outright false information going around so I honestly can not tell what is going on.
      After all the entire "self govern" style could be a consequence of treatment they received rather than an omnipresent goal.
      To me it seems likely that any presence of a justification (whatever that may entail) for a limited intervention was used to launch a massive persecution and elimination campaign.

      This video as is typical with many of Simon's videos about controversial subjects just misses out inconvenient parts like the following:
      - The Rohingya Muslims fought a war with the Burmese government from the 1940's to the 1980's with the aim of ethnically cleansing Rakhine Province of Burmese Buddhists and taking the land for themselves then having the Bangladeshi Army annex it so i was no longer part of Myanmar.
      - The Rohingya failed in their aim so a ceasefire was put in place between them and the Burmese government in the 80's.
      - The Rohingya Muslims broke this ceasefire in the early 2000's when they started going into Buddhist villages in Rakhine Province and massacring people.
      - Rohingya Muslims also began marrying their men to the local Buddhist women. While doing this they would also murder couples where Buddhist men had married Rohingya Muslim women.
      I'm not saying any of this justifies the Myanmar Governments behavior as it doesn't. This situation is two groups trying to ethnically cleanse each other so they could control a piece of land, then the Western media acting like the losing side is innocent and did nothing wrong (because of their religion and a UN beef with Myanmar over 2004 aid money stolen by Myanmar Government and Military top brass after that typhoon in 2004). The moral of this story is never trust the Western media, UN (or Simon's videos anymore because he always pushes the establishment narrative whether it is true or not).

    My father worked as a doctor without borders doctor in the city and camp in Bangladesh where the refugees have fled, he was the only fully trained MD for 10 million residents and over 1 million refugees, all of the rest of medical care was basically a well trained decision tree. Its incredibly sad and horrifying the problems that go untreated due to lack of aide, help, or focus on this catastrophe.

      This video as is typical with many of Simon's videos about controversial subjects just misses out inconvenient parts like the following:
      - The Rohingya Muslims fought a war with the Burmese government from the 1940's to the 1980's with the aim of ethnically cleansing Rakhine Province of Burmese Buddhists and taking the land for themselves then having the Bangladeshi Army annex it so i was no longer part of Myanmar.
      - The Rohingya failed in their aim so a ceasefire was put in place between them and the Burmese government in the 80's.
      - The Rohingya Muslims broke this ceasefire in the early 2000's when they started going into Buddhist villages in Rakhine Province and massacring people.
      - Rohingya Muslims also began marrying their men to the local Buddhist women. While doing this they would also murder couples where Buddhist men had married Rohingya Muslim women.
      I'm not saying any of this justifies the Myanmar Governments behavior as it doesn't. This situation is two groups trying to ethnically cleanse each other so they could control a piece of land, then the Western media acting like the losing side is innocent and did nothing wrong (because of their religion and a UN beef with Myanmar over 2004 aid money stolen by Myanmar Government and Military top brass after that typhoon in 2004). The moral of this story is never trust the Western media, UN (or Simon's videos anymore because he always pushes the establishment narrative whether it is true or not).

      Not an atheist but any religion can be used to commit atrocities when it is used as disguised political pych-ops. It happened to every religion and every nation in history. The fact is that religion plays a big part in forming national identities and maintaining societies but governments are never known to be ethical.

      And also the intent behind this was never about religion. The military junta brought in a lot of immigrants and gave them citizenship in exchange of votes in the 2015 election. They lost anyways, revoked their citizenship and commit a genocide trying to rectify their mistake. And during that time they used famous Monks in their pockets like Way Ya Thu and facebook to convince the population that there was a Islamic terrorists threat. They did this without consulting the than democratic government. Also they've been doing this to every other ethnics groups for years trying to create a state wide emergency situation so they re-established a military dictatorship without winning an election. The only reason the rohingya suffered a genocide is because they don't have a proper armed rebel forces like the others.

      It's got nothing to do with Buddhism. The genocide against Rohingyas and other forms of violence towards ethnic minorities in Myanmar is the result of Bamar nationalism that supports the idea that Myanmar belongs to the Bamar and everybody else must undergo Burmanisation. It's ethnonationalism and isn't related to religion because the Tatmadaw/Bamar nationalists also persecute ethnic minorities who practice Buddhism like Shan, Rakhine and Karen. They want everybody to practice Bamar culture and be culturally adjacent to the Bamar. Many ethnic minorities in Myanmar have faced Burmanisation for decades like the Mon and Karen.

    Bangladeshi here. The reason the government does the questionable stuff that it does with Rohinga people sometimes is because its been more then 5 years since the last biggest wave of refugees hit us and they are desperate to somehow find out a solution to them. We brought them in with open arms and still have sympathy but its waining. For a country that is considered "Third world" having 160M+ population in a tiny bit of area and then getting 1.8M foreign people as refugees who cannot contribute anything to the economy and is rather degrading security is just not sustainable. But we have still held on for some people find religious reasons to protect them, some find humanitarian reasons. Whatever the case the Junta in Myanmar doesn't wish them back and we don't see even a regine change solving this issue. Because of Corona and the war following after it the Economy has gone down hill as well. To put into perspective during our liberation war of 1971 one of the biggest reasons India considered joining and Joined our war against Pakistan was because of the 10M refugees that went from here to their land and it was a strain for them in the long term. Our current government is way too passive and fails to show proper force in Diplomacy. What I would say to this situation is that Myanmar take your people and take care of them or if your still adamant in refusing to recognize an entire Ethnicity then f**k off from the land they historically inhabited so we will integret it into our territory to return the Rohinga people to their homes and ACTUALLY give them a life to live with security and prosperity. Our government failes to do anything diplomatically and Myanmar is either too religiously blind,thic in the head with racial superiority or perhaps constantly on fire themselves to do anything about anything.

    It would have been nice to mention the part Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg had played to make things categorically worse with relation to this genocide.
    Theres a lovely Johnny Harris video about Facebook and Myanmar, anyone who wishes to learn more should definitely head over and watch that.
    Long story short, in many places across the developing world, internet access is mostly coming in for the first time in people's hands via cellphone devices. Once online, due to language barriers, people tend to stick to their own language, and this is dominated by Facebook.
    Facebook likes engagement, higher engagement means higher ad revenue.
    People generally stay engaged with stuff that angers them over stuff that doesnt. This made hateful content being shown with greater priority over normal stuff.
    Users werent just posting random bits of hate speech but were putting down live locations of Rohingya people, telling them where to attack and whom to expect in opposition.
    Facebook made a genocide more efficient and made tons of money from it.
    They were asked to stop promoting hate speech by the rohingya diaspora but Facebook didn't care.
    For anyone who thinks Zuckerberg is some genius billionaire, a left wing hero that just hates Trump supporters and the USA, no, he doesnt. He cares more about money. Until the US senate stepped in with regulations, he made money supporting a genocide.
