      The entire reason that there are Arabs in the Land of Israel is due to the Rashidun Caliphate declaring it their own on the basis of a single myth. It doesn't mean they have to leave, but it does absolutely mean that they need to realize the land they are on belongs intrinsically to another people.

    Jimmy Carter, one of the few presidents I actually liked. He was a great guy, but was President at the wrong time. He wasn't prepared to deal with the Washington DC.
    I also like Ronald Reagan as well too. He was an effective leader and had the right advisors to deal with DC.
    CARTER did really well after his Presidency. Great guy. Sad to hear Jimmy Carter is now in hospice care.

    • @arthas640
      @arthas640 Рік тому +5

      He's a good example of a great man but a poor politician. He was hated by may Democratic politicians of his time since there used to be liberal and conservative factions in both parties even though now a majority of Democrats are liberals and a majority of Republicans are conservative, and the liberal Democrat faction were mainly aligned with Kennedy. Kennedy wanted Carter to play the standard political games, which Carter generally wouldnt, and he opposed Carter since Carter was more conservative than Kennedy. A big reason why Reagan, originally more of a political outsider and dark horse, won over incumbent Carter (especially after the then recent Watergate scandal) was because the vote was split as the pro Kennedy and pro Carter factions bickered.
      I know it would never have happened but I always thought that the perfect presidential team would be if Reagan worked with Carter. Carter had a strong moral code and care a lot about the common man, arguably more so than any president since but he wouldnt play the political games necessary to make it in DC and his moral sometimes prevented him from doing the best course of action since sometimes you have to make cold rational decisions that are unethical. Reagan meanwhile could be TOO willing to play political games, people who knew him and his wife said they were progressive for the time when it came to gay people and had many gay friends (not surprising from a couple from Hollywood) but they were never publicly in favor of gay rights and let the AIDS crisis go on for too long unadressed since it was associated with gay men at the time. Reagan was however great at getting things done, he had more support from Democrats than most Republicans and was more popular with Democrat voters than most Republicans, he was also able to get even his enemies on board (just look at Iran-Contra). Carter would do well providing the "angel on the shoulder" for Reagan and work towards getting the economic success of the 80s to benefit the working class as well as the rich while Reagan could carry out the conflicts with the Soviets and other American enemies.

    The people of these countries do not need to have their tax money used for military purposes.
    Also, the wealthier Arab countries will be able to afford to send more aid other Arabs and
    Muslims in various countries, who are experiencing tough times due to the ongoing
    (10-year+ !!!) drought[1] and the fallout from various (imo: stupid) wars.
    _______________________________________________________________
    1.) The entire Mediterranean basin, the entire Middle East, the Sahel and the Horn of Africa
    have endured a food-destroying drought. Some areas of South Asia as well as areas of
    China and North America (Canada, Mexico, US) also are enduring an ongoing drought.
    Every few thousand years North America gets a devastating drought in what is called
    the Midwest of the USA (the drought extends into the Canadian plains and into most
    of northern Mexico) The drought cycle in California is due to the El-Nino/La-Nina cycles
    An earlier devastating drought destroyed the cultures of the Cliff Dwellers and the
    Mound Builder societies in USA as well as at least one pre-Aztec society in Mexico.
    I don't know much about drought cycles in other areas of the world. I do know that
    about 15,000 years ago the entire Sahara desert was a lush grassland much like
    the Sahel was before the most recent drought.

    As Israeli *and* history nerd I was actually not aware of some major points.
    * How much of the groundwork for the agreement was laid during the Rabin government.
    * The treaty was actually signed while we already were at war in lebanon. I wasn't clear about the chronology.
    * The whole issue of Palestinian autonomy and the pressure on Sadat to get some concessions on the Palestinian subject.
    The main problem with Israeli popular memory is that it's still too dominated by contemporary publicism and partisan neratives rather actual historiography.

      How is it that the US is to blame for Irans regime when the US has opposed the regime since day one, regime that is fundamentally opposed to the US from any perspective and who has fought the US on a few occasions and who the US tried to both keep from taking power and tried to remove from power? The regime remains in power largely thanks to their control of the Iranian oil/gas industry, their alliance with Russia, and their control of both the military and control over paramilitaries like Basij. The regime gained power thanks to popular support in the country and general opposition to the west and the US and that popular support remained fairly high since the country was and still is extremely conservative if not reactionary by western standards

      So since 1947 43,299 Jews and Palestineans died fighting.
      The Holocaust was committed between the beginning of 1942 to April 1945. So 3 years and 4 months which is 3*30+356*3=1158 days, 6,000,000/1158 days = 5181.

      Probably because it was a very minor incident in the grand scheme of things which didn't have any major geopolitical impact and the only people who pretend to care about it are disingenuous basement nazis who in any other situation would be cheering the deaths of American servicemen. Friendly fire incidents and cases of mistaken identity happen when you have fog of war, what happened with USS Liberty is regrettable but it isn't proof some nefarious Israeli plot against the US as basement nazis would have us believe. By that logic, the numerous incidents of USAF aircraft accidentally attacking British tanks means that the United States is secretly plotting to destroy England.

      I hope we can one day get some settlement that will work for both parties but honestly the Israelis have little choice in the matter. Palestinians have always been more closely aligned with Iran than the Jews and Arabs as a whole have treated Jews worse across the last 1400 years than the Jews have treated the Palestinians in the last 70. Not to mention the fact that the West Bank cuts right into the heart of Israel and holding it provides Israel with much needed geographical security making invasions more difficult, which for a tiny country with few geographical defenses surrounded by enemies who outnumber them roughly 40 to 1 is a sorely needed. It's also easy for many people in the modern day to forget that until recently much of the Muslim world simply didnt acknowledge that a Jewish state had any right to exist and that the Jews should remain a scattered people and second class citizens even in their own homeland.

Jews were murdered and dispaced from thier redency in Israel during the Arabs riouts in 1929 and between 1936 - 1939, among these places were Jews living in Gaza, Nabls and Hebron.

      Jews were less than 10% of the population in the late ottoman period and in the 30s/40s they got to around 40%. I Dont think this rise is population would've been destructive however it came paired with the popular idea of creating a Jewish state within palestine (which was obviously against the wishes of the majority Arab population) with the backing of the British colonial power. This is what caused the tension in palestine and all the atrocities you mentioned

      @@BartholomewConstantine Any resources to support that? Brits put limitations on Jewd migration to Israel from the begginnig of the 1930, most jews migrated vial sea which could be governd. No one put any limitations on Arab migration nor governd it. All Arab migrated via land.
      Bottom line if we go back to the point of 1937 the Phil committee Jews where 40% of the population and were whilling to compromise on 18% of the land. Arabs (leadership, st the time were by the Hudenies) were not whilling to compromise than (and also not now) more then that they wanted to forcly expelled the jews from Israel later on cooporated with Hitler and the Natzis. Pruve me wrong if you can, i will be happy to know more.

      @@brittennz if you go to Wikipedia and search palestine population by year you can see in 1890 the Jewish population was roughly 8% (this is estimated but its the best we have) and this is about 8 years after the start of the zionism movement. All the tensions between Jews and Arabs started post ww1 post balfour declaration where Jews were now perceived as a settler colonial people. Jews migrating to the middle east/ North Africa to escape intolerance in Europe is nothing new its happend many times however those time the sovereignty of the Muslim countries were secure. This time palestine was a British mandate and had no sovereignty so zionism was a legitimate threat to them. Even the Zionists themselves marketed the movement as colonisation with organisations like the Jewish colonisation association. Zionism aims to create a European style nation state in the middle east for Jews the same way the French have France. The issue is that 99% of France is French and in 1947 only 40% (at best, post migrations) of palestine was Jewish

      The spirit of zionism was for Jews to have a safe place away from European intolerance which was completely possible if mandatory palestine was covered into a secular state the same way the other countries divided in the sykes picot treaty were (except Jordan). The settler colonial element of zionism is the fundamental problem with it and is what caused the tensions and wars etc
