It all goes back to the Sykes-Picot Agreement. I blame the British and the French and the lines they drew after the Ottoman collapse

Though much American stupidity has ensued since

waartoe Palestina tot dan toe 'behoorde'. Ook wel
het Sykes Picot verdrag geheten.
Maar aan de andere kant had Engeland met de Rotchilds afgesproken dat de Zionistische Beweging zich in Palestina mochten vestigen.....toen begon de ellende echt tot en met de Verschroeide Aarde Oorlog van nu!

Justamente ellos que son el germen del problema con el acuerdo Sykes-Pícot y su colonialismo extremo.

El Museo Británico elimina la palabra “Palestina" de sus exposiciones sobre el antiguo Oriente Medio

La institución dice que la palabra utilizada en algunos mapas y etiquetas “ha perdido su neutralidad original”

La decisión llega tras la presión del grupo UK Lawyers for Israel 🧵⬇️

„Lawrence von Arabien“

Historisch zwar nicht vollständig korrekt, aber der Verrat der damaligen britischen Regierung an den arabischen Stämmen und das spätere Sykes-Picot-Abkommen sind u.a. Ursache des heutigen Pulverfasses im Nahen Osten …

I think maybe you have one-too-many I's in "WWII." Lawrence died in 1935. And that quote is very much a description of Versailles, Sykes-Picot and the League of Nations that doesn't really fit the UN and the Cold War.

In 1916, two diplomats with a map and colored pencils secretly drew arbitrary lines across the Middle East. 🗺️✏️

The Sykes-Picot Agreement ignored centuries of culture to create artificial borders, sparking over 100 years of conflict. Watch how a secret deal changed the world!

No one is saying there shouldn’t be amalgamation and simplification - just that it needs to be done on a basis that people recognise. And, indeed, there ARE larger regional identities than Chichester District Council, and we should use them, not Sykes-Picot lines which look sensible from London

official circles. The people may be surprised in the future with a new “Sykes- Picot Agreement’, other “Balfour Declaration” or even other “1967” and we have lessons in the history of ancestors. The treachery and collusion have been discovered since 1948 until now make us fear everything and doubt in everything especially that there are clear signs in the horizon. Unfortunately, the plotters, in Egypt and other Arab countries, will preach and promote to such visit and meetings as the savior of the region of its pests. They will ignore the recent and distance past experiences, depending on the weak Arabic memory. This matter should be warned in the light of Russian-US conflict on the dominance in Syria, Saudi-Iranian conflict on the dominance in Yemen, Sunni- Shiite conflict on the dominance in Iraq and Lebanon, and the Israeli presence in the region. All of these mentioned conflicts are made by the United States. Accordingly, should we depend on Donald ‘Trump or the new prince of believers (Caliph)?! Anyway, I want to remind you that ‘Trump said: “I will get the Gulf states, who are not doing much, believe me. The Gulf states have nothing but money. I’m going to get them to pay. We owe 19 trillion, we’re not paying for it. Don’t forget, without us, the Gulf states won’t exist.” HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_031739

◾️Irak gibi çok kimlikli ve parçalanmış bir ülkede, sistemin nasıl merkezileşeceği merak konusu. Uluslararası sistemin tanımladığı şeyin, halklar ve inançlar açısından soykırım olduğu açıktır.

| | The Crooked Course: Step by Step on the Path to Peace INTRODUCTION As Immanuel Kant observed, “out of the crooked timber of humanity no straight thing was ever made.” And the Middle East peace process is no exception. It runs a crooked course. This work provides a paper trail of the meandering and rocky path of the peace process. Relevant documents related to the Arab-Israeli conflict over the past century (since the Sykes—Picot Agreement of 1916) are compiled in this book. It provides an annotated and chronological overview of attempts to make peace in one of the most difficult and protracted conflicts in the world, and it includes a full set of accompanying maps specially made for this edition. The sheer volume of such a work raises the critical problem of how to present the documents in a way that facilitates their accessibility and understanding. A simple chronological ordering would miss important connections between the documents, which are thus better grouped by common theme. To this end, we have divided the volume into five thematic Parts. Part I compiles documents related to the formal peace agreements between Israel and the Palestinians, as well as those related to Israel’s unilateral disengagement from Gaza. The documents in Part II relate to the many informal peace proposals and ideas offered over the years that have served to contribute to more official processes at a later date. Part III compiles the many important United Nations documents specifically related to the question of Palestine. Part IV sets the Israeli-Palestinian issue in a broader context, providing regional papers going back a century, up to the latest documents. Finally, Part V compiles Israeli and Palestinian domestic documents relevant to the quest for peace in the Middle East. Grouping the documents by theme highlights the evolution of particular aspects of the conflict and the peace process over time. When examined as a group, these documents provide valuable insights on the
