¿What the heck has happened and what is currently happening in the Middle East? (Chapter I)
As I said in my previous post. I won't write or say or give any opinion at all on the matter. I am only going to limit myself to sharing some historical facts and some additional information that you yourselves can easily find in textbooks and all over the internet so that you can draw your own conclusions. And to do this, I will try to make this post as short, educational, amusing and entertaining as possible considering that this post is only the Chapter One of the serious tour that I plan to give you.
Since I'm afraid that by chapter two of this series of articles, I suspect that the matter is going to become much more serious, complicated to understand and much less entertaining and fun with what I'm gonna share. Since here we will be talking about human beings and human lives that under no circumstances or excuses of any kind none of them should have been going through all of this.
Yeah, first of all it doesn't hurt to remember:
Before Israel, there was a British mandate, not a Palestinian state.
Before the British Mandate, there was the Ottoman Empire, not a Palestinian state.
Before the Ottoman Empire, there was the Islamic state of the Mamluks of Egypt, not a Palestinian state.
Before the Islamic state of the Mamluks of Egypt, there was the Arab-Kurdish Ayyubid Empire, not a Palestinian state.
Before the Ayyubid Empire, there was the Frankish and Christian Kingdom of Jerusalem, not a Palestinian state.
Before the Kingdom of Jerusalem, there was the Umayyad and Fatimid empire, not a Palestinian state.
Before the Umayyad and Fatimid empires, there was the Sassanids Empire, not a Palestinian state.
Before the Sassanid Empire, there was the Byzantine Empire, not a Palestinian state.
Before the Byzantine Empire, there was the Roman Empire, not a Palestinian state.
Before the Roman Empire, there was a Hasmonean state, not a Palestinian state.
Before the Hasmonean state, there was the Seleucid state, not a Palestinian state.
Before the Seleucid Empire, there was the empire of Alexander the Great, not a Palestinian state.
Before the empire of Alexander the Great, there was the Persian empire, not a Palestinian state.
Before the Persian Empire, there was the Babylonian Empire, not a Palestinian state.
Before the Babylonian Empire, there were the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah, not a Palestinian state.
Before the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah, there was the Kingdom of Israel, not a Palestinian state.
Before the kingdom of Israel, there was the theocracy of the twelve tribes of Israel, not a Palestinian state.
Before the theocracy of the twelve tribes of Israel, there was an agglomeration of independent Canaanite city-kingdoms, not a Palestinian state.
In reality, on this piece of land there has been everything EXCEPT A PALESTINIAN STATE.
