No we are not lol the middle east has been fighting for... Most of world history at this point
This somehow sounds racist. Does world history mean after WW2? Also I'm more inclined to say "middle east has been under attack" instead of fighting.
On what planet is that racist? That geographical region has been unstable for most of world history. Zero further implication. I'm trying to not be an asshole about this, but accusing someone of being racist is a real dick move when even Wikipedia has to divide its pages on the topic into different eras.
"List of modern conflicts in the Middle East", wdym world history?
I'm not accusing you and I apologise if it looked like that, I'm just asking you directly. I see a lot of comments like "nuke middle east" from rw nutjobs idk why this reminded me of that. I apologise.
I guess it’s a bit of a lazy summary, because it sort of implies that the region has been fighting among itself just for reasons, rather than the region being conflict prone because of colonialist foreign policy. I wouldn’t say it’s racist though.
