Politics, politics, politics (so long and thanks for all the fish)

This was the more thoughtful proposals based on ethnic grounds, before the British-French carve-up:

So you would wipe out the Azeri population then?

One of the under commented on reasons of the division of the Ottoman Empire is the securing of the oil in their former lands.

The Uk after securing a deal for oil with Persia/Iran which was akin to rape… tried to do the same with the Ottoman Empire in now northern Iraq but the ottomans already had a deal with Germany.

There is so many problems with this map, but you have no idea about the area that you are talking about i really don’t know where to start.

We can go one by one if you like.

1. The Azeri’s

A two state solution is a lovely dream. In the real world, a Palestine run by Israel/the US is the only workable one.

So a one state solution it is then.

Of course the Palestinians would have equal rights with the Jewish population, right?

Will never happen as long as Iran is puppeteering. I’ve seen videos of Arabs and mainly Palestinians that are genuinely thankful for living in Israel. Hamas has hijacked Palestine and their people are suffering for it. Israel keep saying to return the hostages and they will end the conflict. I don’t know what their intentions are, but Hamas cannot exist.

You can not be serious? Israel bombed Qatar to kill the people they are “trying to negotiate peace with… and release the hostages”

Again they created that mess. Tehran used to be called the Paris of the east until the Islamists took over. Now it’s gone backwards with its regime and laws (take a wild guess which one).

That country is oil rich and could be a world superpower if it was free and traded its assets and resources in the open market. The general public would live infinitely better under a democratic nation rather than what ever toss they have currently in place.

And why did the Islamists take over?

Do you even know a bit of history of the area?

Wasn't even true colonialism that resulted in Britain controlling Palestine. The Ottoman Empire attacked Russia and declared alignment with Germany and Austria-Hungary. The defeat of the central powers necessitated the invasion and occupation of their territories and the British ended up taking and holding Palestine as a military necessity not for the purpose of colonisation.

Nope, that’s a fundamental misunderstanding of what happened
