Middle East and North Africa
Rules:
Rule 0. Comments must be on topic, off topic comments lead to immediate ban. Off topic comments are any comments that will lead to diverging from the post's topic. If you want to discuss something post about it.
Rule 1. No refutation without a source. Any bias against MENA sources could lead to a ban if not backed with evidence. The burden of proof is on you.
Rule 2. This community is first and foremost for people from the region. Foreigners trying to justify military intervention or genocide are not welcomed.
Breaking of these rules may result in a 500-3000 day ban.
One could argue that the US indirectly drove Europe to the far right.
Bully the world > some radicals with limited means decide to fight back in unorthodox ways > declare war on the radicals you nurtured > millions flee the wars you start and go to Europe > Europeans lose their mind and become increasingly racist and xenophobic
I guess the chain of dominoes could go further back...
-
Far right / Europe in general persecutes Jews
-
Jews develop Zionism
-
Western support for Israel antagonizes Arabs
-
9/11
-
War on Terror
-
mass migration to Europe and racial tension
-
resurgence of far right
(I suppose umpteen reasons for the Jews to have gotten persecuted in Europe, but the new testament calling them Christ killers properly bears a lot of blame)
(Then again, if the Romans had been a bit more reasonable taxing Judea in the first century and there wasn't a war and Israel had been there the last two millennia then maybe the above wouldn't have been so bad? Who knows)
