"This is how British double-dealing during WW1 ignited the conflict between Arabs and Jews in the Middle East. This is a story of intrigue among rival empires; of misguided strategies; and of how conflicting promises to Palestine and Israel created a legacy of bloodshed which determined the fate of the Middle East. Avi Shlaim, Professor of International Relations at Oxford University, calls it 'one of the best historical documentaries on the Middle East I have ever seen'." |
Thanks for sharing this Marina. Time passes and many people tend to forget what happened in the distant passed, and how this current mess came about. I'm actually surprised it took this long. Hopefully a few members here on GFY will be enlightened. If yes, you earned a some good karma points.
And while it's difficult, we must not become frustrated with any that choose to remain ignorant.
