I was on my way back from eating at my teacher’s house when one of the administrators of the Arabic school I attend started to tell me how Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait was actually caused by “powerful nations” in order to have an excuse to invade the middle east. I cut him off with some directions to where I wanted to get out.
I didn’t need to hear what he had to say, it was the same ridiculous crap I eventually hear every time I try to talk with one of these guys. The United States, Britain, and of course Israel (the Zionist state) are behind all of the problems in this part of the world. Why are people unable to admit that they have some wakos running things over here? When will they stop blaming colonialism, Jews, and the entire Christian world for the misery that all of these countries are going through? Yes, Israel is causing suffering among the Palestinians (whether it is justified is another debate) and yes, during the crusades, the Christians did a lot of terrible things. When are they going to finally say, “Even if all of those things have hurt us, WE need to do something now!” When will they take responsibility for how the countries over here are run?
Why would I want to talk to someone when I know I will get this thrown in my face?
