I’ve been fortunate enough to work for two international companies and travel internationally quite a few times in my life. I regularly keep in touch with people across Europe and specifically those in the Nordic countries today. I’m aware of the rest of the world is quite a bit different than United States.
I’m also aware there’s no place better than United States. There’s a reason why everybody looks to the United States for leadership. I get we fail sometimes, and certainly now, with the demented old corrupt president we have today, but nonetheless, we are at the top of the flag pole. That’s just the way it is.
And I’m in my early 60s and I’ve been following the news regularly for 50+ years so I’m not going to invest 40 minutes watching someone’s YouTube video. i’ve built up a knowledge base as best I can on the Middle East and I’m comfortable with it. I listen to plenty of other points of view which occasionally change my viewpoint, but there are certain fundamental foundations that I know to be 100% true.
I’ve have not been to the Middle East, but I have a good friend in Canada who works for my company who regularly travels to Israel (because our European branches were too chicken and afraid of the Arabs to do it so we manage it out of Canada ) to build our business there and has built deep friendships. I’ve met a few of those people when everyone came over to the states for a meeting.
The Arab states are run by a male dominated, religion-based version of the Mafia. Recently being referred to as Nazis, which I think is an accurate representation. There’s a great video you can watch, it’s a short one, not 40 minutes, that shows images of women in these Arab states in the 50s and early 60s wearing bikinis, walking in parks, holding jobs, driving cars, etc. Today they wear burkas, cover their head, and if her husband gets mad, they get beaten in public.
No one wants that type of living, except for the few men who are in power and young men who gather together and use that lifestyle as a way to bond with other men, because they don’t have anything else in their life.
Sure there are Arab countries that are slowly changing. If you’re a woman in Saudi Arabia, you can actually drive now, and maybe even become a doctor. But you’re never equal, you’re never actually free and don’t pretend otherwise. So yes, I hope Israel completely destroyed Hamas and actually occupies Gaza not this ridiculous current definition of occupation, but a real occupation. Liberate all those people. Over 10 or 20 years they could actually turn them into their own functioning society. Now, the Arab states don’t want that. They want to use them as pawns in their little game.
