But, of course, I don’t regard this as an absolute – the facts argue otherwise.<br /><br />“I was wondering in your opinion if the allies (Being Britain, France and the USA) had stay out of the Middle East after WW1 do you think it would be more, the same or less peaceful?”<br /><br />So, what is meant by “stay out of the Middle East”? To me, it is more than avoiding the colonialism and invasions: it also includes no weapons sales, no covert actions, etc. Peaceful trade, that’s about it.<br /><br />I think a couple of things: had the west stayed out of the Middle East, the conflicts in the Middle East would have been smaller and more local and less destructive; call these tribal feuds. There would be fewer terrorist attacks in the west.<br /><br />This would have to be coupled with a more appropriate structure regarding immigration – as long as there are state borders, there will be a state role in this matter.<br />bionic mosquitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002548958078731031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-42800396167715044302017-10-03T20:56:31.106-07:002017-10-03T20:56:31.106-07:00Hey bionic mosquito I been reading up on the Ottom...Hey bionic mosquito I been reading up on the Ottoman Empire and the invasions into Europe. I was wondering in your opinion if the allies (Being Britain, France and the USA) had stay out of the Middle East after WW1 do you think it would be more, the same or less peaceful? <br />And do you think that we would have less or more terrorist’s attacks?<br /><br />I know it is impossible to fully say and is only a guess.<br />I remember years ago some Libertarians (I wish I remember which ones, I think Stefan and Adam Koiseh were some) were going on about how terrorists attacks only happen on nations that were involved militarily in the Middle East and it would stop if we got out. This was for any country either having soldiers their or selling weapons in that region. This was back around 2008 to about 2014.<br /><br />Well Germany and Sweden have be the lest involved in the Middle East, while at the same time during the Syrian war (that is still going on) have offered many housed and gave welfare to many. And yet they have had some of the worst attacks. <br />JohnChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581478171873562100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-70711499571232736872017-09-29T07:47:16.956-07:002017-09-29T07:47:16.956-07:00I wonder if the following might not have something...I wonder if the following might not have something to do with the never-ending Middle East conflicts:<br /><br />By their own admission, today's Jews are not genetic Israelites but merely proselytes to the religion of Judaism (not to be confused with the religion of the Old Covenant Israelites).<br /><br />Consider carefully the following admissions, all of them quotations from recognized Jewish sources:<br /><br />"Strictly speaking, it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a 'Jew' or to call a contemporary Jew an 'Israelite' or a 'Hebrew.'” (Richard Siegel and Carl Rheins, eds., “Identity Crisis,” The Jewish Almanac, (New York, NY: Bantam Books, 1980) p. 3.)<br /><br />That sentence is the opening sentence of the First Chapter entitled "IDENTITY CRISIS" of the 1980 Jewish Almanac. That today's Jews are not genetic Israelites is also admitted in "The Jewish Encyclopedia," the "Enyclopedia Judaica," "The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia," "The Standard Jewish Encyclopedia," and by many of their historians.<br /><br />According to three Jewish encyclopedias and Flavius Josephus, the entire Edomite nation was forced into converting to Judaism and became known as Judahites at the time of the high priest John Hyrcanus (Maccabaeus):<br /><br />"…in the days of John Hyrcanus (end of the second century B.C.E.) … the Edomites became a section of the Jewish people." (“Edom,” Encyclopaedia Judaica (Jerusalem, Israel: Encyclopaedia Judaica Company, 1971) Volume 6, p. 378.)<br /><br />"They were then incorporated with the Jewish nation…." (“Edom, Idumea,” The Jewish Encyclopedia (New York & London: Funk and Wagnalls Company, 1904) Volume V, p. 41.)<br /><br />"…from then on they constituted a part of the Jewish people, Herod [King of Judea] being one of their descendants." (Cecil Roth and Geoffrey Wigoden, “Edom (Idumea),” The New Standard Jewish Encyclopedia (Garden City, NY: Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1977) p. 589.)<br /><br />"…they submitted to the use of circumcision, and the rest of the Jewish ways of living; at which time … they were hereafter no other than Jews." (Flavius Josephus, “The Antiquities of the Jews,” Josephus, (Grand Rapids, MI: Kregel Publications, 1960) Book XIII, Chapter IX, Verse 1, p. 279.)<br /><br />We keep hearing that if we don't bless the modern State of Israel (which America has been doing since at least 1948) that we will be cursed. However, it seems it's been just the opposite, Since 1948, you name it, and there's not an area in America wherein she hasn't become worse off. Could it because America's been identifying the wrong people as Israel.<br /><br />Today's Jews are not the only ones with an identity crisis.<br /><br />For more, see "The Mystery of the Gentiles: Where Are They and Where Are They Now?" at http://www.missiontoisrael.org/mystery-of-gentiles/index.php.Ted R.
