England messed up the middle east.
They pitted both the Arabs & the Jews against each other in the late 1920's 1930, early 1940s.

But it still impacts the contemporary situation. I suggest interested parties read a book called A Peace to End All Peace, which details how the map of the ME was redrawn after WW1. The effects of those pens are still with us today in places like Turkey, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria, Iran and Iraq...

Yeah but that was ages ago.
The entire middle east still suffers from it.
Do you know also their dirty hands in Egypt?
