Not a millenia old feud. A one-centure-GB-US-Iran engeneered old feud.
Heard a lot of shit Iran's supposed to be involved with in the region, but it's the first time I hear them being accused of having engineered the Israel -Palestine conflict. How do you figure that? I would've understood accusing France for their involvement in sykes-picot, or even the Turks since the Ottomans administered the region in early 20th century. But Iran started supporting the Palestinians after the 1979 revolution, before that the Shah very much supported Israel. So I have a hard time seeing how they could be blamed for engineering the conflict.
Haven't read a history book I take it, if you think the fight over Palestine is a new thing. I guess you've also never heard of the Crusades
lol right back atcha chief.
lol
You are aware that the region known as Palestine and the Arab people existed before 1948 right?
What side were the Jews on in the crusades?
