During the Golden Age of Islam, between 900-1200 AD, other faiths were allowed autonomy so long as they paid their taxes to the Caliphate, but the Mongol Invasion during the 14th century traumatised their culture: the Sack of Baghdad in 1401 was a catastrophe that had drastic consequences in their outlook, turning inwards to protect the economic structure of the empire while curtailing research and expansion within the wider world. The early translations of Greek science and philosophy had brought about a renaissance for their society but when that exploration ended their religious leaders brought about a change towards a more rigid orthodoxy which tolerated no dissent from the centralised government.
The Ottoman Empire grew from the ashes of the Mongol Invasions but expanded West, taking Constantinople and nearly taking over Eastern Europe, although their religious Orthodoxy was subject to military rule, rather than the opposite perspective to the Eastern Moslems. Jews were tolerated for their economic acumen after Western Europe subjected them to severe restrictions and pogroms: in Spain, England, Germany, France, and Venice they were driven into ghettos or driven out into Islamic lands where they were allowed to settle so long as they paid their due to the ruling Islamic elite.
Modern Islam seems to be caught between the old traditions of religious subservience and looking out at the wider world which enjoys greater freedom: of speech, personal wealth and a higher standard of living. America hopes such sanctions brought to bear on Iran will break them but they forget they have powerful allies in Russia and China who will support their economy as much as Israel relies on American subsidies. So long as this conflict can be contained the region needn't collapse into anarchy but Israel must understand it will have to come to terms with its enemies in future or the cycle of perpetual conflict will endure.
That video is 80 minutes long so nobody, i think, will be prepared to watch it but this live podcast from 'The Take' covers similar ground:
I don't understand the mentality of Israeli troops happily committing atrocities and filming them for public consumption at home where they sing and dance in celebration of these acts. If the British Army had done anything like that in Iraq i'd be ashamed of them.
Did I say I think you consider that I am a scumbag ?? Don’t recall saying that ?
But hey ho u probably do ???? And Transam gives not a jot
Trump. Boris. Trans. Peas in a pod.
How come I get associated with Johnson and trump ????
The sanctions hit the general public often very hard and can make arming forces a lot more difficult. However some countries are getting better at sorting themselves out in that direction. Iran is an example. Ballistics that can change direction and a disputed modern nuc bomb delivery system. The disputed aspect could just be disbelief. Drones appear to be pretty simple for all.
During the cold war period US and Russia was the source of many countries weapons. A method of gaining influence. The US still does that, Russia - in Iran's case they appear to have provided them with air defences. Anything else - pass. Serious levels of finance - unlikely.
Please stop denying the atrocities that happened on Oct 7th
Murder, rape, torture were all used on that day and the hostages suffered it for months.
Hamas and Hezbollah are ruthless, violent terrorists, you are dishonestly trying to frame them as freedom fighters.
I know Israel is culpable of decades of oppression on Palestinians, but that’s no justification for the extreme violence of Oct 7th

The surprising thing is that Israel allows them to.
Generally troops are not allowed to. Read US and UK and I would suspect any western army.
All we may hear is comments from soldiers after the event and filming during the event that the military decide to release. Israel is doing that. it will always be positive for the releaser often contrived in Israel's case. No enemy around etc but looks good.
Peace eh, yeah Syria, Libya, Iran, Yemen, Afghanistan, Iraq, Rwanda, Sudan………they’ve all been living in peace haven’t they
You were looking in the mirror when you wrote this
True but conditions can lead to this sort of result. Conditions can mean that this sort of thing will happen at some point. Reactions do not get better as nothing achieved so they get worse.
