Why are people in the middle east so violent and obsessed with revenge?

Question

I mean, shouldn't they be the most peaceful? Jesus was born and walked there and stuff.

Answer 1

it's in their DNA and it's as ancient as time itself....I don't know why we don't just stay out of it & let them kill each other & concentrate on our own problems which are MANY!

Answer 2

I suppose the easiest answer is a paraphrase of Bill Clinton, "because they can!" However, the more complicated answer is the conflict is fueled, with rhetoric and weapons, from a variety of sources including the United States. Some Israelis have adopted the Zionist "Greater Israel" concept which has resulted in widespread racism and discrimination against Arabs including Arab Israelis. The end result has been an escalation of violence by both sides and both sides engage in terrorism. How the conflict is resolved depends, in large measure, on how the US conducts its foreign policy in that part of the world. We are perceived, by Arabs and Muslims, as having a one-sided foreign policy in the Middle East. A good first step would be to make Jerusalem an international city.

Answer 3

Good question I have asked myself so many times. But it must be made clear that not all Arabs are like that. That angry, hateful mob we usually see in the media is not representative of all the people in the Middle East, although its numbers are definitely huge.

One thing that has to be kept in mind upon wondering about their fierceness is that all of the Middle East was oppressed by the West for centuries. Remember that the French and the British empires invaded these countries (all the way to India) and basically had them as colonies. However, that is not a DAMN excuse. Spain did the same, exact thing in the Americas, and along the way, wiped off many millennial cultures. And do you see Hispanics chanting and yelling "Death to Spain" for the genocide it is historically responsible for? On the other hand, it were the Arabs who bombed the hell out of Madrid. Had the Spaniards had the same @$$-tight mentality, they would have bombed some Arab nation in revenge of the centuries-long Moorish occupation of Spain.

So yes, their fierce, fanatical hatred should pi$$ off everyone, especially when they do things (like beheading a defenseless man) in the name of Allah.

Answer 4

that is an extremely violent and nasty organization posing because the authorities of Palestine. After 20 years of ethnic cleansing,in 1967 it invaded and ravished 3 neighboring international places and brutally annexed their maximum loved territories. In 1982 it invaded yet another us of a and destroyed that is infrastructure,wasted that is capital city and remained for 18 years of pain. It re-attacked this similar small us of a in 2006 from the air and lower back destroyed that is infrastructure. it really is at the moment pressuring the american behemoth to attack and ruin Iran. This politico-criminal entity has more suitable gore on that is claws than any authorities considering 1945. It should be uprooted after an similar vogue because the so-observed as 0.33 Reich. there isn't any position for fascism in our international. There should be no peace till that is organs were destroyed. it would not count no matter if a fascist "authorities" - what an oxymoron - is German or jewish; it makes no distinction even as they reason blood to move like an exploded dam and a rustic's homes to be smashed into airborne dirt and dirt. there is purely one destiny for fascism in a international longing for peace and that is utter destruction.

Answer 5

Arabs / Israeli, Muslim / Jew. Take away their hats and you can't tell them apart, because the only difference is the name they give God. They are not like us, they don' t love Jesus or believe in forgiveness or turning the other cheek. For them, Jesus was just another rabble rouser preacher who only merits mention because a lot of Americans are Christian and we buy the bullets Israel shoots at Arab kids.

Answer 6

The creation of Ishmael. In the Old Testament God told Abraham that the child he had with his wifes hand maid (Ishmael) would basically be the father of the countries in that area and that they would constantly be in conflict. I don't know of a time when there hasn't been conflict there.

Answer 7

People in the middle east are men and vengeful the same way that we are. They just don't hide behind hipocritical laws to do what they want to do
