Peace or Fake News?

Fair enough BT, just another Lefty who has no idea what he's talking about, at least you have the decency to admit it, good man.

Seek and ye shall find sinkov. The Arabs and the Jews have one thing in common they both hate multilaterally; one lot the infidels and the other lot the goyims...

So where does Iran fit into all this, they're not Arabs, Iran is not one of the 22 states in the Arab League. It's never so simple as you virtue-signalling lefties make it out to be.

Bloody hell sinkov you are dead right it's not simple. Get your gnashers around this: the Arab conquests of the seventh century spread the Arabic language and civilization from North Africa to central Asia. Under the Islamic caliphate, Arabic became the language of scripture, government, law, literature, and science. Majority Arabic-speaking countries remain in southwest Asia, Egypt, and North Africa. The Arab League includes Algeria, Bahrain, Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, the Palestine Liberation Organization, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen.

Note the absent country: Iran. Alone among the Middle Eastern peoples conquered by the Arabs, the Iranians did not lose their language or their identity. Ethnic Persians make up 60 percent of modern Iran, and modern Persian is the official language. (Persian also has official status in Afghanistan, where Dari, or Afghan Persian, is one of two official languages.) In addition, the majority of Iranians are Shiite Muslims while most Arabs are Sunni Muslims. So Iran fails most of the four-part test of language, ancestry, religion, and culture. And just to confuse further, 2% of Iranians are Arabs amounting to about 1.8 million people.

Makes Clitheroe look positively Anglo-Saxon!

Come on then BT, it's fine offereing all these facts etc., however, what are you and your mates doing about it? You need a Meerkat solution!

Our "leftie" solution is to leave them alone and not bomb the phuck out of them!

"the Arab conquests of the seventh century spread the Arabic language and civilization from North Africa to central Asia. Under the Islamic caliphate, Arabic became the language of scripture, government, law, literature, and science."

Bloody hell BT, they did better than that, they were all over Spain and got as far north as Tours before they were defeated in 732. If they'd have won that they'd have only been a couple of days march from the English Channel. It's not stopping them now, it might not have stopped them then, we had a lucky escape.

https://www.independent.co.uk/voices...-a9674266.html by Ahmed Aboudouh, but ......

Ahmed Aboudouh is a consultant editor at The Independent. He specialises in Middle East affairs. Apparently he doesn’t believe that Jerusalem should be the Israeli capital. (so this guy is a specialist? Fact is Fact!).

In an opinion piece, that’s his right even though, de facto, Jerusalem is the capital. He does not, however, have the right to unilaterally declare Tel Aviv to be the capital and nor should he be falsely attributing this error.

(A precedent was set in the UK media as far back as 2012 when HonestReporting took on The Guardian, eventually forcing it to change its style guide and the now-defunct Press Complaints Commission to rule in our favour – that Tel Aviv is not the Israeli capital.)

HonestReporting contacted editors at The Independent and they agreed. While they still can’t bring themselves to recognise the reality of Jerusalem as the capital, the inference to Tel Aviv has been removed.

As far back as the 1990s, the UAE has sought relations with Israel, and Israel and the UAE have shared military intelligence for decades. According to an extensive 2018, newspaper account, the country appreciated Israeli defense technology and has seen a shared threat in Iran, which the UAE and other Gulf states oppose in part due to the Muslim Sunni-Shia divide.
The UAE is the Leader in Arab World on the war against Muslim Brotherhood, so that M B does not take control over other countries.
Israel continually wanted peace with the Palestinians, Arab states began seeking an accommodation with the Jewish state — as long as the Palestinian issue was solved.
Arab states have their wealth from oil. But now there is a threat from Iran,if they fail to defend themselves ? Step in “companies that deal with cyber technology, both defensive and otherwise, who sell technological solutions to governments or private companies, and also, together with other partners, Step in the major Israeli defense industries''.

In 2012, Israel launched a multi-million dollar agricultural project with a company from Abu Dhabi that dealt with the integration of advanced technology in organic and conventional farming.Israel didn’t want to deal with defense matters, so they started in agriculture, there was a need, there was an available solution, there were partners. “The agricultural project lasted seven years and arose out of the UAE’s worldview on the issue of food security. A decade ago they were already looking into how to reduce dependence on imports of agricultural consumer goods from abroad. They sought countries with knowledge in desert agriculture. Israel could help with extensive knowledge in a range of fields, such as irrigation, water treatment, and high-temperature pond fish farming.

The agreement is excellent in that it makes everything public.

How Israelis secretly helped build up the UAE’s military capabilities.

Israeli companies, took part in the Gulf State's biggest defence projects all while keeping an extremely low profile. High salaries, special flights on private jets, alongside a demand for strict confidentiality.Other Israeli companies that made handsome profits from doing business with Dubai, in cyber security, companies accumulated $8 billion worth of contracts for the sale of observation intelligence planes, a coastal protection system, and a land-border defence network. The company also built a national command and control network. It is believed that the network of CCTV cameras that aided the Dubai police to hunt for the people behind the 2010 assassination of Hamas military chief Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh,was built by Israelis.
Lots of money flowed into the projects and even relatively junior managers pulled in salaries of $200,000 a year.
At the start of every week, 50 Israelis would take off to a third country in the region and from there, without stamping their passports, would board private executive jets to take them to Dubai. They would do the same route back on the weekend. “The company’s motto at the time was ‘money is not a problem,’” said a former Logic employee.
