Context (for those who don't know): Israel and Palestine
It worked so well when they did the same thing for themselves and Ireland.

Also that whole India/Pakistan thing. And I seem to remember some stuff happening in Africa.
The secret ingredient is running the fuck away before either of them notice.

It always works out fine for them. I don't know why anybody says imperialism or colonialism are bad or destructive, seems to me that Britain and France and Spain and Portugal and the Dutch are all doing fine. Really weird how maps of their empires seem to overlap a lot with parts of the world that currently or recently experienced a lot of, idk let's call it "troubles?" They must be dumb or smth
Well, since those former colonies can't quite work it out on their own, maybe they should just be brought back into their respective empires again? 🤔
They even had a nice little name for it, The ~~Troubles~~ Fun Times!

Britain has planted the seeds of hatred and bloodshed in the middle east and is now acting as if it has no responsibility towards resolving the conflict.
It is hard to watch the British media coverage of this war acting all outraged and surprised by the violence while being proud of their historical imperial inheritance .
Britain and France are responsible for such an enormous fuck up in Asia, Africa and the middle east, past and present, it's probably impossible to put it in numbers. The US gets bashed a lot (deservedly), but I think those two were planting something way more devastating for generations to come
One group was actually living there and the other group moved in and literally ripped people from their homes.

Also Britain: Oh good, the UN voted in favor of splitting up the land except the entire Arab League voting against the plan? Ok, sounds good, bye guys, have fun!
It's like an HOA: The council is deciding how to divide up your backyard between your neighbors. The lawn owner is the only dissenting vote and then the neighborhood wonders why they are being so hostile.
Except in this case it costs you not just your backyard but basically your entire life.

Looks like there's a war
It's working as intended, the whole Ottoman Empire was split to create manufactured internal conflict.

This war really makes you hate Britain (and possibly France) for causing unrest in the first place

Palestinians also contain Christians. Its just the modern term for gentiles in Israel now.
