          The current problems in the middle east are mainly due to western powers. Whether that is the British or French drawing random lines on a map over 100 years or america destabilising resource rich countries.

          Things that make it look like the US is the bad guy once again:

          • the US and Israel funded Hamas to take power away from the more secular left PLO (not the first time funding religious extremists)
          • the US tried to stage a coup after Hamas took power in a democratic election
          • Gaza has oil and gas deposits that Israel is selling contracts for
          • Israel has released plans to build a bigger competitor to the Suez canal that would benefit the US as they would profit from international trade and not Egypt who isn’t aligned with US interests (read Muslim country)
          • going through Gaza would make this proposed canal straighter therefore cheaper to build and faster to navigate
          • US arms companies benefit anytime a country is buying stockpiled armaments

          Unironically we wouldn’t be in this situation if the US and israel weren’t dicks about everything.
