It wasn’t peaceful. It was another front for colonial powers, starting with downfall of ottomans to world wars. World wars did play out in the ME. There were countless revolts, uprising against colonialism..leading up to Arab / Jewish situation.
ME is still a playground for western powers post the decline of European colonialism. Now, you have the US , Russia and China (to an extent). So nothing changed. Europe just got neutered.
Also, we literally have a war in Europe right now. Post WW2, seismic things occurred - Yugoslavia wars, The troubles , tons of nonsense with Soviet Union and its European states , east/west Germany …major ones I can remember. The Middle eastern stuff is very recent. You might need to check your “fascination “
Yeah, the OP could easily fact check this with AI “ did Europe have a lot of military conflicts in the 20th century” and quickly debunk the hypothesis the OP’s statement implies.
Yeah you should brush up on your history:)
Interesting way to say you hate Jews
Huh?
Brits left india and divided it into two countries
Actually the decolonization of India resulted in three countries. They are not in the Middle East; India is South Asia. This was probably the most well planned and orderly British decolonization. I mean the Communists didn’t even get a foothold and the major religious groups generally had control in their new countries (plus UN recognition).

There was a wave of Islamic revolutions in the 1970s. Also, it wasn’t that peaceful before: was ruled partly by an aging Ottoman Empire and by a bunch of monarchies. Indeed, a lot of Christian rulers or major influencers like in Lebanon and Syria.
People forget how alien, extreme, and modern this current wave of political Islam is. It was completely different before. Look at media from Iran, Pakistan etc from the 50s and 60s. Totally different.
OP is trying to say it’s Israel’s fault. He’s trying to be cute.
Rising Star
There used to be sizeable populations of Jews across the Middle East before 1950. Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Syria, Jordan, Iraq all had Jewish populations but now there are almost none. They must have been keeping the peace!
OP, I don’t think you realize there are so many more layers to the little joke you think you’re making. Joke’s on you. I’m sorry that you’ve been misinformed by some 5 min hot take video you watched on TikTok, which is the only kind of thing that could be so ignorant.

Middle east was violent all throughout the history . The kings from those countries invaded Asia all the time until British reached India. Islam reached Asia because of invasions from middle eastern armies, just like how Christianity reached Asia with British and other European invasions.
History is fascinating, you just have to read it.
You’re so close to making the connection OP
