The Yom Kippur War .


Recommended Posts

Promises   promises   promises   promises   promises

The British had promised, ( in 1915 ),  Arab nationalists,  that a united Arab country, covering most of the Arab Middle East, would result if the Ottoman Turks were defeated.

 

In 1917, in order to win Jewish support for Britain's First World War effort, the British Balfour Declaration promised the establishment of a Jewish national home in Ottoman-controlled Palestine.

 

When the fighting ended in 1918, with the Ottoman Empire defeated on every front, neither promise was delivered.

 

It's all our fault more than anyone else's  which I did say quite some time ago.

But that is ancient history, what about more recent developments ?

I told you didn't I ?    Every time I answer one question I just get some  more.

Modern history actually as the world goes and there's lots more to learn if you make the effort.

A lot has happened since 1918 that is very relevant.

You need to update your post please.

( Not a question did you notice ? )

Organgrinder and I have a bit of banter.

You’ll have to excuse or ignore us pensioners.

US special forces already on the ground.

1000s more may be on the way.

2 carrier groups plus Britains HMS QV heading there. 

Iran flaunting its new missile and its capabilities.

Rumblings from Turkey and then a chance (albeit a slim one) that Russia could get involved.

Jews being assaulted globally

Muslims standing up for Gaza in a way I've never seen before.... 

I could go on but suffice to say it's grim and getting more grim by the day.
