Well airports in the gulf were not bombed until Israel started bombing Iran and pressuring America to join in all the fun.

facts are facts 🤷‍♀️

Again how to say you have obsolutely no idea about The Houthis and Saudi and the Yemani civil war at all without actually saying you have no idea about the 'issues' between The H and Saudi

🙄

Seriously you obviously have no idea of the ongoing problems between Saudi and The Houthis. Stop making yourself look stupid (or something much worse) and go read up a bit BEFORE using the Israel started it....you sound like you are a 15 year old on a march repeating what you have been told to say.

Really these threads are hillarious - some posters have no idea of any history.

Nah. You seem to be using "alternative facts".

Or should I call them " post truth era facts". Just read the thread.

I recall the show for children 'Scobby Doo'

Famous line at the end of each episode "it's all the fault of those pesky kids"

Well some appear to have reframed this to
"It's all the fault of those pesky Israelis (or dare I saw Jews, is what they mean) ....

With their childish 'facts' that aren't even facts just hate spewing ignorance. I wish they'd actually look into some history. Tic Tok has a lot to answer for.

I read a thread a couple of days ago on the main boards. Someone commented on the lack of knowledge and the antisemitism on CITME.

They weren't wrong.

I don’t think that helps to be honest.

Some of us have lived in the ME for an awful long time. Some of us probably have a very good grasp of what is going on. Understanding the countries that make it up, the people, the psychology of the place. I don’t think patronising other people on these boards is helpful at all. Play nicely people.

I give up trying to correct their lack of knowledge. Perhaps laughing at their parroting of untruths is easter.

Who knows that poster might actually go read up a bit on The Yemani civil war 🤔 who knows.

I frequent this section of mn less often nowadays. It's sad the narrative of blame Israel for pretty much everything. Too many soundbites around clouding the facts.

When they sweep in with their alternative "facts" as in rubbish. Then they need calling out.

I'll leave you to it.

Correct them or don't.

Educate them or don't.

So you have read up on Yemeni civil war and consider yourself superior? Have you lived in the ME? Maybe you have. I have. For 45 years. And married to an Iraqi. What I don’t like about the ME board is people who think they know a bit, and look down on others. Probably the reason that there is still a board.
