Just wanna point out that this is racist (???) propaganda meant to give the impression that the current state of the Middle East is anything but directly caused by Western interference. The Middle East was stable under Ottoman rule and Arab (gross oversimplification) rule before it.
Yeah, this whole “that place hasn’t had peace for thousands of years” is a Western talking point made to justify our occupation there.
The Ottoman and Arab empire (which we LOVE to pretend never existed) not only brought a lot of the innovations in science and technology that we still use to this day, but they also had a lot of social advancements that predated Western culture.
Heck, there hasn’t been peace in the Middle East since the Bronze Age Collapse.
