The Balfour Declaration of 1917, and the defeat of the Ottoman Caliphate in 1918, was the beginning of the #rollback of Arab Islamic imperialism. Let's see some more indigenous groups gaining power in their ancestral land. Start with the Kurds, the Amazigh-Berbers, the Assyrians, the Baluchis, Yazidis, Maronites, Alawites, to name just a few indigenous groups which were colonised by the Islamic invaders.

@Landofisraelforever : The Arabs in Palestine fought on the side of the Ottoman Turks in WWI. Losers of a war that they started do not get to decide who ends up with what land🙄. The Hejazi Arabs fought with the British and got 99% of the carved-up Ottoman Middle East land, today's Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Jordan. The indigenous Jews also fought with the British and were given the legal right to reconstitute THEIR ancestral homeland 'from the river to the sea'. Since the 1917 signing of the Balfour Declaration the Arabs of Palestine have violently resisted the Jews returning to control in their land. It's time they accepted reality or moved on. Israel should extend sovereignty over the disputed areas of Judea and Samaria, and Gaza, and offer the Arab occupants "residence status". That would give them equal CIVIL rights, relative autonomy, security, a travel document, etc. but not NATIONAL voting rights. #OneJewishState

Brilliant comment. It is all about RELIGION for Muslims. They tell me this when I'm in countries like Egypt. Why don't people listen to Muslims and take them at their word? Thankfully, Islam is losing power and followers so a rewrite of the Islamic scriptures may not be needed. The internet is speeding up its collapse.

@gdup1728 : Islamic imperialists created the biggest empire at one time in the known-world. The chaos that's occurring now is because we are witnessing the #rollback of Arab Islamic imperialism.
