Religious authorities go after comedian Shaden Fakih over prayers sketch

Dear UN520, I’m not surprised by your comment, considering you usually echo Zionist propaganda. When you mention 'Europe,' which region are you referring to? The Southern and Eastern EU, or the Northern and Western EU? One region is prospering due to 150 years of colonialism followed by a long period of neocolonialism (and genocide), while the other is economically disadvantaged and underdeveloped. One is often described as progressive but some would argue it's decadent, while the other is seen as traditional and rational. Let's engage in a debate on this topic here.

A recent statement for a couple of week ago from a French general suggested that France may need to reassert control (= recolonise) over Africa within a decade due to mounting debt and loss of international relevance.

In contrast to the neighboring Nordic nations, Denmark has enjoyed wealth for centuries. With a history as a significant colonial power and its close proximity to the Netherlands and Britain, it quickly absorbed new ideas. Similar to Sweden, Denmark maintained neutrality during conflicts, thus minimizing the extent of damages incurred. Despite being occupied by Germany in World War II, the level of destruction was comparatively limited.

Following the war, Sweden capitalized on its pre-existing industrialization by joining the OECD and participating in the Marshall Plan. This facilitated the attraction of large corporations, gradually increasing its wealth until the economy shifted from secondary to tertiary industries. Nevertheless, Sweden faced economic crises and a decline in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Joining the EU and the influx of migrant workers have since provided a boost to its economy. Sweden is not exceptionally successful economically!

Norway's collaboration with the Nazis during the Holocaust is a dark and reprehensible chapter in Scandinavian history. However, in terms of the magnitude of atrocities committed, few can rival the Ukrainian nationalists, known as Banderists, who played a significant role in the murder of an estimated 1.5 million Jews. This sobering fact underscores the depth of human suffering and the horrors perpetrated during that period.

The allure of England and Scandinavia for many people from the Middle East can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, these countries are often perceived as offering generous welfare systems and social benefits, commonly referred to as "états-providence" or welfare states. This perception is reinforced by the availability of free accommodation, financial support, and other social services.

It's crucial to recognise that attributing the root cause of our problems solely to Hamas or Hezbollah -created in the mid 1980s- is oversimplified and misleading. The complexities of our challenges trace back to the era of French and British colonization in the region. Their presence on the permanent seats of the UN during colonisation influenced decisions regarding land allocation to Jewish European colonisers, which subsequently impacted the geopolitical landscape. Moreover, their ongoing military involvement in various countries underscores the lasting effects of colonial legacies. Additionally, their influence in selecting leaders during the Arab Spring (AKA CIA Spring) further illustrates their continued impact on destruction and impoverishing in most nations in the MENA region.
