I think I agree, foreign intervention has not always helped the Middle East, and in many cases probably made things a lot worse. The end of the video did mention America and Russia performing military operations in the Middle East, and how those operations did not always go well. All that said, you could make the case that video report is somewhat biased, but I'm just glad there's accessible info like this on youtube that tries to honestly explain world issues. I'm very happy I found this channel personally. I think I learned more about Middle Eastern current events from watching this video than I have from watching American news the last 5 years or so. I'm very curious to know what they say about Europe and the Americas, tbh
@@malcolmtaylor7074 Yup that is very very vague especially for a video which is supposed to be a clear introduction but completely ignores the US and denies that the US had anything to do with this. Also by mentioning Israel first and the Jewish people living there. They make it sound like Israel is so innocent when 99% of the "Israelis" during the 1948 war had just arrived years ago and the Jewish population of Israel continued to grow from surrounding Arab nations and European counterparts. It is extremely dishonest to cut out mentioning that there was no massive Jewish population for centuries and that all the Jews who lived before the immigration didn't want a Jewish state.
When they made the forms of governments video, they explicitly put the Palestinian flag under “Authoritarian Governments”, it sure is, but there are better more evident examples
It was necessary to clarify who lived in the land of Palestine before its occupation, And how was Iraq before its destruction, It would have been better if you recounted the invading occupation of Middle Eastern and African lands by the West. This region has suffered from the exploiters of its intellectual, spiritual and material wealth. and since the video was found to explain the Middle East, where are the successes and victories of Middle Easterners, I don't see them in the video and they are many. The media has not changed and always puts a robe over the Middle East and North Africa.

In what way is Turkey a part of the Middle East? Geographically? Turkey's geography is very different from the Middle East and is covered with forests. There are no deserts in Turkey. On the contrary, agriculture has been carried out on its extremely fertile lands for thousands of years. The average rainfall in Anatolia is much higher than that of the Middle East. Culturally, a significant portion of Turks are Muslim. However, Turks are much different from Arabs and Iranians. Because Turks are not fanatically religious like Arabs and Iranians. Turkey is also the second most influential country in NATO. Turkey, the European Union and America act together in the effective protection and defense of NATO member countries. Although Turkey was perceived as having distanced itself from the values of the civilized world during the years of the AKP government, almost all of the Turkish people want to see their future and Turkey as a part of the West. Above all, Turkey has never been a part of the Middle East in historical and sociological terms! There is no way it could be.
