On the historical facts he is correct but on everything else he’s wrong. For the same reason the British and the French should be the ones to clean up the middle east, as they caused the problem to begin with after WW1.
Reviewing the history of the Middle East it's pretty obvious that when the Arabs who ran Baghdad murdered the emissaries sent to the city by the Mongols, that pretty much set the course of things for that part of the world for the next 600 worlds.
The Mongols were decent chaps but they only wanted to re-establish trade and had a short fuse. They had been very busy re-opening the Silk Road and the trade routes to India in the South and people who got in their way and raised the costs were expendable.
Eventually the Middle East fell completely under the control of the Turks who'd earlier taken over Anatolia and much of the Byzantine Empire.
Their ruling cadre, called "The Sublime Porte", made a mistake in the early 1900s and allied themselves with the Kaiser's Germany.
Post WWI all that was going on was the restructuring of the former Turkish Tax Farm called "the Arabic Speaking parts of the Ottoman Empire".
Among other things the Allied Powers (the "winners") decided through their League of Nations (which we didn't joing) was to reconfigure the Palestine Sector as a Jewish Homeland much as it had been back in the Second Century.
The Arabs at that time were lucky to no longer be Turkish slaves ~ today they may be fairly seen as "ingrates".
