it’s the mideast, these tribes ( all of them ) have been throwing rocks at each other for 5,000 years. They’ll keep throwing rocks at each other for the next 5,000 years. It’s always hilarious when some American starts explaining why his favorite mideast tribe is the best and the others are barbarians.

The paradox is all these tribes are ethnically and genetically similar. All of them; the local Jews & Palastinians are basically the same semitic people. The zillion variations of Arabs tribes are pretty much the same as the Kurds and Turks and what have you. They scream bloody murder when one states this obvious truth; because it just the mideast and they must squabble for ever.

Please do some basic research: it’s the mideast, these tribes ( all of them ) have been throwing rocks at each other for 5,000 years. They’ll keep throwing rocks at each other for the next 5,000 years.

Most of these tribes have not existed for anywhere near 5,000 years. Jews were one of the founders of Western civilization.

Not really. Jews are Jews and Palestinians are Palestinians. National Identity and religiou matter. Also, you are wrong about genetics.

Yes and no. Arabic is a Semitic language. Kurdish is a group of Iranic languages (Aryan branch of Indo-European). The Turkish spoken by those in the Republic of Turkey is Altaic (a completely seperate language family) and the pre-existing Anatolians were Indo-Europeans.
