The middle east is your thing, isn't it?

Western liberalisation will soon disappear from there and other Muslim countries, so you can return there in the gratifying knowledge that you won't have to endure European Euro-centrism, but can nestle contented in that glorious culture that is modern Islamism.

And BTW, don't try to guilt us into taking responsibility for the crapshow that is Israel/Palestine. Both sides turned on us in the second half of the 1940s, telling us to bugger off so they can sort things out by themselves. We buggered off as they wished, and now you want us to feel guilty for not doing anything about it? They didn't want us to do anything about it. They wanted us to clear off, which we did. Now it's their responsibility, not ours. And while Israel is by some distance the closest in that region to us culturally, they are still middle eastern, and fundamentally alien to us. Well, except their liberals and socialists, but they're losing traction there too, so Israel too can become a properly middle eastern country in a few generations time. No more bleeding heart Euro-liberalism for the Israelis, but full immersion in the cruddy culture of that region.
