The Middle East

[HenrySwanson]

It's perfectly possible to acknowledge the root cause of something while condemning the outcomes and actions of both sides that have resulted from said root cause.

What would you say about each of these (3) outcomes, in turn:

One white kid called my Malaysian friend a *****.
Some of my classmates danced in the playground on 9/11 and laughed at the liquidation of the ghetto scene in Schindler's List that we had to watch in History class.

I think the world is changing very, very quickly and we need to stay on top instead of falling back on more, outdated(?) thinking.

Note, that's a call for a more holistic, nuanced view rather than West = bad.

For example I'm watching this:



But according to some views, only 1 factor is the real cause, and I don't think many are buying that.

I'd say exactly the same thing, as I've already quite clearly addressed this.

Oh and root cause doesn't mean the only factor involved, so please don't try and strawman what I was quite clear about.

OK, so what is the root cause in each case?

Please understand it's not a strawman. I believe the root cause for all 3 is tribal/group differences with other and different aggravating factors.

Would your explanation account for this:

Aid to the Church in Need | BURKINA FASO: 100 Christians killed in three months

Islamist extremists have massacred around 100 Christians and kidnapped many more in Burkina Faso in attacks since May.

This?

Inside Britain's secret far right army

Active Club (AC), whose members praise Adolf Hitler, poses as a UK sports club seeking the self-improvement of young men through weight training and fitness.

Given that one is in West Africa and the other is in Northern Europe I fail to see what that has to do with the Middle East.

Oh, and you clearly have little experience with root-cause analysis.

Can you give some context, in your own words, rather than just posting a video and nothing else.
