Lyndon LaRouche often said that you don’t have any problems in Southwest Asia that have not been created by the British Empire. We are now seeing in the current clash between Israel and Palestine a classic case of geopolitical manipulation of religion and politics and geography to pit nations against each other, peoples against each other. Before the British Empire got its nose into this region in 1917, we didn’t have any problems between Jews and Muslims and Christians and so on. It’s a tragic situation. In Gaza, for example, there is a horrendous situation. The living conditions are similar to an open prison.
