Two states of nature. Hell and Paradise. Only at this point do we forget about purgatory. […] Be Strong, Be Brave, Listen to the Poet. In Everything You Need to Know about War, Lebanon, Palestine, Israel in 2025 Part 5/5 you, dear reader, will meet death twice in this paradise.

If you don't speak or read Italian, the following video is about what I have to do here between hell and paradise, with the turmoil of betrayal. The betrayal of what paradise means while some die and others are ethnically cleansed. So when Trump has a crowded news field around his imperialism, as he also thanks you in defense of Zionism, he needs to be connected to what is hidden in purgatory.

The first piece of news is that I must dedicate a text to the continuation of this series exclusively in my native language, Portuguese. Although I recognize that many of the sources I have access to are in other languages, the complexity of this subject deserves greater care and a more direct vocabulary, and I believe I can do this better in my native tongue.

The puzzle from hell to paradise, so we'll go back to the main pieces of everything you need to know.

The Facts and the Sykes-Picot Agreement

"Sykes-Picot Agreement, (May 1916), secret convention made during World War I between Great Britain and France, with the assent of imperial Russia, for the dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire. The agreement led to the division of Turkish-held Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, and Palestine into various French- and British-administered areas". 

The control that power exerts over narrative is visionary in the influence of empire. From the Russian Revolution of 1905 to World War I, which ended with the aforementioned treaty, the main goal was to divide and rule. Those involved believed that by breaking away from the Ottoman Empire they would create a confederation of Arab states.

Zionism and the Holy Land

The journey between past and present, between old and new empires, between hell and paradise, takes us straight to Dante's Divine Comedy.

For those who felt that the persecution of the Jews and anti-Semitism was hell and that they were second-class citizens, the review of history and what is happening with the genocide of the Palestinians leads us to ask ourselves: for whom is the paradise of the Holy Land, for the Jews or for the Muslims who have forgotten the history of the Holy Land?

[…] BUT FOR THE MOMENT, I’LL SIMPLY ASK YOU TO TRUST ME.

In 1881, the Palestinian population occupied 90% of the Holy Land, around 450,000 ethnic Arab Muslims, and the Hebrew population was limited to a maximum of 20,000 people in the Holy Land.

Of this area, 60% was desert. Due to these climatic conditions, the population was concentrated in Judea, Samaria, Galilee and Jordan.

The question of conquering Palestine has always been an object of imperial desire for control. The Holy Land inspired the then Austrian journalist Theodor Herzal to think about creating a Hebrew state. He called it Zionism. It was born in Europe at the end of the 1890s, and its starting point was the redemption of the Hebrew people and its salvation.

With the partition of the Holy Land after the Ottoman Empire lost its power, France and the United Kingdom divided the Middle East between the two nations after the First World War. The Suez Canal was the great asset of the region for the empires. The British already controlled Egypt and were eyeing Palestine. 

France controlled part of Anatolia, Lebanon, and the northern coast of Syria. The United Kingdom controlled the province of Basra and Baghdad in Mesopotamia.

Two states of nature

Part 1

The world has become a strange place. I'd say it's a strange place to understand. See why the war 1982 is important. 

Part 2

Since Assad fall from power.  In order to reflect on what is happening, and when the subject is very complex, I prefer to write in several parts. In this second part, unlike the first part, I'll leave the video almost complete, but I'll leave some of the comments for part three of the series. Here's something that was commented on and not explained in words, the research on the relationship between more than 90% of the population in Syria living in extreme poverty and this clear confrontation between Zionism and those considered non-Jewish. Another important link in this regard can be read in the connection that Zionism has with the power of the United States. Watch Alastair Crooke's video.

Part 3

When it comes to power and the powerful in politics, we can't believe in a single narrative. Bringing Edward Said's vision into the debate, for example, marks the study of postcolonialism and reminds us that the past is alive in the present. The only narrative is the Western one. And it tends to be the narrative that Palestine is finally free, but this chronicle of the time after the fall of the regime can bring many surprises. A big mistake on this horizon is to think that dividing Palestine between Jews and non-Jews will bring any benefit, it is wrong and a mistake to believe in this discourse.

Part 4

There are times when we talk about something we've mastered. In fact, we couldn't tell you about the war in Syria even if we read all the books. Of course not. That's why (it, it, it, it) we try to respect with our limitation what we put in the way between what we read as such and what we read as true. So the videos show thinkers who can't reach a consensus on what they're playing at, and these struggles seem to find them in the division of powers for the meeting of wars forever. So some photos have the power to bring together who is sending the message and to whom. At the time, the Middle East was in bad shape and a warning zone. The threats posed by terrorist organizations since Osama Bin Laden are more numerous than we can imagine.
