Why can't they just build a new Palestine and fix the whole Middle East issue



Egypt could easily donate enough land in the Sinai desert to make a Palestinian state. The Arab nations could easily afford to build it for the Palestinians. The problems with that are the fact that the Palestinians do not want all of Israel and Palestine and they do not want the Israel to exist. Also the arabs do not want the Palestinians in their countries.

You are safer there than literally anyplace in America. Far cleaner as well. You can eat off the streets. I'd totally move to Dubai one day like many folks have from here, the UK, Australia, South Africa, etc.
I've always wanted to visit but never had the chance.

This seems like a terrible idea, even if they win the bid. That village will be rotting 5 years after whatever year they win the bid for (if it even happens).
I have to agree unless they have other plans.

Is Egypt cool?


Its one of the coolest places to visit on earth IF you have some money. You can book a tour and river cruise and be accompanied by armed tour guides. You'll need to spend 20k-ish a couple.

If you don't...no. Its a daunting place to go. Cairo is a filthy place, you can't eat most of the food and definitely can't drink the water, and if you are western woman you will be groped and harassed AT BEST. You can easily get raped, its very common.

While its not quite as bad as India, for a major tourist destination its not very safe.

This might be true to a certain degree for those places, you just have to know the law, because you can get arrested for things that we would not even consider.


But it is not the case for Egypt.

Sonny the Youtuber at Best Ever Food Review Show had a horrific time in Cairo. He's been all over the world, and does a great job promoting his destinations, but Egypt is the one place he vows never to return to.

You see a lot of stories comparing Egypt/Cairo to India, which is not a compliment.

In terms of the food borne illnesses and the treatment of women

I love when people say stupid shite and when they’re called on it, say the dissenters are “triggered”. No ones triggered. You made an ignorant statement. There’s over 100,000 slaves in the UAE. It isn’t some safe and free society you’re trying to portray.

You are absolutely triggered. Slaves does not equal murder, robbery, assault etc.

You guys get so bent out if shape over majority Muslim countries being safe. It’s bizarre.

This is your logic:

Places like Dubai, Qatar, UAE being safe = Bad!

United States being majority Christian and having crime basically everywhere = Good!

Nobody is saying we should 100% emulate middle eastern countries but they have crime and punishment down to a science that we absolutely could learn from.

Do people in America not know the law?

Why do we have so much violent crime and even petty crime compared to many middle eastern countries? Is it because people here “don’t know the law”?

What are you even saying.

You can get arrested for things there that you cannot get arrested for here, and they have some fairly harsh things in place for them.

If you are aware of these things some of those countries in places that Westerners would go can be quite safe.

Egypt is really not one of them though.

That places like Dubai, UAE, Qatar are far safer than anywhere in America when it comes to violent crime or even petty crime.

But they have slaves!!!

That’s irrelevant to me being able to park a Porsche at a gas station there leave the driver door open with the remote on the seat and come back 8 hours later and my car still be there. Try that shite here.

Why are you people so triggered by low crime? Japan and South Korea are no different. It’s ok to admit that there are places on planet earth that don’t have out of control crime no matter their majority religious population or no religion like Japan. We are supposedly a country founded on judeo Christian beliefs and we have crime all over the place.

Your post is very emotional so I think we know who's "triggered".

We're talking about overall safety. So, yes it would include having your passport taken away and forced to work as a slave. Or be put to death for talking to locals about Christianity. Murder, robbery, and assault numbers are lower in North Korea and Cuba. There's different reasons for both, including not recording stats (Cuba) and being shot in the street if steal something (N. Korea). That doesn't make those countries safer than the US.

Your argument is the same one lefties use to get rid of the 2nd amendment. Yes, it you confiscate all guns, gun violence will go down. But that doesn't mean you're less safe.

Edit: Also, to the pasrt about us being a Christian nation. We've been stripping away Christian values for the last 3 decades. That is actually an argument that we should be more Chirstian, not that Christianity is causing more crime.
