This submission has been removed because it is soapboxing, promoting a political agenda, or moralizing. We don't allow content that does these things because they are detrimental to unbiased and academic discussion of history.

To be clear, it's fine to ask about modern Middle Eastern history, but leave out the value judgements. Also, do avoid asking respondents for their own judgements: this sub isn't the sub for opinion or assigning 'bad guys'.
