It's not really about gunpower, it's about the effects of geography, natural resources and climate have on human activity.Having the ability to steal from all their neighbors tech when they would go to war which was damn near nonstop in the eastern hemisphere it makes sense.
I would think that gun powder the real game changer.
I will have to check it out.
I meant more in the genocide that the white man brought with them was able to happen like it did due to gun powder.It's not really about gunpower, it's about the effects of geography, natural resources and climate have on human activity.
Live on an island, with limited natural resources but enough to get by and with hundreds of miles of ocean between you and the nearest competitor or customer. You might just be happy to fish, fuck and live in peace but not have much wealth.
The story of the Old World is nearly exactly the opposite.

Algeria?There are Jews in Iran ...My Landrace Iranians are from the same are where Queen ESTER's Tomb was ..... until the Shah gave Israel the green light to use a Military Helicopter and transfer it to Israel ... The Jews of Iran share the same Lineage of the Jews of the Bible.... they're respected and nobody gives them any problems
There are estimated to be fewer than ten Jewish people in Iraq. The story of the >134,993 Iraqi Jews who became refugees or died isn't one of "respect and nobody giving them problems". That's one of the things I like least about you. The lying. The next least-liked thing about you is your antisemitism.There are Jews in Iran ...My Landrace Iranians are from the same are where Queen ESTER's Tomb was ..... until the Shah gave Israel the green light to use a Military Helicopter and transfer it to Israel ...

I believe that one can oppose the Israeli government's treatment of Palestinians and not be anti-Semitic.So let’s run some numbers:
According to a UN assembly debate on the Middle East there were;
Algeria 140,000 Jews
Egypt 70,000
Syria, home of your beloved Jesus, a Jew, 10’s of thousands
all gone, btw there were no evacuation flights from Tripoli to Tel Aviv or alternatives.
so fuck you Jim if that’s important, hundreds of thousands of humans were displaced or killed so you can wear a keffiyeh and pretend to be a Palestinian
that i do agree with, i'm not very happy with the Israeli Government cause of what they are doing to the Palestinians.....they should both bury the hatchet as it were and just live in peace......but they don't cause of one person...smhI believe that one can oppose the Israeli government's treatment of Palestinians and not be anti-Semitic.

IRAQ
Jews in 1948: 135,000. Jews in 2018: <10.
Jews have lived in modern-day Iraq since before the common era and prospered in what was then called Babylonia until the Muslim conquest in 634 AD. Under Muslim rule, the situation of the Jewish community fluctuated yet at the same time, Jews were subjected to special taxes and restrictions on their professional activity. Under British rule, which began in 1917, Jews fared well economically, but this changed when Iraq gained independence.
In June 1941, the Mufti-inspired, pro-Nazi coup of Rashid Ali sparked rioting and a pogrom in Baghdad. Armed mobs, with the complicity of the police and the army, murdered 180 Jews and wounded almost 1,000. Although emigration was prohibited, many Jews made their way to Mandate Palestine with the aid of an underground movement.
Additional outbreaks of anti-Jewish rioting occurred between 1946 and 1949, and following the establishment of Israel in 1948, Zionism was made a capital crime. In 1950, the Iraqi parliament legalized emigration to Israel, provided that Iraqi Jews forfeited their citizenship before leaving. Between May 1950 and August 1951, the Jewish Agency and the Israeli government succeeded in airlifting approximately 110,000 Jews to Israel in Operation Ezra & Nehemiah. At the same time, 20,000 Jews were smuggled out of Iraq through Iran. A year later the property of Jews who emigrated from Iraq was frozen, and economic restrictions were placed on Jews who remained in the country.
In 1952, Iraq’s government barred Jews from emigrating, and publicly hanged two Jews after falsely charging them with hurling a bomb at the Baghdad office of the U.S. Information Agency. A community that had reached a peak of 150,000 in 1947, dwindled to a mere 6,000 after 1951. Persecutions continued, especially after the Six Day War in 1967, when 3,000 Jews were arrested, dismissed from their jobs, and some hanged in the public square of Baghdad. In one instance, on January 27, 1969, Baghdad Radio called upon Iraqis to “come and enjoy the feast” and some 500,000 people paraded and danced past the scaffolds where the bodies of the hanged Jews swung; the mob rhythmically chanting “Death to Israel” and “Death to all traitors.”
As of 2008, the Jewish Agency for Israel estimated that there were only seven Jews remaining in Iraq while Baghdad’s Meir Tweig synagogue, the last synagogue in use, was closed in 2003 after it became too dangerous to gather openly. The State Department reported in 2011 that anti-Semitism is still widespread in both state-owned and private media outlets and Holocaust denial is often glorified.
being anti zionist is pretty much being anti semitic...i'm not sure how the jews in iran reconcile living in a country that wants their "homeland" and it's population destroyed, but i'm pretty sure that most of the rest of the worlds jewish population don't take kindly to it, and would consider your equivocation irrelevant, you want to destroy what they consider to be their ancestral home, and the people living there, and that makes you an enemy to them, whether or not you consider yourself one. The jews in iran might not call you an anti semite, but i'm willing to wager that most of the rest of the jews in the world wouldn't be so forgiving.I said IRAN not Iraq an Arab country…. And I’m anti-Zionist not JEWISH…. Sorry your not able to understand the difference
So the millions of people that were displaced in the Middle East don't count unless they are Muslim?I said IRAN not Iraq an Arab country…. And I’m anti-Zionist not JEWISH…. Sorry your not able to understand the difference
Many people don't know the difference!And I’m anti-Zionist not JEWISH…. Sorry your not able to understand the difference
You effing liar.I said IRAN not Iraq an Arab country…. And I’m anti-Zionist not JEWISH…. Sorry your not able to understand the difference
