 | | The Middle East includes the Asian section of Turkey, Cyprus, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Israel, Jordan, the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Yemen, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and the Golan Heights. | | | The region is well known for its huge stock of crude oil and for being the birthplace and spritual centre of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. | | | Since that time the Middle East has fallen behind the rest of the world economically, and has also been plagued with an ongoing conflict between Arabs and Israel. |

| | The Middle East - Global Issues |
| | From the religious backdrops (the region being centers of Judaism, Christianity and Islam) to the regional ally for the US that Israel is, the Palestinian people have been denied a right to their land. | | | As a result, for centuries, the western population has been acclimatized to a type of propaganda and vilification of the Arab people of the Middle East, and of Islam in general. | | | To the West, Israel is an ally only because of the oil interests in the Middle East region. |

| | This website is dedicated to spreading the truth about Israel and the "Palestinians" (who incidentally didn't call themselves that and didn't have a national movement before 1967). It will also help to dispel the myth that Israel is the "root cause of terrorism" (follow the link to determine what the root cause actually is!). | | | We have to admit - we were sceptical that we would ever see the day where an Arab government would speak negatively about terrorism and it’s supporters. | | | For this reason, we formed Middle East Facts, to give you the best online resource for facts pertaining to the Middle East. |
