hellzabethMore to be uploaded tomorrow.
Featuring the Middle East, Israel (mama and bb), Imperialism, the Opium wars, MEXICOOOO, and colonies.
A scene from "Mine". I'm a sick fuck, I know.
Swinging right back round, we have the side of Iggy that actually cares about his colonies (when he's not being a jerkass).
Okay, so I got carried away with how long her plaits are. :| She's still awesome.
MIDDLE EEEEEEEAST! My god this took me forever and I had to come up with creative ways to make the girls look distinctive even while wearing hijabs. So yeah, visual aids y'all. (Round things on noses are not warts, they're nose piercings)
Mama Israel, celebrating being free. The lyrics are in Hebrew and the only words I can translate for you are "Ashira", which means "I praise", and "Addonay", which means "Lord".
I swear to god this looked much cuter on paper. orz So yeah, Modern Israel cerca 1947, the establishment of the Jewish State.
Ffff Oh England why do you fail so hard? Basically, in order to fight Turkey in the Middle East during WW2, the British Empire asked for help from the Jews and the Arabs in the area. The Arabs, specifically Palestine in this instance, were under the reign of the Ottoman Empire (Turkey) and wanted out. The Jews wanted land. Britain was like "sweet, sure, that's cool. You can be free and you can have land. Sorted."
Only the fact remained that after the war, Israel and Palestine found they'd been promised essentially the same thing; the exact same bit of land for them to call their own.
The shit, as they say, hit the fan.
England tried to make a deal; they can each have half the land. Only Palestine was like "it's all or nothing". So England shrugged and said "alright. Nothing for you." And so bb Israel was born. The rest of the Middle East were like "HEY MAN NOT COOL" and on the very first day the state was established started a war.
England helped with the fighting for a long time, but eventually just threw up his hands and said "FUCK THIS NOISE" and handed the matter over to the U.N.
Oh yeah, and America helped too. He gave little Israel some lovely birthday nukes to scare away his neighbours. This also made Israel even more unpopular, because he was hanging around with all the westerners and stuff. Him sitting on Palestine's old land was, to them, the symbol of the West invading.
It's crazy stuff man, but basically all England's fault. Again.
More tomorrow. For now, I sleep.

"I will sing unto Adonai (the Lord) for He has triumphed gloriously.
I will sing unto Adonai for He has triumphed gloriously.
Who is like You, O Adonai, among the gods?
Who is like You, glorious in holiness?
In Your mercy, you lead the people You redeemed.
In Your mercy, you lead the people You redeemed.
I will sing, I will sing, I will sing..."
Uh, yeah. You might alrady have it, but meh. And thankyou for the fantastic summary of the Israeli-Palestine war. Silly religious sibling rivalry, it's like fighting over the TV remote... when you both actually want to watch the same thing as well...
