And the images comes out that female are used by male. And than the things comes out that East kind of mysterious place full of secrets and monsters.

In Egypt first important imperial modern British attacked not for loot but they comes as normal army soldiers and with scientists, and other people. They take survey for Europe not for Egypt. "To produce knowledge, you have power to be there and to see in expert way that other natives can't see".

Now in two countries like America and Israel. They are anti-islamic, Israel was secured by army tp the Islamic. So and than islamic are grow as a terrorist. And that called islamic revolution many images and videos are upload by media. That large number of black banner reflect as a threaten to other countries like America, that islaam wants to kill Americans.

In other countries like Arabic world was not good like danger and terrorists kind of people live their. After that in the movies islamic are provide as a villains and in the movie many dead bodies are seen islamic people.

This reference connected with Oklahoma attack, that in the city one bombing case happened in Oklahoma after that police investigated that this is done by middle East people's. the history of middle East it's talked about war that happen in any way as bloody middle East history.

Antonio said that:- "History has left us in an infinity of traces".

-"The task is to compile an inventory of the traces that history has left is us".

Task of interpretation, task of giving history some shape. It's not about my history better than yours or worse. It's about to understand people with know their history.


the conflict between Israel and Palestinian:-

The conflict between Israel and Palestinian was not for war and other thing's but for 'Land'.

The establishment in Palestinian of a national home for the Jewish people. Basically the British had promised to Palestinian for the meccans, to themselves and to the Zionist. After the end of world war the British establishes a colony in Palestinian with the idea that they'd rule until the Palestinian were ready to govern themselves. Now British are not good people so they live and take one thing that was divided and rule. After sometimes the partitions between Israel and Palestinian happens by Britishers.And after that partitions war happened for six days and in the end Israel won.
