Thread 🧵 Arab states should be municipalities within a larger Arab federation that unites them along social, economic and political lines while maintaining their own local government & identity.
Hypothetically Jerusalem & Mecca would be the holiest cities & Baghdad our capital, with Cairo & Damascus as follow ups within a broad linguistic & geographic empire. 🕌🕍⛪️
The extravagant materialism of the UAE will be converted into funds used to rebuild indigenous architecture throughout the Middle East. The oil wealth of Saudi Arabia can be circulated to the Arab masses and taxed for public services.
This neo-Abbasid Empire would blend elements of authority, freedom, inclusion and exclusion in a way that preserves sovereignty, dignity, culture, religion, secularism, prosperity and civil society. With one flag as our own. The flag of the Arab people. The flag of Palestine. 🇵🇸
Mizrahi Jews would live securely among us and we would grant them a small autonomous municipality called Judea between Gaza & Beersheba. These are the Jews who descend from Moses, Judah, David & Esau. The Torah Jews. Those who in their hearts accept the Messiah & the Prophet too.
The other ten Tribes of Israel return to exile in Europe. Germany, Russia, Poland, Ukraine & the Caucasus, Azerbaijan and Georgia to be exact.
The Abbasid Caliphate birthed the Islamic Golden Age heralded in western philosophy and by modern academia.
What I’m calling for is a sovereign federation along those territorial lines.
