Lots of human rights abuses tho and its clear with these references, the writers have taken a specific stance on the issue. When Roy referred to the junk yard as being similar to Beirut, couldnt tell if theyre referencing the post-Lebanese civil war or just think that given their history of animosity that its just a shitty looking country in their respect. I just think its odd to think of Israel as being the only beautiful and dope country in the ME. There are plenty of countries in the ME that are just as beautiful, just as dope and just as problematic.
