Middle East Film #2 Question

What sources of tension, new and old, in the Middle East are revealed by the film?

    Oil is a source of tension, and has been for a while. Lack of or too much US intervention is also a source of tension. Protesting is a cause, as people want economic and political reform in many countries, and many police forces react to these protests with violence. In countries like Bahrain, involvement of Middle Eastern countries in the affairs of other Middle Eastern countries is another source of tension.
