BIG THINK: TOP 10 Reasons The World Needs a United Middle East Union NOW!
100 Plus Years of Failure Demands a New Era whereby A NEW Middle East Union Rises to Replace the Outdated 20th Century Myopia of Jaundiced Old Men in Dusty Suits

A New Vision of Volksstaat (People’s State) Must Replace the 20th Century Jaundice of Judenstaat (Jewish State) and Muslim Kingdoms in the Middle East for the next 100 years
Clearly, the current vision of The Middle East is an abject failure. It is an utter disaster and a disgrace to everyone man, woman, and child in the whole of the Middle East including but not limited to Jews, Christians, and Muslims. This failure was created by 20th-century jaundiced men whose vision was myopic. It just does NOT work in our newly globalized connected century.
As we all know, Der Judenstaat was created in the late 1890s by an Austrian man in Vienna named Theodore Herzl who thought he was doing the right thing by creating a vision of a “Jewish State” for Europeans who endured over 500 years of strife in Europe. However, it was hijacked by the victors of World War I and the use of dirty oil to energize the industrial revolution. But those days are over now. We are in the age of AI and alternative energy. We are in the age of global connection. Continuing that crusty vision is simply foolish because we just don’t live in that world anymore. We need better now!
I mean, the Middle East has long been seen as a region rife with conflict, sectarianism, and foreign interventions. Enough is enough! It’s not working! Time to end this nonsense!
Instead, imagine a radically different future: a Middle East Union (MEU), styled after the European Union, where every citizen, regardless of color, race, or creed, can live in freedom, enjoying one citizenship, one passport, and full freedom to travel, work, live, and worship. This bold vision will pave the way for economic prosperity, social harmony, and regional stability, and must replace the outdated, divisive vision that Western powers imposed on the Middle East after 1917.
Here are the top 10 reasons why a Middle East Union is a “Big Think” vision whose time has come.
1. A Unified Population of Over 200 Million People
The Middle East consists of around 18 countries, with a combined population of over 220 million people, covering Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Palestine, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This union would create a bloc with a population similar to the European Union (EU), which boasts around 450 million citizens. With such a large, youthful population (median age in the region is around 24), the MEU would be poised to become an economic powerhouse, driven by human capital, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
2. A Combined GDP Exceeding $2 Trillion
The combined Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the proposed Middle East Union could exceed $2 trillion. With Saudi Arabia and the UAE boasting strong oil-based economies and Israel contributing cutting-edge technology and innovation, the union would leverage the strengths of each country. Iraq’s vast natural resources, Lebanon’s dynamic service economy, and Palestine’s budding tech and service sectors could drive sustainable economic growth. This new economic bloc would have the potential to compete globally, benefiting from intra-regional trade and investments, much like the European Union.
