  1. ⬆️ @homohortus

    BEFORE the #ArabRevolt in #WWI, secret #Arab societies hiding from #YoungTurks unilaterally drafted the #DamascusProtocol and offered it to Grand Sherif #Hussein as a blueprint to negotiate Arab independence with #Britain.

    Britain never agreed to the Damascus Protocol and made an offer based on vague borders per #Kitchener's letter.

    Hussein was in a hurry. Instead of looking at actual British offer, he got fixated on Damascus Protocol.

    #McMahonHusseinCorrespondence ensued.

    >> So it was Turkey that antagonized BOTH Arabs and British.

    Under threat from #CUP, and still under the #TurkishYoke, #Arabs approached #Britain and offered to revolt against #Turks in exchange for British recognition of #Arab independence from #OttomanEmpire.

    British had rebuffed Arabs too, just as they had rebuffed #Zionists, but Turkish entry in #WWI changed everything and Britain agreed to work with Arabs.

    THAT led to the #ArabRevolt, NOT #McMahonHusseinCorrespondence

  5. #Ottoman #Turkey was already scheming to depose Grand Sharif #Hussein of #Mecca

    #ThievesBanquet, starting with #Russia coveting #Constantinople (#Istanbul), with #Britain & #France reluctantly agreeing, led to #Kitchener letter offering #Hussein independence from #Ottomans but it was based on vague borders

    Separately, #Arab secret societies #AlAhd & #AlFatat jointly conceived #DamascusProtocol, foundation of #ArabRevolt against #Turks, to include #Palestine but British never promised them that

  8. Why do #Iran & #ArabLeague feel threatened by #Jews on the tiny speck of land #FromTheRiverToTheSea & call for #destructionOfIsrael?

    All else, including #US #Imperialism, #Zionism, are noise that obfuscate original #Arab #bloodlust:
    — born in #ArabRevolt under #TurkishYoke (that oppressed #Palestinians too) &
    — forged by #Turkish, #Russian, #British, & #French intrigue
