    #Hussein and his sons put their personal lives in danger when they launched the #ArabRevolt against #Turkey. They fully deserved the freedom.

    #Palestinians, OTOH, never fought for their freedom.

    The main culprits were #Turkey and #Russia. There was much duplicity, especially between #Britain and #France, who sought advantage in the conflict for their own colonial ambitions.

    How is it, then, that the blame ALWAYS goes to the #UnitedStates, #Jews, #Zionists, and #Israel?

    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.

    In 1913, #Britain was with #Arabs & #OldTurks in #Turkey and rebuffed #Zionist Nahum #Sokolow.

    In 1914, Turkey entered #WWI against Allies Britain & #France.

    Britain repeatedly tried to parley with #OldTurks, encouraged them to exit the war, and dangled #Palestine, but Turkey refused EVERY TIME.

    Separately, #YoungTurks in Committee Of Union and Progress (#CUP) were scheming to depose Arab Chief #Hussein.

    So it was Turkey that antagonized BOTH Arabs and British.

  10. ⬆️ Grand Sharif #Hussein secretly dispatched emissaries to main #Arab leaders

    1915: #Hussein learns of #Turkish plans to depose him, and to assert #Ottoman control over #Hejaz

    #AlAhd & #AlFatat join forces; conceive the #DamascusProtocol, foundation of #ArabRevolt

    Implicit in the Damascus Protocol, Grand Sharif Hussein would preside over the "Great Arab State" containing #Palestine.

    #Britain Makes Hussein an offer for an independent #sovereign #Muslim State & full control over holy sites!
