#US didn't do it. #Arabs & #Turks did it to themselves, & did it without #Palestinian agency ➡️ https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/111480417535849548

When #Ottomans entered #WWI & when Arabs wrote the #DamascusProtocol, neither consulted #Palestinians. Turkey wanted war spoils then. And after #Assad, still wants it

#McMahonHusseinCorrespondence refined the vague borders of the original #Kitchener letter and carved OUT specific areas, including #Palestine, from a future #Arabia.

SUBJECT to above modifications, the #British accepted rest of the limits, frontiers, and borders advocated by #DamascusProtocol.

Nov 5, 1915: #Hussein refused to budge on #Arab claims to land west of #Damascus, #Hama, #Homs & Aleppo, including #Alexandretta, giving rise to #Britain's #ForwardPolicy.

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.

Nice explanation of #ThievesBanquet — WHY #Britain carved out #Palestine.

#DamascusProtocol was crafted unilaterally by secret Arab societies but Britain never promised Palestine to #Hussein in #McMahonHusseinCorrespondence.

Britain rebuffed #zionism in 1914 & tried repeatedly to get #Turkey out of #WWI in exchange for Palestine, but Turkey refused.

Palestinians never fought for freedom.

Skipping a lot of #history? My timeline is FULL of that. Look for #TurkishYoke, #ThievesBanquet, #DamascusProtocol, #Arabism, #ArabNationalism, #permanentStateOfWar, #inTheirName…

Before Israel funded Hamas, #Palestinians kicked offer for free state in 1947 & joined Arabs in war. If they hadn’t done that, Israel wouldn’t need to fund Hamas

⬆️ The #KitchenerTelegram gained something in translation that #British had not intended — involvement of #Arabs DURING the War

So a "clarification" was sent, which made matters worse

Secret societies of discontented Arabs in #Hejaz (#Arabia) immediately latched on to these signals and drafted the #DamascusProtocol, not for #Palestinians #inTheirName, but for their OWN power

In any case, #Britain did not owe Palestinians anything because the latter never fought the #Turks to help the British

It was #misfortune compounded by #misunderstanding.

Misfortune was that #Abdullah's initial contact with #British in 1914 had already primed them into choosing #Hussein in 1915 without considering ALTERNATIVES.

The misunderstandings were 2-fold:

1. Misunderstanding on #Kitchener's part about a monolithic homogenous #Islamic bloc & blind spot over the #Shia-#Sunni divide, and

2. Misunderstanding on #Hussein's part in conflating #DamascusProtocol and British offer of Independence

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

#Hussein was LIVID.

He was under the impression that the #British had agreed to the #DamascusProtocol document, prepared by #Arab secret societies #AlFatat & #AlAhd, declaring that Arabs would revolt in alliance with #UK. In return, UK would recognize Arab independence in the area specified by the Damascus Protocol, as they were ESSENTIAL to the well-being of any future #Arab State

But British had offered VAGUE borders. Immediately after outbreak of #WWI, #McMahon took up the border issue
