#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.

>> 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

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.
"Dear Henry McMahon, just received your letter about the Arab Revolt. Excited to work together to kick out the Ottomans! #ArabRevolt #LetTheGamesBegin - Hussein bin Ali, Sharif of Mecca"
Jul 14, 1915 - Beginning of the McMahon–Hussein Correspondence between Hussein bin Ali, Sharif of Mecca and the British official Henry McMahon concerning the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McMahon%E2%80%93Hussein_Correspondence
#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
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
⬆️ 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!
