The dispute regarding the extent of the coastal EXCLUSION in the #McMahonHusseinCorrespondence is at the heart of the #Israeli-#Palestinian conflict. #Zionism is just an adjunct to the conflict, not the primary reason.

#Britain excluded #Districts of #Mersina & #Alexandretta, portions of #Syria west of the districts of #Damascus, #Hama, #Homs & #Aleppo.

They reserved the right to administrative control in the #Vilayets of #Baghdad and #Basra because of their interests in #British #India.

I just started this article by Patricia Crone about 9th Century Muslim anarchists from Basra. I haven't even got to the Muslims yet and already learned something new! Of course once I read that it's not obvious that human society can exist without government I can see that it's not, which means it had to occur to someone at some point. Apparently in the Western philosophical tradition The stoics were among the first to see this.
