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.
In 1911, #Jerusalem’s population was 67% #Jews (indigenous & #European transplants), 15% #Christians, & 12% #Muslims
#Zionism as a movement didn't gather steam until AFTER #WWI.
In 1913, #Zionist diplomat Nahum #Sokolow pitched to #British that the movement aspired to "till the soil of #Palestine," but the British rebuffed him because #Arabs & #OldTurks in #Turkey, a friendly power, opposed the #Jewish #nationalist movement
Soon afterward, #Europe descended into WWI
