Given that #Palestine has not been free since 1517 (They were under the #TurkishYoke), I'd love to read up on the history of #Palestinian struggle for freedom PRIOR to 1947.
Got some good history references?

"…UNTIL #Israel came into existence in 1947".

There was no independent #Palestine before #BalfourDeclaration.
There wasn’t going to be one even if no #Balfour Declaration.
#TurkishYoke Palestinians would still be under a yoke, but of a different #MENA country. They're "marginalized" because they let others fight #inTheirName. #PanArabism

>> …#Jews… left #Palestine a thousand years ago. They never ruled it…
Not "left." Driven out.
>> #Palestinians never put their land up for sale.
It wasn't "their" land to begin with. They came from #Crete in #Greece.
Palestinians have not "ruled" that land for 500+ years being under the #TurkishYoke since 1517.
>> This is just another #Crusade but this time control over #oil is involved.
The disputed land is SO RICH in OIL 🙄

>> You mean when #Europe gave #Israel the state that #Palestine had?
There's a reason why the description of "Politically and geopolitically ignorant and morally bankrupt #eejits" stings. Truth!
Palestinians have not had a "state" in 500+ years. Since 1517 and until #WWI, they were oppressed under the #TurkishYoke.
Instead of watching YouTube videos, crack open a REAL #history book. There are many, or you could start here ➡️ https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/111468900312146738

>> 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

Pretty ambitious coverage of such an expansive topic in ~20 minutes!
Not many people talk about the #Armenian #genocide in which Muslims in the #OttomanEmpire killed so many #Christians.
Even fewer talk about #Turkey's role in sealing the fate of #Palestine when Turkey entered WWI on the side of Central Powers despite British entreaties to exit.
The British repeatedly offered Turkey an opportunity to keep Palestine, which was under a #TurkishYoke since 1517, but Turkey refused
⬆️ >> #Palestinians never fought for freedom
They never fought for freedom despite being under the #TurkishYoke since 1517 the way #Arabs under #Hussein did in 1917.
That’s how Arabs earned their freedom, but Palestinians never did.
Instead, egged on by Arab neighbors, they let the neighbors fight #inTheirName ever since 1947 (and later #Hamas) without taking their destiny in their own hands

You could not defend your day 0 canard, tucked your tail between you hinds, refused to learn history when given a relevant hashtag #TurkishYoke, berated people to search google, and latched on to newer and even more fanciful stories about #USSR existing in many possible worlds
Your friend talks the same, mentioning 2024, but jumping to 3rd millennium flying high on drugs.
You are not worth engaging.

What a shame to invoke day 0, and then tuck your tail in your hinds when challenged
Start with hashtag #TurkishYoke. You can’t get justice today without learning history

Do you want to start in 1517 when the onerous #TurkishYoke fell on the #Arabs in #Palestine?
#Palestinians have not been free in over 500 years. Where on the calendar do you want to start as day zero?
