Ottomans, though Muslim, were not Arabs. So what? They WERE the legitmate rulers of Palestine and the Palestinians were hardly in a state of revolt such as they are against Isreal. That other Muslim in other places supported the Raj who was not the UK but a client king, is irrelevent. No one stabbed them in the back. They weren’t trying to liberate Palestine from the Ottomans. You can make excuses all day long if you want to. And those who served the Raj had no problem separating after WWII. That wasn’t loyalty, that was a paycheck. You mention the south Asians, the one and only Ghurka I ever met was very proud of his service. Stick to your own complaints, let others raise theirs.


Or when you say Raj do you mean the UK? If thats the case, it still makes no difference, the UK fought the Ottomans. Palestinians weren’t in a state of revolt against the Ottomans. It was a prize of war. The last two links were to events that happened DURING WWI. Big deal, you were losing and thought you’d get out while you could. Once the war starts, it isn’t possible that you can just withdraw with no penalty unless your enemy lets you. What he tried in 1916 is the equivelent of a shoplifter trying to pay for what he tried to steal after he got caught. Two years into a war they decide they don’t like it so that is supposed to matter to their enemies? Silly idea. They wouldn’t have complained if they had been winning. Notice they didn’t complain in 1914.


You make a pretty racist claim. Palestine for Arabs. It isn’t even about your faith anymore is it?

The Royal Indian Mutiny happened AFTER WWII. More than 30 years after the events involving the Ottomans. And it was the Royal Indian Navy of India, which was also seeking independence, not Palestine.
