Damascus Protocol

The "ARAB STATE" (green) as promised to the Hashemites by the Protocol of Damascus (1914), later disrupted by the Sykes-Picot agreement and League of nations mandates.

The*Damascus Protocol*was a document given to*Faisal bin Hussein by the Arab secret societies*al-Fatat*and*Al-'Ahd[1]*on his second visit to*Damascus*during a mission to consult Turkish officials in*Constantinople*(1914).
The secret societies declared they would support Faisal's father*Hussein bin Ali's revolt against the*Ottoman Empire, if the demands in the protocol were submitted to the British.
These demands, defining the territory of an independent Arab state to be established in the Middle East that would encompass all of the lands of western Asia,[2]*then became the basis of the conversation in the*Hussein-McMahon Correspondence.

Background

Sayyid Hussein bin Ali, Sharif and Emir of Mecca, King of Hejaz

The Text

As cited by R, John and S. Hadawi's, Palestine Diary, pp.*30–31, the 'Damascus Protocol' stated:"The recognition by Great Britain of the independence of the Arab countries lying within the following frontiers: North: The Line*Mersin_Adana*to parallel 37N. and thence along the line*Birejek-Urga-Mardin-Midiat-Jazirat (Ibn 'Unear)-Amadia*to the Persian frontier; East: The Persian frontier down to the Persian Gulf; South: The Indian Ocean (with the exclusion of Aden, whose status was to be maintained). West: The Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea back to Mersin. The abolition of all exceptional privileges granted to foreigners under the capitulations. The conclusion of a defensive alliance between Great Britain and the future independent Arab State. The grant of economic preference to Great Britain.".[3]

Negotiations with Kitchener

On 5 February 1914 the*Sharif's son*Abdullah*met*Herbert Kitchener, British Governor General of Egypt and the Sudan, in Cairo and asked him whether Hussein could rely on British support in the event of Turkish moves against the*Hejaz.

At this point Kitchener could offer no encouragement,
but two months later Abdullah met with Kitchener's Oriental Secretary,*Sir Ronald Storrs, and was given the assurance that Great Britain would guarantee the status quo in Arabia against "wanton Turkish aggression".[4]
Abdullah I bin al-Hussein, King of Jordan (1949 - 1951) was born in*Mecca, Ottoman Empire (currently Saudi Arabia)British reluctance to oppose the Turks evaporated following the onset of war in August 1914.

Kitchener, now Secretary of State for War, sent a message to Abdullah asking whether the Arabs would support Great Britain if Turkey joined the war on the side of*Germany.
Abdullah responded that the Sharif would support Britain in return for British support against the Turks.[4]Herbert Kitchener, 1st Earl KitchenerBy the time of Kitchener's reply in October the Turks had joined the Germans, Kitchener now stated that if the Amir and the 'Arab Nation' supported Britain in the war, the British would recognise and support the independence of the Amirate and of the Arabs and, further, would guarantee Arabia against external aggression. And then Kitchener gratuitously and on his own authority added a phrase that would generate controversy in*London*and the*Middle East*for years to come. 'It may be,' he concluded, 'that an Arab of the true race will assume the*Caliphate*at*Mecca*or*Medina*and so good may come by the help of God out of all the evil that is now occurring'.[5]In his reply Hussein did not mention the Caliphate but said that he could not immediately break with the Turks because of his position in*Islam.

The Turks declare*Jihad

On 11 November 1914 the Turks declared a*jihad*against the*Entente*(Allies of World War I) and urged the Arab leader*Husayn bin Ali,*Sharif of Mecca, to support the call and to contribute troops to their forces.[5]

Shortly after this declaration Hussein was approached by a representative of the Arab secret societies al-Fatat and Al-'Ahd who came to*Mecca*in January 1915 with the aim of persuading the Sharif to become leader of a revolt against the Ottomans. At the same time Hussein's eldest son*Ali bin Hussein*uncovered a Turkish plot to depose the Sharif in favour of*Ali Haidar,[5]*head of the dispossessed Motallib branch of the Sharifian family.[6]*Hussein ordered his son*Faisal*to confront the*Grand Vizier*in*Constantinople*with evidence of the plot, but also to stop in*Damascus*to explore the viability of a revolt with the leaders of the secret socieities, which he did on 26 March 1915.

After a month of talks Faisal was unconvinced of the strength of the Arab movement and concluded that a revolt would not succeed without the assistance of one of the*Great Powers.
On reaching Constantinople in April and receiving the news that an Arab declaration of*jihad*was viewed as essential by the Turks Faisal became equally concerned about his family's position in the*Hejaz.[5]

On his return journey Faisal visited Damascus to resume talks with al-Fatat and Al-'Ahd and joined their revolutionary movement.

It was during this visit that Faisal was presented with the document that became known as the 'Damascus Protocol'. The document declared that the Arabs would revolt in alliance with*Great Britain*in return for recognition of Arab independence in an area running from the*37th parallel north*on the southern border of*Turkey, bounded in the east by*Persia*and the*Persian Gulf, in the west by the*Mediterranean Seaand in the south by the*Arabian Sea.[7]

Meeting at Ta'if

Following deliberations at*Ta'if*between Hussein and his sons in June 1915, during which Faisal counselled caution, Ali argued against rebellion and Abdullah advocated action, the Sharif set a tentative date for armed revolt for June 1916 and commenced negotiations with the British High Commissioner in Egypt,*Sir Henry McMahon*via the*Hussein-McMahon Correspondence.[7]

Al-Fatat*or*the Young Arab Society*(Arabic:*جمعية العربية الفتاة‎, Jam’iyat al-’Arabiya al-Fatat)
Was founded in Paris in 1911 by*Arab nationalist,*Izzat Darwaza*(1888–1984).
It was a secret*Arab*nationalist organization under the*Ottoman Empire. Its aims were to gain independence and unity for various Arab territories then under the Ottoman rule. It found adherents in areas such as*Syria. The organization maintained contacts with the reform movement in the Ottoman and included many radicals and revolutionaries, such as Abd al-Mirzai.[1]

*They were closely linked to the Al-Ahd, or*Covenant Society, who had members in positions within the military, most were quickly dismissed after*Enver Pasha*gained control in*Turkey.
This organization's parallel in activism were the*Young Turks, who had a similar agenda that pertained to Turkish nationalism.

McMahon–Hussein Correspondence

The*McMahon–Hussein Correspondence, or the*Hussein–McMahon Correspondence, was an exchange of letters (14 July 1915 to 30 January 1916)[1]*during*World War I, between the*Sharif of Mecca,*Husayn bin Ali, and*Sir Henry McMahon, British*High Commissioner*in*Egypt, concerning the political status of lands under the*Ottoman Empire.
The Arab side was already looking toward a large revolt against the Ottoman Empire; the British encouraged the Arabs to revolt and thus hamper the*Ottoman Empire, which had become a German ally in the War after November 1914.[2]
The letters declared that the Arabs would revolt in alliance with the United Kingdom, and in return the UK would recognize Arab independence.
Later, the 1916*Sykes–Picot Agreement*between France and UK was exposed showing that the two countries were planning to split and occupy parts of the promised Arab country.The matter is discussed in*the Peel report of 1937.[3]


Following deliberations at*Ta'if*between Hussein and his sons in June 1915, during which*Faisal*counselled caution,*Sherif Husayn bin Ali*argued against rebellion and*Abdullah*advocated action and encouraged his father to enter into correspondence with*Sir Henry McMahon, the Sharif set a tentative date for armed revolt for June 1916 and commenced negotiations with the British High Commissioner in Egypt, Sir Henry McMahon.[4]

Next we'll look at the role of zio-egypt and zio-brit covert support for jewish immigration to and property acquisition in Palestine.
(bearing in mind that the term philistine was being newly trended by colonialists - the psychological effect it would have on bible readers globally was obvious) -and the overt british support for the ottomon empire against zio-egypt where the common people were against proscription into the army against the ottomans to the extent that they were attacking jews who sided with the egyptian government.

It becomes apparent that there was huge concern about britain's true objectives and promises in the middle east - the zionist land purchase scheme which was covertly and overtly attempting to create a recognised state - which had seemed like a mirage until ww2.
Fact is the zionists were having problems trying to persuade world leaders into accepting an illegal occupation as a state and persuading jews to mass migrate and justify a state bid - until ww2.
With the desperate ottomans siding with germany, and hitler's ensuing drama, an international political and military coup was achieved.

World public opinion turned against Britain as a result of the British policy of preventing*Holocaust*survivors from reaching Palestine, sending them instead to*Cyprus internment camps, or even back to*Germany, as in the case of*Exodus 1947.

The costs of maintaining an army of over 100,000 men in Palestine weighed heavily on a British economy suffering from post-war depression, and was another cause for British public opinion to demand an end to the Mandate.[240]

Rapid deterioration due to the actions of the Jewish paramilitary organizations (Hagana,*Irgun*and*Lehi), involving attacks on strategic installations (by all three) as well as on British forces and officials (by the Irgun and Lehi). This caused severe damage to British morale and prestige, as well as increasing opposition to the mandate in Britain itself, public opinion demanding to "bring the boys home".[citation needed]

The U.S. Congress was delaying a loan necessary to prevent British bankruptcy. The delays were in response to the British refusal to fulfill a promise given to Truman that 100,000 Holocaust survivors would be allowed to emigrate to Palestine.[citation needed]

In early 1947 the British Government announced their desire to terminate the Mandate, and asked the*United Nations General Assembly*to make recommendations regarding the future of the country.[241]*
The British Administration declined to accept the responsibility for implementing any solution that wasn't acceptable to both the Jewish and the Arab communities, or to allow other authorities to take over responsibility for public security prior to the termination of its mandate on 15 May 1948.[242]

Looks like either the British were way out of their depth after making a mess - at which they appeared to wash their hands and let someone else break all their empty promises.

Or, along with their partners in crime, were weaving a very tangled web that they think they understood - but which Allah understood completely and soundly.

Watch the falsehood come crashing down - and the people enter Allah's way in crowds.
