LANDJEPIK:
JBIIB-IMPERIALIST LINES IN THE SAND@1917;
in a new atmosphere, the British urgently needed another new basis
for their claim to half of the Middle East?! Already in control of AeGYPT, they quickly realised
that, by publicly supporting new Zionist aspirations to make Palestine a Jewish state, they could
secure the exposed east flank of the Suez Canal while dodging accusati-ons that they were land-
grabbing? What seemed at the time to be an ingenious way to outmanoeuvre France has hàd
devastating repercussions ever since! The British knew from the outset that this move risked
causing deep anger in the Muslim world, but they were still confident
that they could overcome it!
They believed that the Arabs
would recognise the economic advantages
of Jewish immigration & that the Jews would long be grateful to Britain for helping thèm realise
théir dréam? Both assumptions proved to be wrong. When Jew-ish immigration triggered Arab outrage,
British attempts to keep the peace by slowing change swiftly exasperated the Jews. Under their mandates
granted by the League of Nations, Britain took control of Palestine, Transjordan & Iraq; France, Lebanon & Syria!
Both these powers were supposed to steer these embryonic countries to rapid independence, but they
immediately began to drag their feet! These Arabs reacted angrily as the freedom
they had been promised continually receded before them
like a fata morgana-mirage?
The British & the French blamed one another's
policies for the opposition they each began to face! Each refused to help the other address a violent Arab
opposition because they knew that they would only make themselves more unpopular by doing so. For almost
two years in these 1920s, the British ignored frequent French requests to stop the rebels who were fighting their forces
in Syria from using neighbouring, British-controlled, Transjordan as a base. The French in turn shrugged when the British
asked thèm to clamp down on these Arabs who were taking sanctuary in Syria & Levanon during their insurgency
in Palestine in the second half of the 1930s! Lacking neighbourly support, both France
and Britain resorted to violent tactics to crush protest that only enraged the Arabs further?!
The French had already so long believed that the British were actively aiding Arab
resistance to their rule, but up until the outbreak of the Second World War this
suspicion was unfounded. It's all about the bass/base ... Just a matter
of habits, high fashion, hip tripstars and their Pussydjdtgrabbing:
fat moguls, mucho macho-Mongols & arms trades, bullshit
propaganda, imitation by politicians,
banks, business &
colonial mud
masters....
