The Suez Canal is an artificial sea-level waterway in Egypt. It was opened in 1869 after 10 years of construction. It enables ship transport between Europe and Asia via the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. Britain viewed the Suez Canal as the "Lifeline of the Empire" because it allowed quicker access to its colonies in Asia and Africa.
In 1911, Muslim intellectuals and politicians from throughout the Levant formed al-Fatat ("the Young Arab Society"), a small Arab nationalist club, in Paris. Its stated aim was "raising the level of the Arab nation to the level of modern nations." In the first few years of its existence, al-Fatat called for greater autonomy within a unified Ottoman state rather than Arab independence from the empire. Al-Fatat hosted the Arab Congress of 1913 in Paris, the purpose of which was to discuss desired reforms with other dissenting individuals from the Arab world. They also requested that Arab conscripts to the Ottoman army not be required to serve in non-Arab regions except in time of war. However, as the Ottoman authorities cracked down on the organization's activities and members, al-Fatat went underground and demanded the complete independence and unity of the Arab provinces. Nationalist individuals became more prominent during the waning years of Ottoman authority, but the idea of Arab nationalism had virtually no impact on the majority of Arabs as they considered themselves loyal subjects of the Ottoman Empire.
The Sykes-Picot Agreement, officially known as the Asia Minor Agreement, was a secret agreement between the governments of the United Kingdom and France, with the assent of Russia, defining their proposed spheres of influence and control in the Middle East should the Triple Entente succeed in defeating the Ottoman Empire during World War I. The negotiation of the treaty occurred between November 1915 and March 1916. The agreement was concluded on 16 May 1916. The agreement effectively divided the Arab provinces of the Ottoman Empire outside the Arabian peninsula into areas of future British and French control or influence. The terms were negotiated by the French diplomat François Georges-Picot and British Sir Mark Sykes.

There is no evidence to suggest that Sharif Hussein bin Ali was inclined to "Arab Nationalism" before 1916, however the rise of "Turkish Nationalism" in the Ottoman Empire, that culminated in the 1908 Young Turks revolution displeased the Hashemites and resulted in a rift between them and the new government. During World War I, Hussein initially remained allied with the Ottomans but began secret negotiations with the British on the advice of his son, Abdullah, who had served in the Ottoman parliament up to 1914 and was convinced that it was necessary to separate from the increasingly nationalistic Ottoman administration.
Starting in 1915, as indicated by letters of the British representative, Henry McMahon. The Secretary of State for War, Lord Kitchener, appealed to Hussein for assistance in the conflict on the side of the Triple Entente. Hussein demanded recognition of an Arab nation that included the Hejaz and other adjacent territories as well as approval for the proclamation of an Arab Caliphate of Islam. McMahon accepted and assured him that his assistance would be rewarded by an Arab empire encompassing the entire span between Egypt and Persia, with the exception of imperial possessions and interests in Kuwait, Aden, and the Syrian coast. But after protracted negotiations, with neither side committing to clear terms, including on key matters such as the fate of Palestine, Hussein became impatient and commenced with what would become known as The Great Arab Revolt against Ottoman control in 1916.

03:43 & 07:10 23 May 1939 - The White Paper of 1939 was in favour of creating an independent Palestine governed by Palestinian Arabs and Jews in proportion to their numbers in the population and a limit of 75,000 Jewish immigrants was set for the five-year period 1940-1944.
11:15 ~1930 - Izz ad-Din al-Qassam was a Muslim preacher who was a leader in the fight against British, French, and Zionist organizations. Born in Syria, he later immigrated to British Mandate Palestine. In 1930 al-Qassam's preaching was instrumental in laying the foundations for the formation of the Black Hand (al kaff al-aswad), an anti-Zionist, anti-British militant organization. By 1935 he had organized military training for peasants and recruited several hundred men,-the figures differ, from 200 to 800,- organized in cells of 5 men. The cells were equipped with bombs and firearms, which they used to raid Jewish settlements and to sabotage British-constructed rail lines. Though striking a responsive chord among the rural poor and urban underclass, his movement deeply perturbed the Muslim urban elite as it threatened their political and patronage connections with the British Mandatory authorities. A British police manhunt eventually surrounded al-Qassam in a cave near Ya'bad, in the village of Sheikh Zeid and in the ensuing firefight al-Qassam was killed on 20 November 1935.
02:46 & 03:30 & 17:10 19 April 1936 - Haj Amin al-Husseini, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, after a wave of protest strikes and attacks against both the British authorities and Jews was unleashed in Palestine. and with the initial riots being led by Farhan al-Sa'di, and after his arrest and execution, upon al-Husseini's initiative, the leaders of Palestinian Arab clans formed the Arab Higher Committee under the Mufti's chairmanship. The Committee called for nonpayment of taxes after 15 May 1936 and for a general strike of Arab workers and businesses, demanding an end to the Jewish immigration. In 1937, evading an arrest warrant, he fled Palestine.
13:27 21 October 1937 - Sir Charles Tegart,was a colonial police officer in Mandatory Palestine sent to advise the Inspector General on matters of security. In due course he advised the construction of a large number of reinforced concrete police stations and posts which could be defended against attack, and of a frontier fence along the northern border of Palestine to control the movement of insurgents, goods and weapons. His recommendations were accepted and some 50 new "Tegart forts", as they came to be known, were built throughout Palestine, some of them are still in use by Israeli forces. It is recorded that his interrogation suspects underwent brutal questioning, involving humiliation and the practice of falaka (beating prisoners on the soles of their feet).
14:30 ~1936 - Orde Wingate was sent to Palestine as a Captain in military intelligence. Wingate was a Christian Zionists and saw the creation of a Jewish State in Palestine as a religious duty towards the literal fulfillment of Christian prophecy and he immediately put himself into an absolute alliance with Jewish political leaders. Wingate initiated a plan to create small mobile units of elite volunteers. A report he submitted , on June 5th, 1938, entitled : "Appreciation of the possibilities of night movements by armed forces of the Crown with the object of putting an end to terrorism in Northern Palestine" detailed his plan.
The 1936--1939 Arab revolt in Palestine was a nationalist uprising by Palestinian Arabs in Mandatory Palestine against British colonial rule, motivated by opposition to mass Jewish immigration.The revolt consisted of two distinct phases. The first phase was directed primarily by the urban and elitist Higher Arab Committee (HAC) and was focused mainly on strikes and other forms of political protest. By October 1936, this phase had been defeated by the British civil administration using a combination of political concessions, international diplomacy (involving the rulers of Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Transjordan and Yemen) and the threat of martial law. The second phase, which began late in 1937, was a violent and peasant-led resistance movement that increasingly targeted British forces. During this phase, the rebellion was brutally suppressed by the British Army and the Palestine Police Force using repressive measures that were intended to intimidate the Arab population and undermine popular support for the revolt.

http://janson.com Early in the war, Allied agents contact Sherif Hussein, one of the key tribal leaders in Arabia. The British have heard about a nationalist movement gaining strength across the desert. They want to use Arab nationalism as a weapon in the war against the Turks. The British urge Hussein to join the Allies and lead an Arab Revolt in the desert.

The Arab Revolt began fully on June 10th 1916 when Grand Sharif Hussein bin Ali, the guardian of the holy city of Mecca, ordered his troops to attack the Ottoman Caliphate’s garrison in the city. Hussein’s troops, drawn from his tribe, significantly outnumbered the Ottoman soldiers but were considerably less well equipped. Consequently, despite impressive initial gains, Hussein’s troops were unable to win the battle until Egyptian troops sent by the British arrived to provide artillery support.
Through correspondence with Sir Henry McMahon, the British High Commissioner of Egypt at the time, Hussein had become convinced that the Revolt would be rewarded with an independent Arabian empire stretching through the Middle East. The British supported the Revolt as it distracted tens of thousands of Ottoman troops from joining other fronts in the First World War.
Captain T. E. Lawrence, known as Lawrence of Arabia for his involvement in the Revolt, did not join with the Arab forces until October 1916. Although he was just one of many British and French officers who worked closely with the Arabs during the Revolt, newspaper reports of his guerrilla tactics and close relationship with Hussein’s sons Faisal and Abdullah earned him fame.
The Revolt was an enormous success, but the outcome was not what was agreed in the Hussein-McMahon Correspondence. The British and French instead divided the land according to the secret Sykes-Picot Agreement that they had negotiated between themselves in 1916. Hussein was given the Hejaz region in the Arabian Peninsula, but was defeated in 1925 by Ibn Saud.

History: The Tafilah region has been inhabited since the Stone Age proved by the stone tools found in the area. The Edom civilization inhabited the area and named the city Tophel. The Nabataen capital was Petra but their empire extended to Tafilah. The current city of Tafilah was founded in 1100 BC. It is also well-known for the part it played in the Great Arab Revolt under T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) who fought the Ottoman forces with Prince Zeid bin Hussein.
Geography: Tafilah is located 183 kilometers southwest of Amman. It has very rich and fertile soil with a large number grape-vines and olive and fig trees.
Demography: Tafilah has 6 districts with a population of around 91,400 as of 2013. 26,100 live in rural communities while 65,300 live in urban areas.
Tourism: More than 350 natural springs are found in the Tafilah area, some of which are hot and have high mineral content with therapeutic properties. The nature reserves of Tafilah also attract local and international tourists but their numbers are relatively low since Tafilah is far from the main transport routes.
تاريخيا: كانت المدينة مأهولة بالسكان منذ العصور القديمة ويعود ذلك بسبب تواجد الالواح الحجرية في هذه المنطقه والتي يرجع تاريخها الى العصر الحجري. حيث سكنت حضارة الأدوميين في المنطقة وأطلقوا عليها اسم توفل. تأسست المدينة الحالية في عام 1100 قبل الميلاد. كما تشتهر مدينة الطفيلة بالدور الذي لعبته في الثورة العربية تحت قيادة تي ايه لورانس (لورانس العرب) الذي حارب القوات العثمانية مع الأمير زيد بن الحسين.
جغرافيا: تقع المدينة 183 كيلومترا جنوب غرب عمان. وتتمتع بتربة خصبة غنية جدا مكونه من أشجار الزيتون والتين، والعنب.
ديموغرافيا: يبلغ عدد السكان حوالي 39.000 ولديها 6 مقاطعات.
سياحيا: تم العثور على أكثر من 350 من الينابيع الطبيعية في منطقة الطفيلة، وبعض من هذه الينابيع بها مياه ساخنة وبها مياه معدنية عالية الجودة. ويزور معظم السياح المدينة للاستفادة من الينابيع الساخنة التي لها خصائص علاجية. وتلعب المحميات الطبيعية في الطفيلة أيضا دورا كبيرا في جذب السياح المحليين والدوليين ولكن عددهم قليل نسبيا وذلك لكون المدينة بعيدة عن طرق النقل الرئيسية.
“Rebellions can be made by 2 percent actively in the striking force and 98 percent passively sympathetic” (T. E. Lawrence)
"Lawrence trained himself, throughout most of his youth, to be a great hero," Korda tells NPR's Neal Conan. "He had in mind the liberation of Arabia." Not only did Lawrence strongly advocate for it, "but he also went through every possible training that he could inflict on himself to play that role," says Korda.
"He didn't wander into the desert by accident, and emerge out of it as a hero. He wandered into the desert deliberately."

The Arab revolt 1916-1918 الثورة العربية
WORLD WAR I: 100 YEARS AGO
“The foreigners come out here always to teach,” he wrote his parents from Carchemish, “whereas they had much better learn.”
It was at Carchemish that Lawrence first came to despise the despotism of Ottoman Turkey, and to imagine an independent Arab nation with Syria at its heart; today, of course, Turkey is a democracy while Syria is in the grips of an unspeakably savage civil war. Karkamis, where the town’s sleepiness gives way to a tinge of menace, sits at the very dividing line between those two realities.
The hilltop sprawl of Hittite ruins is now a Turkish police post, off-limits to visitors, while at the base of that hill a 15-foot-high concrete wall topped with concertina wire has recently been erected. On the other side of that wall, in the Syrian town of Jarabulus, fly the black-and-white war flags of a rebel group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIS, an Islamic fundamentalist faction so murderous and extreme it has been disavowed by its former umbrella organization, al-Qaeda. In Karkamis’ grim little park, idle Syrian men who managed to escape tell of family and friends being butchered at the hands of ISIS, of how Jarabulus has become a ghost town.
Having used his time in Carchemish to study the clan and tribal structure of Arab society, Lawrence intuitively grasped the delicate negotiating process necessary to win tribal leaders over to the rebel cause. What’s more, waging war in early 20th-century Arabia revolved around the same primal issues—where an army on the move might find water and forage for its animals—as the wars of 14th-century Europe that Lawrence had so thoroughly studied at Oxford. Very quickly, Faisal came to regard the young British officer as one of his most trusted advisers, as Lawrence, donning the robes of an Arab sheik, assumed a position of honor in tribal strategy sessions. With British naval help, the Arabs captured a succession of Turkish-held towns along the Red Sea coast, while Lawrence organized guerrilla raids against the inland Hejaz Railway.

The King of Syria, was the title briefly used following the partitioning of the Ottoman Empire in the aftermath of World War I. Faysal ibn Husayn of the House of Hashim was proclaimed King of Greater Syria on 8 March 1920 in Damascus, following the Arab revolt against the Ottomans of 1916--1918.
His accession was not recognized by France or the United Kingdom, the two new imperial powers in the region, and on 23 July 1920 the French moved 9000 troops towards Damascus resulting in the Battle of Maysalun. Faisal was expelled from Syria on 25 July and took exile in the United Kingdom. On 10 August, the Treaty of Sèvres divided the region into League of Nations mandates governed by France and the United Kingdom. Following mass revolts in Mesopotamia, the British government decided to step back from direct administration and create a monarchy to head Iraq while they maintained the mandate. Faisal agreed to become King following a referendum showing 96% in favour, and on 23 August 1921, Faisal was crowned King of Iraq.

The Al-Saud family had been in exile since 1893 following the disintegration of the Second Saudi State and the rise of Jebel Shammar under the Al Rashid clan. In 1902, Ibn Saud recaptured Riyadh, the Al Saud dynasty's former capital. He went on to subdue the rest of Nejd, Al-Hasa, Jebel Shammar, Asir, and Hejaz (location of the Muslim holy cities of Mecca and Medina) between 1913 and 1926. The resultant polity was named the Kingdom of Nejd and Hejaz from 1927 until it was further consolidated with Al-Hasa and Qatif into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932.
The Treaty of Darin, or the Darin Pact, of 1915 was between the United Kingdom and Abdul-Aziz Al Saud (Ibn Saud) ruler of Nejd, The Treaty made the lands of the House of Saud a British protectorate and attempted to define its boundaries. The British aim of the treaty was to guarantee the sovereignty of Kuwait, Qatar and the Trucial States. Abdul-Aziz agreed not to attack these British protectorates, but gave no undertaking that he would not attack the Sharif of Mecca.
The Treaty of Jeddah (1927), superseded the Treaty of Darin (1915) and was signed on May 20, 1927, between King Abdul Aziz and the United Kingdom. It recognized the sovereignty of King Abdul Aziz over what was then known as the Kingdom of Hejaz and Nejd; these regions were unified into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932. In return, King Abdul Aziz would hold back his forces from attacking and harassing neighbouring British Protectorates.

The Arab Revolt (1916–1918) (Arabic: الثورة العربية Al-Thawra al-`Arabiyya) (Turkish: Arap İsyanı) was initiated by the Sherif Hussein bin Ali with the aim of securing independence from the ruling Ottoman Turks and creating a single unified Arab state spanning from Aleppo in Syria to Aden in Yemen.
The rise of nationalism under the Ottoman Empire goes back to 1821. Arab nationalism has its roots in the Mashriq (the Arabs lands east of Egypt), particularly in countries of Sham (the Levant). The political orientation of Arab nationalists in the years prior to the Great War was generally moderate.
The Young Turk Revolution began on 3 July 1908 and quickly spread throughout the empire, resulting in the sultan's announcement of the restoration of the 1876 constitution and the reconvening of parliament. This period is known as the Second Constitutional Era. The Arabs' demands were of a reformist nature, limited in general to autonomy, greater use of Arabic in education, and changes in conscription in the Ottoman Empire in peacetime for Arab conscripts that allowed local service in the Ottoman army. In the elections held in 1908, the Young Turks through their Committee of Union and Progress (CUP) managed to gain the upper hand against the rival group led by Prens Sabahaddin. The CUP was more liberal in outlook, bore a strong British imprint, and was closer to the Sultan. The new parliament comprised 142 Turks, 60 Arabs, 25 Albanians, 23 Greeks, 12 Armenians (including four Dashnaks and two Hunchas), 5 Jews, 4 Bulgarians, 3 Serbs, and 1 Vlach. The CUP in the Ottoman parliament gave more emphasis to centralization and a modernization programme. At this stage Arab nationalism was not yet a mass movement, even in Syria where it was strongest. Many Arabs gave their primary loyalty to their religion or sect, their tribe, or their own particular governments. The ideologies of Ottomanism and Pan-Islamism were strong competitors of Arab nationalism.

King Abdul-Aziz of Saudi Arabia (1876 – 9 November 1953) (Arabic: عبد العزيز آل سعود ‘Abd al-‘Azīz Āl Su‘ūd) was the first monarch of Saudi Arabia, the third Saudi State. He was usually called Ibn Saud in English-speaking countries.
Beginning with the reconquest of his family's ancestral home city of Riyadh in 1902, he consolidated his control over the Najd in 1922, then conquered the Hijaz in 1925. Having conquered almost all of central Arabia, he united his dominions into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932. As King, he presided over the discovery of petroleum in Saudi Arabia in 1938 and the beginning of large-scale oil exploitation after World War II. He was the father of many children having 45 sons, including all of the subsequent kings of Saudi Arabia.
Abdul-Aziz was born in 1876 in Riyadh, in the region of Najd in central Arabia.
In 1890, the Al Rashid conquered Riyadh. Abdul-Aziz was 15 at the time. He and his family initially took refuge with the Al-Murrah, a Bedouin tribe in the southern desert of Saudi Arabia. Later, the Al Sauds moved to Kuwait.

World War I (WWI), which was predominantly called the World War or the Great War from its occurrence until 1939 (World War II), and the First World War or World War I thereafter, was a major war centred in Europe that began on 28 July 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918. It involved all the world's great powers, which were assembled in two opposing alliances: the Allies (based on the Triple Entente of the United Kingdom, France and Russia) and the Central Powers (originally centred around the Triple Alliance of Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy; but, as Austria–Hungary had taken the offensive against the agreement, Italy did not enter into the war). These alliances both reorganised (Italy fought for the Allies), and expanded as more nations entered the war. Ultimately more than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, were mobilised in one of the largest wars in history. More than 9 million combatants were killed, largely because of enormous increases in lethality of weapons, thanks to new technology, without corresponding improvements in protection or mobility. It was the sixth-deadliest conflict in world history, subsequently paving the way for various political changes such as revolutions in the nations involved.

The Sykes--Picot Agreement, officially known as the Asia Minor Agreement, was a secret agreement between the governments of the United Kingdom and France, with the assent of Russia, defining their proposed spheres of influence and control in the Middle East should the Triple Entente succeed in defeating the Ottoman Empire during World War I. The negotiation of the treaty occurred between November 1915 and March 1916. The agreement was concluded on 16 May 1916. The agreement effectively divided the Arab provinces of the Ottoman Empire outside the Arabian peninsula into areas of future British and French control or influence. The terms were negotiated by the French diplomat François Georges-Picot and British Sir Mark Sykes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sykes-Picot_Agreement The Balfour Declaration (dated 2 November 1917) was a letter from the United Kingdom's Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour to Walter Rothschild, a leader of the British Jewish community, for transmission to the Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balfour_Declaration -

Born in Syria, he later immigrated to British Mandate Palestine. In 1930 al-Qassam's preaching was instrumental in laying the foundations for the formation of the Black Hand (al kaff al-aswad), an anti-Zionist, anti-British militant organization. By 1935 he had organized military training for peasants and recruited several hundred men,-the figures differ, from 200 to 800,- organized in cells of 5 men. The cells were equipped with bombs and firearms, which they used to raid Jewish settlements and to sabotage British-constructed rail lines. Though striking a responsive chord among the rural poor and urban underclass, his movement deeply perturbed the Muslim urban elite as it threatened their political and patronage connections with the British Mandatory authorities. A British police manhunt eventually surrounded al-Qassam in a cave near Ya'bad, in the village of Sheikh Zeid and in the ensuing firefight al-Qassam was killed on 20 November 1935. 02:46 & 03:30 & 17:10 19 April 1936 - Haj Amin al-Husseini, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, after a wave of protest strikes and attacks against both the British authorities and Jews was unleashed in Palestine. and with the initial riots being led by Farhan al-Sa'di, and after his arrest and execution, upon al-Husseini's initiative, the leaders of Palestinian Arab clans formed the Arab Higher Committee under the Mufti's chairmanship. The Committee called for nonpayment of taxes after 15 May 1936 and for a general strike of Arab workers and businesses, demanding an end to the Jewish immigration. In 1937, evading an arrest warrant, he fled Palestine. 13:27 21 October 1937 - Sir Charles Tegart,was a colonial police officer in Mandatory Palestine sent to advise the Inspector General on matters of security. In due course he advised the construction of a large number of reinforced concrete police stations and posts which could be defended against attack, and of a frontier fence along the northern border of Palestine to control the movement of insurgents, goods and weapons. His recommendations were accepted and some 50 new "Tegart forts", as they came to be known, were built throughout Palestine, some of them are still in use by Israeli forces. It is recorded that his interrogation suspects underwent brutal questioning, involving humiliation and the practice of falaka (beating prisoners on the soles of their feet). 14:30 ~1936 - Orde Wingate was sent to Palestine as a Captain in military intelligence. Wingate was a Christian Zionists and saw the creation of a Jewish State in Palestine as a religious duty towards the literal fulfillment of Christian prophecy and he immediately put himself into an absolute alliance with Jewish political leaders. Wingate initiated a plan to create small mobile units of elite volunteers. A report he submitted , on June 5th, 1938, entitled : "Appreciation of the possibilities of night movements by armed forces of the Crown with the object of putting an end to terrorism in Northern Palestine" detailed his plan. The 1936--1939 Arab revolt in Palestine was a nationalist uprising by Palestinian Arabs in Mandatory Palestine against British colonial rule, motivated by opposition to mass Jewish immigration.The revolt consisted of two distinct phases. The first phase was directed primarily by the urban and elitist Higher Arab Committee (HAC) and was focused mainly on strikes and other forms of political protest. By October 1936, this phase had been defeated by the British civil administration using a combination of political concessions, international diplomacy (involving the rulers of Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Transjordan and Yemen) and the threat of martial law. The second phase, which began late in 1937, was a violent and peasant-led resistance movement that increasingly targeted British forces. During this phase, the rebellion was brutally suppressed by the British Army and the Palestine Police Force using repressive measures that were intended to intimidate the Arab population and undermine popular support for the revolt. -

http://www.HistoryPod.net The Arab Revolt began fully on June 10th 1916 when Grand Sharif Hussein bin Ali, the guardian of the holy city of Mecca, ordered his troops to attack the Ottoman Caliphate’s garrison in the city. Hussein’s troops, drawn from his tribe, significantly outnumbered the Ottoman soldiers but were considerably less well equipped. Consequently, despite impressive initial gains, Hussein’s troops were unable to win the battle until Egyptian troops sent by the British arrived to provide artillery support. Through correspondence with Sir Henry McMahon, the British High Commissioner of Egypt at the time, Hussein had become convinced that the Revolt would be rewarded with an independent Arabian empire stretching through the Middle East. The British supported the Revolt as it distracted tens of thousands of Ottoman troops from joining other fronts in the First World War. Captain T. E. Lawrence, known as Lawrence of Arabia for his involvement in the Revolt, did not join with the Arab forces until October 1916. Although he was just one of many British and French officers who worked closely with the Arabs during the Revolt, newspaper reports of his guerrilla tactics and close relationship with Hussein’s sons Faisal and Abdullah earned him fame. The Revolt was an enormous success, but the outcome was not what was agreed in the Hussein-McMahon Correspondence. The British and French instead divided the land according to the secret Sykes-Picot Agreement that they had negotiated between themselves in 1916. Hussein was given the Hejaz region in the Arabian Peninsula, but was defeated in 1925 by Ibn Saud. -

Source: http://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/201116/lawrence-in-arabia-by-scott-anderson/ History: The Tafilah region has been inhabited since the Stone Age proved by the stone tools found in the area. The Edom civilization inhabited the area and named the city Tophel. The Nabataen capital was Petra but their empire extended to Tafilah. The current city of Tafilah was founded in 1100 BC. It is also well-known for the part it played in the Great Arab Revolt under T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) who fought the Ottoman forces with Prince Zeid bin Hussein. Geography: Tafilah is located 183 kilometers southwest of Amman. It has very rich and fertile soil with a large number grape-vines and olive and fig trees. Demography: Tafilah has 6 districts with a population of around 91,400 as of 2013. 26,100 live in rural communities while 65,300 live in urban areas. Tourism: More than 350 natural springs are found in the Tafilah area, some of which are hot and have high mineral content with therapeutic properties. The nature reserves of Tafilah also attract local and international tourists but their numbers are relatively low since Tafilah is far from the main transport routes. تاريخيا: كانت المدينة مأهولة بالسكان منذ العصور القديمة ويعود ذلك بسبب تواجد الالواح الحجرية في هذه المنطقه والتي يرجع تاريخها الى العصر الحجري. حيث سكنت حضارة الأدوميين في المنطقة وأطلقوا عليها اسم توفل. تأسست المدينة الحالية في عام 1100 قبل الميلاد. كما تشتهر مدينة الطفيلة بالدور الذي لعبته في الثورة العربية تحت قيادة تي ايه لورانس (لورانس العرب) الذي حارب القوات العثمانية مع الأمير زيد بن الحسين. جغرافيا: تقع المدينة 183 كيلومترا جنوب غرب عمان. وتتمتع بتربة خصبة غنية جدا مكونه من أشجار الزيتون والتين، والعنب. ديموغرافيا: يبلغ عدد السكان حوالي 39.000 ولديها 6 مقاطعات. سياحيا: تم العثور على أكثر من 350 من الينابيع الطبيعية في منطقة الطفيلة، وبعض من هذه الينابيع بها مياه ساخنة وبها مياه معدنية عالية الجودة. ويزور معظم السياح المدينة للاستفادة من الينابيع الساخنة التي لها خصائص علاجية. وتلعب المحميات الطبيعية في الطفيلة أيضا دورا كبيرا في جذب السياح المحليين والدوليين ولكن عددهم قليل نسبيا وذلك لكون المدينة بعيدة عن طرق النقل الرئيسية. “Rebellions can be made by 2 percent actively in the striking force and 98 percent passively sympathetic” (T. E. Lawrence) "Lawrence trained himself, throughout most of his youth, to be a great hero," Korda tells NPR's Neal Conan. "He had in mind the liberation of Arabia." Not only did Lawrence strongly advocate for it, "but he also went through every possible training that he could inflict on himself to play that role," says Korda. "He didn't wander into the desert by accident, and emerge out of it as a hero. He wandered into the desert deliberately." -

The Arab revolt 1916-1918 الثورة العربية WORLD WAR I: 100 YEARS AGO “The foreigners come out here always to teach,” he wrote his parents from Carchemish, “whereas they had much better learn.” It was at Carchemish that Lawrence first came to despise the despotism of Ottoman Turkey, and to imagine an independent Arab nation with Syria at its heart; today, of course, Turkey is a democracy while Syria is in the grips of an unspeakably savage civil war. Karkamis, where the town’s sleepiness gives way to a tinge of menace, sits at the very dividing line between those two realities. The hilltop sprawl of Hittite ruins is now a Turkish police post, off-limits to visitors, while at the base of that hill a 15-foot-high concrete wall topped with concertina wire has recently been erected. On the other side of that wall, in the Syrian town of Jarabulus, fly the black-and-white war flags of a rebel group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIS, an Islamic fundamentalist faction so murderous and extreme it has been disavowed by its former umbrella organization, al-Qaeda. In Karkamis’ grim little park, idle Syrian men who managed to escape tell of family and friends being butchered at the hands of ISIS, of how Jarabulus has become a ghost town. Having used his time in Carchemish to study the clan and tribal structure of Arab society, Lawrence intuitively grasped the delicate negotiating process necessary to win tribal leaders over to the rebel cause. What’s more, waging war in early 20th-century Arabia revolved around the same primal issues—where an army on the move might find water and forage for its animals—as the wars of 14th-century Europe that Lawrence had so thoroughly studied at Oxford. Very quickly, Faisal came to regard the young British officer as one of his most trusted advisers, as Lawrence, donning the robes of an Arab sheik, assumed a position of honor in tribal strategy sessions. With British naval help, the Arabs captured a succession of Turkish-held towns along the Red Sea coast, while Lawrence organized guerrilla raids against the inland Hejaz Railway.

Faysal ibn Husayn of the House of Hashim was proclaimed King of Greater Syria on 8 March 1920 in Damascus, following the Arab revolt against the Ottomans of 1916--1918. His accession was not recognized by France or the United Kingdom, the two new imperial powers in the region, and on 23 July 1920 the French moved 9000 troops towards Damascus resulting in the Battle of Maysalun. Faisal was expelled from Syria on 25 July and took exile in the United Kingdom. On 10 August, the Treaty of Sèvres divided the region into League of Nations mandates governed by France and the United Kingdom. Following mass revolts in Mesopotamia, the British government decided to step back from direct administration and create a monarchy to head Iraq while they maintained the mandate. Faisal agreed to become King following a referendum showing 96% in favour, and on 23 August 1921, Faisal was crowned King of Iraq. -

The Al-Saud family had been in exile since 1893 following the disintegration of the Second Saudi State and the rise of Jebel Shammar under the Al Rashid clan. In 1902, Ibn Saud recaptured Riyadh, the Al Saud dynasty's former capital. He went on to subdue the rest of Nejd, Al-Hasa, Jebel Shammar, Asir, and Hejaz (location of the Muslim holy cities of Mecca and Medina) between 1913 and 1926. The resultant polity was named the Kingdom of Nejd and Hejaz from 1927 until it was further consolidated with Al-Hasa and Qatif into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932. The Treaty of Darin, or the Darin Pact, of 1915 was between the United Kingdom and Abdul-Aziz Al Saud (Ibn Saud) ruler of Nejd, The Treaty made the lands of the House of Saud a British protectorate and attempted to define its boundaries. The British aim of the treaty was to guarantee the sovereignty of Kuwait, Qatar and the Trucial States. Abdul-Aziz agreed not to attack these British protectorates, but gave no undertaking that he would not attack the Sharif of Mecca. The Treaty of Jeddah (1927), superseded the Treaty of Darin (1915) and was signed on May 20, 1927, between King Abdul Aziz and the United Kingdom. It recognized the sovereignty of King Abdul Aziz over what was then known as the Kingdom of Hejaz and Nejd; these regions were unified into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932. In return, King Abdul Aziz would hold back his forces from attacking and harassing neighbouring British Protectorates.

Karkamis, where the town’s sleepiness gives way to a tinge of menace, sits at the very dividing line between those two realities. The hilltop sprawl of Hittite ruins is now a Turkish police post, off-limits to visitors, while at the base of that hill a 15-foot-high concrete wall topped with concertina wire has recently been erected.

WWI Arab Revolt: Al Saud - King of Saudi Arabia - Abdulaziz Ibn Saud
The Al-Saud family had been in exile since 1893 following the disintegration of the Second Saudi State and the rise of Jebel Shammar under the Al Rashid clan. In 1902, Ibn Saud recaptured Riyadh, the Al Saud dynasty's former capital. He went on to subdue the rest of Nejd, Al-Hasa, Jebel Shammar, Asir, and Hejaz (location of the Muslim holy cities of Mecca and Medina) between 1913 and 1926. The resultant polity was named the Kingdom of Nejd and Hejaz from 1927 until it was further consolidated with Al-Hasa and Qatif into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932. The Treaty of Darin, or the Darin Pact, of 1915 was between the United Kingdom and Abdul-Aziz Al Saud (Ibn Saud) ruler of Nejd, The Treaty made the lands of the House of Saud a British protectorate and attempted to define its boundaries... -

T.E. Lawrence - The Dangerous Dreamer and the Arab Revolt
All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible. T. E. Lawrence This is an idiot letter, and amounts to nothing except cry for a further change which is idiocy, for I change my abode every day, and my job every two days, and my language every three days, and still remain always unsatisfied. I hate being in front, and I hate being back and I don't like responsibility, and I don't obey orders. Altogether no good just now. A long quiet like a purge and then a contemplation and decision of future roads, that is what is to look forward to. You want apparently some vivid colouring of an Arab co... -
The Arab Revolt - Lawrence and Auda abu Tayi (Trailer #1)

To the degree that these workmen had dealt with Westerners before, it had been in the master-servant form; to meet someone who took a genuine interest in their culture, joined to Lawrence’s very un-Western tolerance for hardship and hard work, drew them to the young Briton as a kindred spirit. “The foreigners come out here always to teach,” he wrote his parents from Carchemish, “whereas they had much better learn.” It was at Carchemish that Lawrence first cam... -

The Suez Canal is an artificial sea-level waterway in Egypt. It was opened in 1869 after 10 years of construction. It enables ship transport between Europe and Asia via the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. Britain viewed the Suez Canal as the "Lifeline of the Empire" because it allowed quicker access to its colonies in Asia and Africa.
In 1911, Muslim intellectuals and politicians from throughout the Levant formed al-Fatat ("the Young Arab Society"), a small Arab nationalist club, in Paris. Its stated aim was "raising the level of the Arab nation to the level of modern nations." In the first few years of its existence, al-Fatat called for greater autonomy within a unified Ottoman state rather than Arab independence from the empire. Al-Fatat hosted the Arab Congress of 1913 in Paris, the purpose of which was to discuss desired reforms with other dissenting individuals from the Arab world. They also requested that Arab conscripts to the Ottoman army not be required to serve in non-Arab regions except in time of war. However, as the Ottoman authorities cracked down on the organization's activities and members, al-Fatat went underground and demanded the complete independence and unity of the Arab provinces. Nationalist individuals became more prominent during the waning years of Ottoman authority, but the idea of Arab nationalism had virtually no impact on the majority of Arabs as they considered themselves loyal subjects of the Ottoman Empire.
The Sykes-Picot Agreement, officially known as the Asia Minor Agreement, was a secret agreement between the governments of the United Kingdom and France, with the assent of Russia, defining their proposed spheres of influence and control in the Middle East should the Triple Entente succeed in defeating the Ottoman Empire during World War I. The negotiation of the treaty occurred between November 1915 and March 1916. The agreement was concluded on 16 May 1916. The agreement effectively divided the Arab provinces of the Ottoman Empire outside the Arabian peninsula into areas of future British and French control or influence. The terms were negotiated by the French diplomat François Georges-Picot and British Sir Mark Sykes.

There is no evidence to suggest that Sharif Hussein bin Ali was inclined to "Arab Nationalism" before 1916, however the rise of "Turkish Nationalism" in the Ottoman Empire, that culminated in the 1908 Young Turks revolution displeased the Hashemites and resulted in a rift between them and the new government. During World War I, Hussein initially remained allied with the Ottomans but began secret negotiations with the British on the advice of his son, Abdullah, who had served in the Ottoman parliament up to 1914 and was convinced that it was necessary to separate from the increasingly nationalistic Ottoman administration.
Starting in 1915, as indicated by letters of the British representative, Henry McMahon. The Secretary of State for War, Lord Kitchener, appealed to Hussein for assistance in the conflict on the side of the Triple Entente. Hussein demanded recognition of an Arab nation that included the Hejaz and other adjacent territories as well as approval for the proclamation of an Arab Caliphate of Islam. McMahon accepted and assured him that his assistance would be rewarded by an Arab empire encompassing the entire span between Egypt and Persia, with the exception of imperial possessions and interests in Kuwait, Aden, and the Syrian coast. But after protracted negotiations, with neither side committing to clear terms, including on key matters such as the fate of Palestine, Hussein became impatient and commenced with what would become known as The Great Arab Revolt against Ottoman control in 1916.

[select a following time index to skip to that time in the video]
03:43 & 07:10 23 May 1939 - The White Paper of 1939 was in favour of creating an independent Palestine governed by Palestinian Arabs and Jews in proportion to their numbers in the population and a limit of 75,000 Jewish immigrants was set for the five-year period 1940-1944.
11:15 ~1930 - Izz ad-Din al-Qassam was a Muslim preacher who was a leader in the fight against British, French, and Zionist organizations. Born in Syria, he later immigrated to British Mandate Palestine. In 1930 al-Qassam's preaching was instrumental in laying the foundations for the formation of the Black Hand (al kaff al-aswad), an anti-Zionist, anti-British militant organization. By 1935 he had organized military training for peasants and recruited several hundred men,-the figures differ, from 200 to 800,- organized in cells of 5 men. The cells were equipped with bombs and firearms, which they used to raid Jewish settlements and to sabotage British-constructed rail lines. Though striking a responsive chord among the rural poor and urban underclass, his movement deeply perturbed the Muslim urban elite as it threatened their political and patronage connections with the British Mandatory authorities. A British police manhunt eventually surrounded al-Qassam in a cave near Ya'bad, in the village of Sheikh Zeid and in the ensuing firefight al-Qassam was killed on 20 November 1935.
02:46 & 03:30 & 17:10 19 April 1936 - Haj Amin al-Husseini, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, after a wave of protest strikes and attacks against both the British authorities and Jews was unleashed in Palestine. and with the initial riots being led by Farhan al-Sa'di, and after his arrest and execution, upon al-Husseini's initiative, the leaders of Palestinian Arab clans formed the Arab Higher Committee under the Mufti's chairmanship. The Committee called for nonpayment of taxes after 15 May 1936 and for a general strike of Arab workers and businesses, demanding an end to the Jewish immigration. In 1937, evading an arrest warrant, he fled Palestine.
13:27 21 October 1937 - Sir Charles Tegart,was a colonial police officer in Mandatory Palestine sent to advise the Inspector General on matters of security. In due course he advised the construction of a large number of reinforced concrete police stations and posts which could be defended against attack, and of a frontier fence along the northern border of Palestine to control the movement of insurgents, goods and weapons. His recommendations were accepted and some 50 new "Tegart forts", as they came to be known, were built throughout Palestine, some of them are still in use by Israeli forces. It is recorded that his interrogation suspects underwent brutal questioning, involving humiliation and the practice of falaka (beating prisoners on the soles of their feet).
14:30 ~1936 - Orde Wingate was sent to Palestine as a Captain in military intelligence. Wingate was a Christian Zionists and saw the creation of a Jewish State in Palestine as a religious duty towards the literal fulfillment of Christian prophecy and he immediately put himself into an absolute alliance with Jewish political leaders. Wingate initiated a plan to create small mobile units of elite volunteers. A report he submitted , on June 5th, 1938, entitled : "Appreciation of the possibilities of night movements by armed forces of the Crown with the object of putting an end to terrorism in Northern Palestine" detailed his plan.
The 1936--1939 Arab revolt in Palestine was a nationalist uprising by Palestinian Arabs in Mandatory Palestine against British colonial rule, motivated by opposition to mass Jewish immigration.The revolt consisted of two distinct phases. The first phase was directed primarily by the urban and elitist Higher Arab Committee (HAC) and was focused mainly on strikes and other forms of political protest. By October 1936, this phase had been defeated by the British civil administration using a combination of political concessions, international diplomacy (involving the rulers of Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Transjordan and Yemen) and the threat of martial law. The second phase, which began late in 1937, was a violent and peasant-led resistance movement that increasingly targeted British forces. During this phase, the rebellion was brutally suppressed by the British Army and the Palestine Police Force using repressive measures that were intended to intimidate the Arab population and undermine popular support for the revolt.

By October 1936, this phase had been defeated by the British civil administration using a combination of political concessions, international diplomacy (involving the rulers of Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Transjordan and Yemen) and the threat of martial law. The second phase, which began late in 1937, was a violent and peasant-led resistance movement that increasingly targeted British forces. During this phase, the rebellion was brutally suppressed by the British Army and the Palestine Police Force using repressive measures that were intended to intimidate the Arab population and undermine popular support for the revolt.

http://www.HistoryPod.net
The Arab Revolt began fully on June 10th 1916 when Grand Sharif Hussein bin Ali, the guardian of the holy city of Mecca, ordered his troops to attack the Ottoman Caliphate’s garrison in the city. Hussein’s troops, drawn from his tribe, significantly outnumbered the Ottoman soldiers but were considerably less well equipped. Consequently, despite impressive initial gains, Hussein’s troops were unable to win the battle until Egyptian troops sent by the British arrived to provide artillery support.
Through correspondence with Sir Henry McMahon, the British High Commissioner of Egypt at the time, Hussein had become convinced that the Revolt would be rewarded with an independent Arabian empire stretching through the Middle East. The British supported the Revolt as it distracted tens of thousands of Ottoman troops from joining other fronts in the First World War.
Captain T. E. Lawrence, known as Lawrence of Arabia for his involvement in the Revolt, did not join with the Arab forces until October 1916. Although he was just one of many British and French officers who worked closely with the Arabs during the Revolt, newspaper reports of his guerrilla tactics and close relationship with Hussein’s sons Faisal and Abdullah earned him fame.
The Revolt was an enormous success, but the outcome was not what was agreed in the Hussein-McMahon Correspondence. The British and French instead divided the land according to the secret Sykes-Picot Agreement that they had negotiated between themselves in 1916. Hussein was given the Hejaz region in the Arabian Peninsula, but was defeated in 1925 by Ibn Saud.

History: The Tafilah region has been inhabited since the Stone Age proved by the stone tools found in the area. The Edom civilization inhabited the area and named the city Tophel. The Nabataen capital was Petra but their empire extended to Tafilah. The current city of Tafilah was founded in 1100 BC. It is also well-known for the part it played in the Great Arab Revolt under T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) who fought the Ottoman forces with Prince Zeid bin Hussein.
Geography: Tafilah is located 183 kilometers southwest of Amman. It has very rich and fertile soil with a large number grape-vines and olive and fig trees.
Demography: Tafilah has 6 districts with a population of around 91,400 as of 2013. 26,100 live in rural communities while 65,300 live in urban areas.
Tourism: More than 350 natural springs are found in the Tafilah area, some of which are hot and have high mineral content with therapeutic properties. The nature reserves of Tafilah also attract local and international tourists but their numbers are relatively low since Tafilah is far from the main transport routes.
تاريخيا: كانت المدينة مأهولة بالسكان منذ العصور القديمة ويعود ذلك بسبب تواجد الالواح الحجرية في هذه المنطقه والتي يرجع تاريخها الى العصر الحجري. حيث سكنت حضارة الأدوميين في المنطقة وأطلقوا عليها اسم توفل. تأسست المدينة الحالية في عام 1100 قبل الميلاد. كما تشتهر مدينة الطفيلة بالدور الذي لعبته في الثورة العربية تحت قيادة تي ايه لورانس (لورانس العرب) الذي حارب القوات العثمانية مع الأمير زيد بن الحسين.
جغرافيا: تقع المدينة 183 كيلومترا جنوب غرب عمان. وتتمتع بتربة خصبة غنية جدا مكونه من أشجار الزيتون والتين، والعنب.
ديموغرافيا: يبلغ عدد السكان حوالي 39.000 ولديها 6 مقاطعات.
سياحيا: تم العثور على أكثر من 350 من الينابيع الطبيعية في منطقة الطفيلة، وبعض من هذه الينابيع بها مياه ساخنة وبها مياه معدنية عالية الجودة. ويزور معظم السياح المدينة للاستفادة من الينابيع الساخنة التي لها خصائص علاجية. وتلعب المحميات الطبيعية في الطفيلة أيضا دورا كبيرا في جذب السياح المحليين والدوليين ولكن عددهم قليل نسبيا وذلك لكون المدينة بعيدة عن طرق النقل الرئيسية.
“Rebellions can be made by 2 percent actively in the striking force and 98 percent passively sympathetic” (T. E. Lawrence)
"Lawrence trained himself, throughout most of his youth, to be a great hero," Korda tells NPR's Neal Conan. "He had in mind the liberation of Arabia." Not only did Lawrence strongly advocate for it, "but he also went through every possible training that he could inflict on himself to play that role," says Korda.
"He didn't wander into the desert by accident, and emerge out of it as a hero. He wandered into the desert deliberately."

The Arab revolt 1916-1918 الثورة العربية
WORLD WAR I: 100 YEARS AGO
“The foreigners come out here always to teach,” he wrote his parents from Carchemish, “whereas they had much better learn.”
It was at Carchemish that Lawrence first came to despise the despotism of Ottoman Turkey, and to imagine an independent Arab nation with Syria at its heart; today, of course, Turkey is a democracy while Syria is in the grips of an unspeakably savage civil war. Karkamis, where the town’s sleepiness gives way to a tinge of menace, sits at the very dividing line between those two realities.
The hilltop sprawl of Hittite ruins is now a Turkish police post, off-limits to visitors, while at the base of that hill a 15-foot-high concrete wall topped with concertina wire has recently been erected. On the other side of that wall, in the Syrian town of Jarabulus, fly the black-and-white war flags of a rebel group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIS, an Islamic fundamentalist faction so murderous and extreme it has been disavowed by its former umbrella organization, al-Qaeda. In Karkamis’ grim little park, idle Syrian men who managed to escape tell of family and friends being butchered at the hands of ISIS, of how Jarabulus has become a ghost town.
Having used his time in Carchemish to study the clan and tribal structure of Arab society, Lawrence intuitively grasped the delicate negotiating process necessary to win tribal leaders over to the rebel cause. What’s more, waging war in early 20th-century Arabia revolved around the same primal issues—where an army on the move might find water and forage for its animals—as the wars of 14th-century Europe that Lawrence had so thoroughly studied at Oxford. Very quickly, Faisal came to regard the young British officer as one of his most trusted advisers, as Lawrence, donning the robes of an Arab sheik, assumed a position of honor in tribal strategy sessions. With British naval help, the Arabs captured a succession of Turkish-held towns along the Red Sea coast, while Lawrence organized guerrilla raids against the inland Hejaz Railway.

The King of Syria, was the title briefly used following the partitioning of the Ottoman Empire in the aftermath of World War I. Faysal ibn Husayn of the House of Hashim was proclaimed King of Greater Syria on 8 March 1920 in Damascus, following the Arab revolt against the Ottomans of 1916--1918.
His accession was not recognized by France or the United Kingdom, the two new imperial powers in the region, and on 23 July 1920 the French moved 9000 troops towards Damascus resulting in the Battle of Maysalun. Faisal was expelled from Syria on 25 July and took exile in the United Kingdom. On 10 August, the Treaty of Sèvres divided the region into League of Nations mandates governed by France and the United Kingdom. Following mass revolts in Mesopotamia, the British government decided to step back from direct administration and create a monarchy to head Iraq while they maintained the mandate. Faisal agreed to become King following a referendum showing 96% in favour, and on 23 August 1921, Faisal was crowned King of Iraq.

The Al-Saud family had been in exile since 1893 following the disintegration of the Second Saudi State and the rise of Jebel Shammar under the Al Rashid clan. In 1902, Ibn Saud recaptured Riyadh, the Al Saud dynasty's former capital. He went on to subdue the rest of Nejd, Al-Hasa, Jebel Shammar, Asir, and Hejaz (location of the Muslim holy cities of Mecca and Medina) between 1913 and 1926. The resultant polity was named the Kingdom of Nejd and Hejaz from 1927 until it was further consolidated with Al-Hasa and Qatif into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932.
The Treaty of Darin, or the Darin Pact, of 1915 was between the United Kingdom and Abdul-Aziz Al Saud (Ibn Saud) ruler of Nejd, The Treaty made the lands of the House of Saud a British protectorate and attempted to define its boundaries. The British aim of the treaty was to guarantee the sovereignty of Kuwait, Qatar and the Trucial States. Abdul-Aziz agreed not to attack these British protectorates, but gave no undertaking that he would not attack the Sharif of Mecca.
The Treaty of Jeddah (1927), superseded the Treaty of Darin (1915) and was signed on May 20, 1927, between King Abdul Aziz and the United Kingdom. It recognized the sovereignty of King Abdul Aziz over what was then known as the Kingdom of Hejaz and Nejd; these regions were unified into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932. In return, King Abdul Aziz would hold back his forces from attacking and harassing neighbouring British Protectorates.

"You could see Arab leaders interest in having a say [in decision making] in Palestine, since Palestine is the core of not the Arab-Palestinian conflict or Arab-Israeli conflict, but is the consciousness of the Arab world. He who governs Jerusalem, he who has a say in Palestine will have the upper hand in the Arab World." --Hani Abdel Hadi of the Palestinian Strategic Studies Institute
After nine months of fighting the Arab armies, including the forces of Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Transjordan, were defeated and the Israelis captured 75 per cent of Palestine, giving it an area one-third greater than the area assigned to them under the UN partition plan. The remainder of Palestine, namely the West Bank, was controlled by the Jordanian military force, while the Gaza Strip was controlled by the Egyptian military force.
Over 750,000 Palestinian refugees fled to neighboring Arab countries where they were housed in camps. In December 1948, the UN Security Council passed Resolution-194 which recognized the right of refugees to return to their homes.

All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.
T. E. Lawrence
This is an idiot letter, and amounts to nothing except cry for a further change which is idiocy, for I change my abode every day, and my job every two days, and my language every three days, and still remain always unsatisfied. I hate being in front, and I hate being back and I don't like responsibility, and I don't obey orders. Altogether no good just now. A long quiet like a purge and then a contemplation and decision of future roads, that is what is to look forward to.
You want apparently some vivid colouring of an Arab costume, or of a flying Turk, and we have it all, for that is part of the mise en scene of the successful raider, and hitherto I am that. My bodyguard of fifty Arab tribesmen, picked riders from the young men of the deserts, are more splendid than a tulip garden, and we ride like lunatics and with our Beduins pounce on unsuspecting Turks and destroy them in heaps: and it is all very gory and nasty after we close grips. I love the preparation, and the journey, and loathe the physical fighting. Disguises, and prices on one's head, and fancy exploits are all part of the pose: how to reconcile it with the Oxford pose I know not.
TE Lawrence letter to V. W. Richards, July 15 1917
“Lawrence seems to have possessed a natural gift for remaining silent and motionless, without betraying himself – he had always been fearless; from boyhood on he had deliberately cultivated indifference to danger and hardship, as well as emotional independence, as if rehearsing for the role he was about to play, and his lack of fear somehow communicated itself to others in the sense that they felt he belonged where he was whoever he might be."
Michael Korda’s book Hero, on the life and legend of Lawrence
Lawrence certainly had his vices but of his virtues he had an audacity and flexibility that made him unique.
TE Lawrence 1908,
I bathed today
in the sea, the great sea, the greatest in the world; you can
imagine my feelings: the day was lovely, warm, a light wind, and
sunny; the sea had not our long rolling breakers, but short
dancing ripples, the true
And from the waves sounds like delight broke forth.
The beach was hard sand as far as the eye could reach, and sand
rippled like the waves themselves: 'twas shallow, and all most
lovely, most delightful
I love all waste
And solitary places : where we taste
The pleasure of believing all we see
Is boundless, as we wish our souls to be.

The Arab Revolt - Lawrence 'Emirأمير Dynamite and Auda ibu Tayi عودة أبو تايه
100 years ago (1916-1918)
Learning Arabic, he took to quizzing members of the local work crew on their family histories, on the region’s complex clan and tribal affiliations, and often visited the laborers in their homes to glimpse their lives up close. To the degree that these workmen had dealt with Westerners before, it had been in the master-servant form; to meet someone who took a genuine interest in their culture, joined to Lawrence’s very un-Western tolerance for hardship and hard work, drew them to the young Briton as a kindred spirit. “The foreigners come out here always to teach,” he wrote his parents from Carchemish, “whereas they had much better learn.”
It was at Carchemish that Lawrence first came to despise the despotism of Ottoman Turkey, and to imagine an independent Arab nation with Syria at its heart; today, of course, Turkey is a democracy while Syria is in the grips of an unspeakably savage civil war. Karkamis, where the town’s sleepiness gives way to a tinge of menace, sits at the very dividing line between those two realities.
The hilltop sprawl of Hittite ruins is now a Turkish police post, off-limits to visitors, while at the base of that hill a 15-foot-high concrete wall topped with concertina wire has recently been erected. On the other side of that wall, in the Syrian town of Jarabulus, fly the black-and-white war flags of a rebel group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIS, an Islamic fundamentalist faction so murderous and extreme it has been disavowed by its former umbrella organization, al-Qaeda. In Karkamis’ grim little park, idle Syrian men who managed to escape tell of family and friends being butchered at the hands of ISIS, of how Jarabulus has become a ghost town.

Let me cry for the falling leaf
On the rock it tumbles down.
Let me cry for the forgotten king
Queen was gone and so was the crown.
Let me cry for the helpless Fatima
Whom life, men, abused and gone.
Let me cry for the cemeteries
Where the people bones are petrified.
Besiege! And destroy!
Oh besiege him! And destroy!
Let me cry for the philosophies
Where Goddamn truths are unknown.
Let me cry for those religions
Where the sacred books are falsified.
Besiege! And destroy!
Oh besiege him! And destroy!
Let me cry for the fallen deer
Claws, canines in flesh with fear.
Let me cry for the brown bony girl
Whom hunger wraps, death roams near.
Besiege! And destroy!
Oh besiege him! And destroy!
