Dividing the Middle East - Setting the Board - Extra History - Part 5

📜 History of Dividing the Middle East: Setting the Board - Winston Churchill is convinced that his Cairo Conference has solved all of the problems of the Middle East but he is going to be proven wrong. The British find themselves trapped between two allies who will not stop fighting. The Balfour Declaration makes everything... tricky. Thousands of lives are lost in various uprisings and brutal retaliations. And the kingdom of Saudi Arabia emerges. It's not a conclusion so much as an endpoint for how our modern maps look.

    I feel like the Saudi conquest of Hejaz was a VERY big deal historically - whether independent, obedient to a Caliphate, or vassals under a Turkish empire, the Hashimite family had ruled that region (and been custodians of the holy cities of Mecca and Medina) for literally all of Islamic history. Until Saud.

    Indeed.. Bin Saud was never a friend of the british (They fought him at first) until he proved himself on the ground and unified most of Arabia. He was a true leader.. Arabia, with its different cultures and tribes wouldn't bow to one family, but Ibn Saud made that possible!

  • @bepamungkas

    A lot of infighting between sects and leaders that involves Hejaz (and Mecca specifically) was due to perceived "weakness" of current custodian, especially near the First Saudi State era. While Hashemites generally are decent Sharif that managed to keep the holy site safe, things turned south when they get too much involved in politics and let the Turkish authority profit off the pilgrims. Not to mention they neglected a basic necessity like sanitation *so badly* that the region was basically breeding ground for cholera. This was a far cry from centuries of custom where the Caliph actually paid the Sharif to ease logistical burdens of pilgrims. Which in turns maintain their image of authority and keep the religion grows by subsidizing _musafir_ during their study in holy city (a role that gradually shifted to Baghdad, and later, Cairo). In the word of Wilfrid Blunt about the Dutch East Indies pilgrimage policy at the end of 19th century: "From the moment of his landing on the holy shore he finds himself beset with dangers. He is fleeced by the Turkish officials, befooled by the religious touts of the towns, and sometimes robbed openly by actual highway robbers. The religious government of the land has no redress to offer him, and the Turkish guardians of the peace who affect to rule are only potent in demanding fees. At every step he is waylaid and tricked and ill-treated. He finds the Hejazi, the keepers of the holy places and privileged ciceroni of the shrines, shrewder as men of business than devout as believers, and he returns to his home a sadder and, the Dutch say, a wiser man." Not that the Saud did a better job in the latter part, but at least they kept the pilgrims relatively safe (at the expense of the Shiite followers that got kicked out from time to time).

    What about Russia? You know, that nation that started the whole chain of events that led up to the Sykes-Picot agreement because they wanted Constantinople (and colonize it with Cossacks, I think)? Also, don't forget that they partitioned the Ottoman Empire once before and supported an assassin's attempt to break up certain other empire. And while we're on the topic of partitioning said empires, what about Italy? Their war in Libya kicked off a series of events that left the Ottoman border where it is now today while the local nations partitioned the rest... Thing is, the UK came into the Middle East trying to stabilize the region and failed to grasp the complexities of the region, something which did not happen in the Balkans, a place where the above actors were more prominent.

    Contrary to what is said here, the early opposition between palestinian farmers and european jewish settlers was economical and not cultural or religious : - many sephardim Jews lived peacefully in Palestine under the Ottomans, as many christian Palestinians did, proving that religious or cultural lines were not enough for people to kill each other; - before WWI, european Zionists had begun buying lands in Palestine to palestinian feudal landlords, and they refused to keep the palestinian farmers living on those lands (which was the traditional way of doing things), since the plan was to bring european settlers; many Palestinians were deprived of the lands they had been working on since generations, as well as their primary mode of survival; This is and alwas was about land, economy and political power and certainly not about religion or culture.

    It's for the Black Lives Matter protests here in the U.S. recently an officer placed his knee on the neck of an unarmed, seemingly cooperative black man for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. This resulted in death of this man by asphyxiation, which the original coroners tried to report it was due to possible underlying medical issues or intoxication. A private autopsy proved this to be false and that these officers+coroners attempted to cover-up/downplay the murder of an innocent man.

    4:00 Dude, it is barely religious or cultural in cause, these came later. It's like calling the British colonization religious and cultural, while it can be clearly understood in a colonial context. Jewish immigration was by that time growing alarmingly fast, and the Balfour declaration wasn't a secret, the Arabs were fighting for control and unequivocally opposed to a Jewish state that rules over them or might displace them, since no matter how you look at it, the Arabs were always the majority. Also, the Arabs were the ones screwed over by the Brits not the Zionists, it was through the 1920 riots that the British learned that the Arab population wasn't going to take this easy. After the riots, we saw groups like the Irgun and Haganah being armed and trained by the British, hardly 'left behind'. Britain was going into this knowing full well that a Jewish state is to be established, this whole 'just an experiment' thing without displacement is just being dishonest after declaring the intent to establish a state. And it's like you said in your videos: The people were never consulted in the creation of these states (i.e. Sykes-Picot divisions). Well then why not treat Palestine with the same scale? The population definitely didn't want a Jewish state! It was forced upon them. Only the Zionists, be it Jewish, Christians or Muslims wanted that, and by that time they were definitely by far not a majority.
