What kind of a stupid remark was this?  What is happening to you?
British victory in WWI against the Ottoman Empire dependent far more
on Arab support than on the Jews!!!  More Jews fought for the central
powers than for the Entente!!! Any statistics of the German and Austro-
Hungarian army would easily prove this.  I am sure that you have, at
least, heard of Lawrence of Arabia, haven't you????  This support for
Israel is draining your brains.

Oh but I have.

The Arabs achieved very little and what the Arab army did achieve was
almost all down to the British armoured car column that accompanied them
just about everywhere.

Lawrence was a brilliant self publicist but just about everything in his
memoirs has now been questioned.

What kind of statement is this? Again, when Israel is concerned, all
your critical thinking (if you have any) departs the scene. In fact,
the Arab rebellion was key for the British victory against the
Ottomans. The capture of Aqaba by the Arabs (without any help from
the British) was what allowed the Allied forces to overturn the
Ottoman flanks in the Sinai and force a retreat to the borders of
Palestine. In fact, the Brits were stuck in the Suez lines for a year
or more with no chance of any breakthrough before the capture of
Aqaba. Then, the Arab raids on the flanks of the Ottoman army (in what
is today Jordan and Syria) were instrumental in the quick
deterioration of the Ottoman position in Palestine and later Syria.
Let me remind you that it was the Arabs that captured Damascus. In
addition, substantial Ottoman forces were busy trying to put down the
rebellion in the Arab peninsula. So, the Arabs were instrumental and
most of the Jews fought for the Germans. And you know that this is
the actual truth.

As for the Jews who fought in WWI,  I'm afraid the ones who fought for
the Central Powers are irrelevant.  The only ones who mattered were the
people who fought for the winning side.

What kind of a statement is this? The whole idea of the Balfour
declaration was to get the Jews on the Entente side!!! What is
happening to you? Are you abandoning all logic.
