What was the January 4 memo about? With that "reservation" Faisal is giving himself the classic Muslim 'out' of any treaty.
I'm not sure what the Jan 4 Agreement was,
The Main Point here Being What The Arabs thought of Palestine in 1919.
It was a tiny part of the land Just liberated by the British From the Ottomans.
There were no "Palestinians' then.. just a few Arabs who might have to move a few miles and join other Arabs in the vast majority of the Liberated Territory which became all the Arab states.
If you'd like to be on or off this middle east/political ping list, please FR mail me.
