Glubb was a British Army officer who trained and led the Arab Legion, which was a military formation of the state of Jordan. They fought in war against Israel a couple of times but to compare them to illegal terrorists like Fatah is a bit of a stretch. Glubb was also a historian whose studies of the Arab Empire are still well worth reading. Nobody in the UK ever considered him a traitor, to my knowledge.

The point of the blog post is that our tax dollars are helping Dayton to equip and train Fatah Islamists who have and will use their U.S. military training not only against our ally Israel, but in other geographic regions of the world to wage “jihad” as well.

That’s what they do. They get training in one place and sometimes travel to wage jihad somewhere else.

In that regard there have been “Palestinian” jihadists waging jihad along side of Filipino Islamists in the Philippines.

“Nobody in the UK ever considered him a traitor, to my knowledge”-

Not implying that he was.

However, looking at the larger context of the global militant jihad against the non-Muslim world , [House of War], Glubb Pasha certainly provided training to Islamists who made use of it against Israel.

In that larger context were not his actions an “aiding and abetting” of the enemy?

Of course. Glubb was just carrying out post-white paper British policy of solving the Jewish Question in Palestine by siding with the Arabs at the cost of turning the Mediterranean red with Jewish blood.
