No, the betrayal was from the British.

After WWI the British got a protectorate over the area called "Palestine" (it included what is today Israel and all of Jordan).

The area was promised to be a restored Jewish homeland.

In Arabia, the Hashemites and the Saudi clan were in competition. The British sided with the Wahabi Saudis (the reason for many of our problems today) and gave them Arabia. They then forced the Hashemites into other areas of the Mideast- including Iraq (again leading to our current problems).

The British then cut off 2/3 of the area of "Palestine" and simply gave it to the Hashemites as TransJordan-now simply Jordan.

Then even reneged on the other 1/3 for the Jews- dooming many to Hitler.

The Jews fought for their independence from the British, then fought Arab armies some trained and led by British officers.

Every problem in the Midwast can be traced back to the British perfidy- and of course Islam.

Yes, the British even ignored the atrocities committed against the Indians by the Moslems. I don't understand what there was to gain living out loud with the Arab peoples? But I don't doubt they always did and still do have a bias for the Arabics.

Thank God the USA stepped in and stopped the nonsense. I imagine Churchill was out of power at that time?
