Gee, Ed, I wonder where the Jewish Palestine army was when all these Satanic shenanigans were going on? Well, probably they were all home, shining their menorahs that day!
”…During World War I, Damascus served as the headquarters of the Turkish and German forces which, under Gen. Otto Liman von Sanders, tried to attack the Suez canal and to oppose the British advance into Palestine [PALESTINE]. The Egyptian expeditionary force under Gen. E.H.H. Allenby and the Arab army [ARAB ARMY!] commanded by the amir Faisal ibn Husain entered Damascus on Oct. 1, 1918. Faisal made his formal entry on on Oct. 3 and proceeded to establish the government for an independent Syria, with Damascus as the capital. In hope of forestalling the proposals for French and British mandates in Syria and Palestine [PALESTINE!] a Syrian national congress, meeting in Damascus, offered on March 11, 1920, the royal crown of Syria to Faisal and unanimously adopted on July 3 a deomcratic constitution for a united Syria, including the Lebanon and Palestine [PALESTINE!]. This was followed by an ultimatum from the French high commissioner in Beirut, Gen. Henri Gourad, on July 19, demanding unconditional recognition of the French mandate. An Arab army [ARAB ARMY!], under Yusuf al-Azm, the minister of war, met the French at Khan Meisalun on July 24 and was defeated; Damascus was occupied by the French and the short-lived kingdom brought to an end…” Damascus, Encyclopedia Britannica, vol. 7, 1956.
