That is the root of the problem.Just curious as to under whose authority was the Kingdom of Hejaz operating with respect to the Palestinians. Was he speaking for the Palestinian Muslims or the Palestinian Christians, who made up 93% of the population of Palestine? I don't recall that the Palestine Arab Congress ever agreed for this self appointed Bedouin King to negotiate on the Palestinian's behalf, in fact, the Palestinians were far more likely to give Syria that right, given the British refusal to recognize the representative body of 93% of the population.
Palestinians have always had other people making decisions for them who did not have their best interest in mind.
And its always been other arab muslims hasn't it............................. So you cant blame the west for it or the Israelis. Even now the Syrian and Egyptian leaders of hamas and fatah are making decisions that impact on the lives of the Palestinian people.
