[Note to Reader: The intention of writing this chapter is not to in any way undermine the cause for Palestinian independence or Arab independence more broadly. It is rather to showcase the role of the British Empire on orchestrating much of the violence and chaos that would embroil the Middle East. It was the British who created Israel, it was the British who created the role of the Mufti of Jerusalem (who they also personally selected as the later pro-Nazi Haj Amin who slaughtered Jews and his own people, the Arabs), it was the British who created the role of the Mufti of Egypt whom they also personally selected as the disciple of al-Afghani the spiritual father of the Salafiyya movement and it was the British who brought in the legendary Nazi Otto Skorzeny to train the military of Egypt under the Gladio umbrella while a British stooge king (King Farouk) sat on the throne. It is also this very King Farouk who would offer the pro-Nazi Haj Amin (the Mufti of Jerusalem) safe haven after WWII.

It should also be noted that there will be a Volume 2 to this series of books where I will have a chapter on Jabotinsky.]

my father was born in Tito's YUGOSLAVIA, a country which no longer exists. i visited Slovenija,

which borders on Austria, my grandmother's birthplace in 2003. my sister and i visited a few pubs

in Slovenija and asked about their former country and its conditions. i heard praise for what they had,

and how they lived before the destruction of Yugoslavia. fascinating to learn of its connection

to the same policies of perpetual war and terror which the world still suffers from today.

i thank you Cynthia for making this research available!

how can we not Give Peace a Chance? is it not our only True course?

our world is utterly, truly exhausted by the waste and evil of war..

I am reading Cynthia's book and learning so much more about history!

The more we know about history the less vulnerable we are to despots, tyrants, and charlatan politicians.

NATO is looting the West to pay for its wars against China and Russia and this must stop! Few realize that not only are we losing the war in Ukraine we are losing it at home, where the collateral damage is immense and mounting .

Joe Biden claims Russia must be"weakened" totally oblivious to the damage he inflicts on his own country.

dirigisme; System in which the State temporarily assumes the direction of economic mechanisms, while retaining the frameworks of capitalist society (opposed to liberalism).

an approach to economic development emphasizing the positive role of state intervention. The term dirigisme is derived from the French word diriger (“to direct”), which signifies the control of economic activity by the state. Preventing market failure was the basic rationale of this approach.23 May 2023

Why do your sources appear to be primarily Jewish? Where is the Arab POV?
