ACRE was autonomous, not independent. There was no palestine state.
Independant of Ottoman rule and supported by both Egypt and Russia from the 1760's until 1775 The ottomans recognised his rule by confering the title "Sheikh of Acre, Emir of Nazareth, Tiberias, Safed, and Sheikh of all Galilee" on him. Sheikh: "...a man of vast power, and nobility, and it is used strictly for the royal families of the middle east." "Emir": ruler of an Emirate which is a sovereign Principality. Sounds pretty independant
and autonomous to me.
It is the title of a tribal leader, something like a "chief", "sir" or in some cases like "lord". There are hundreds of sheiks around today through the region.
Does not make him a king of palestine it just makes him leader of the sanjuk. They collect the taxes of the area and get a percentage before giving the taxes to the Ottoman. It is bit like being the duke of cambridge, he gets an income from cambridge instead of being paid by the queen.
It is a feudal lord of a county, not country
Instead of understanding the system and times you (pl.) keep grasping at straws. Acre was not palestine.
The laziness of poster to not check facts before posting is shameful. It takes seconds. They would rather argue about nonsense for days than learn the facts in less than a minute.

I don't know or remember everything or not sure how to phrase certain things, but I have an advantage to know what I am looking for. So it take others a few more seconds to check or double check before posting. It still takes less time than typing out a post or reading one.
Why should other posters do your homework for you? Think before opening your mouth. A political forum is not the place to be making up fiction......unless you're going to run for office
Stick to the way things are, not the way you want them to be
