montelatici, et al,
This is exactly right. But it is not who you think.
(COMMENT)LOL, these clowns keep trying to change history. The facts are in the archives. They have been posted and linked several times.
I think they may have a reading comprehension problem as well. Let's do it again. From the report of the Mandatory of 30 June, 1921 (well before that silly little piece of propaganda dated 1923)
X.--TRANS-JORDANIA.
"When Palestine west of the Jordan was occupied by the British Army and placed under a British military administration, over Trans-Jordania and a large part of Syria there was established an Arab administration, with its capital at Damascus. The ruler was His Highness the Emir Feisal, the third son of H.M. King Hussein, the King of the Hejaz. When Damascus was occupied by French troops in July, 1920, and the Emir Feisal withdrew, it was necessary to adopt fresh measures in Trans-Jordania. I proceeded to the central town of Salt on August 20th, and, at an assembly of notables and sheikhs of the district, announced that His Majesty's Government favoured the establishment of a system of local self- government, assisted by a small number of British officers as advisers."
Mandate for Palestine - Interim report of the Mandatory to the League of Nations/Balfour Declaration text (30 July 1921)
The area called Trans-Jordania by the British was a part of the Arab Kingdom of Syria where Feisel was the ruler. When the French conquered the Kingdom, southern part, named Trans-Jordania by the British was given to the British by the French in return for some deal on Lebanon I believe. The British proceeded to give it to the Feisal. So, this nonsense that Jordan is Palestine is simply another one of the Zionist myths.
In 1920, Prince Faisal (a Hashemite Beduin) initially controlled Damascus; he was King of Syria from 8 March 1920 – 24 July 1920 (Prince Faisal was coronated King of the Arab Kingdom of Syria). However, based on the Sykes-Picot Treaty and the Paulet-Newcombe Line, also known as the Franco-British Boundary Agreements, were a sequence of agreements signed between 1920-23 between the British and French governments regarding the position and nature of the boundary between the Mandates ofPalestine and Mesopotamia, attributed to Great Britain, and the Mandate of Syria and the Lebanon, attributed to France. The British Mandatory had to shift Prince Faisal out of this large portion of Syria and put him in Iraq.
But the "Arab administration, with its capital at Damascus" was made up from Hashemite Beduins and Prince Faisal (Son of Hussein ibn Ali, Sharif of Mecca and King of the Hejaz) who with COL TE Lawrence from the Hejaz (Mecca and Medina). They were not indigenous (Arab Palestinians) to the territory under the Mandate of Palestine.
I've used this report many times in the Past year. But don't try to read something that is not there.

The inhabitants of the southern part of the Arab Kingdom of Syria (which included northern Hejaz) with the provincial capital of Amman, were Bedouins. They were not Palestinians, who are quite distinct from the Bedouins. as many of your friends try to claim. Don't deflect, and confuse the issue as usual.
