If your rebellion is supported by Brits, it is not your rebellion anymore. You are a mere puppet in their play…

[erenozturk]

Since the Ottomans withdrew from North Africa and the Middle East, blood and tears have been constant in that region. You asked for this, Arabs.

[sandybarrie]

my maternal grandfather was on Gallipoli, where he was critically wounded, shot through the neck, an had difficulty walking for the rest of his life. but he held the Turkish soldiers in high esteem. "They never fired on our red cross or ambulances"...

Ottoman who died when protecting Jerusalem, May Allah bless them with eternal paradise

[syedmuzammil]

Ottomans who sacrifice theirs lives for Al-quds(Jerusalem) May Allah give them high rank in jannah😢.love from Pakistan 🇵🇰❣️

[syedghaznavi]

The British really made a fool out of Muslims. Pitting Arabs against Turks. In the end both Arabs & Turks lost while the British (and French) won.

[AR-rfhc]

Arabs betrayed Turks and for almost 100+ years arabs are facing the punishment for that sin.

[mr.tobacco]

Arabs: We kicked Turks out of our lands and now we will have our own kingdoms!!!

Turks watching how arabs ended up: 🤣🤣🤣

[dzakimaulana]

Fahreddin Pasha, protector of the holy city of Medina, may Allah have mercy on him and grant him heaven

[coldpllay]

Im Turk and my grandfather fought against English and Arab revolt forces in Yemen. His name was Rahim, he was loyal Ottoman from Balkans and did against colonialist power fight. He did survive the war, may Allah give him and thousands of loyal men peace in his Cennet. And yes, if we dont cooperate, just like in 1916, Mecca Jerusalem Istanbul and every city of anticolonialist power of Turks or Arabs will be occupied. Just look at Palestine.

Rebelling against the Turks on behalf of the British turned out to be a horrible mistake. Now they have Israel.

[mixedtraptrap]

I am Turkish. Since the withdrawal of the Ottoman Empire from the Middle East, tears, misery, blood and civil war have not ended in the Middle East. We, the Turks, were the bannermen of Islam, we were at the forefront in the war of the cross and the crescent, we brought many victories to both Turkishness and Islam, But unfortunately, we did not forget the Arab betrayal. If Palestine is burning today, one of the consequences of this was that the Arabs betrayed the Ottomans at that time..

[VirgilJJacks]

The Ottomans were a very civilize and progressive empire even by today standards. The Arabs until today are showing what they really are. Except the Hashemites.

[funtechnocrats]

"The biggest mistake made by Arabs was going against the Ottomans."

[Levo_D_Angelo]

1.) The Middle east was totaly in the hands of Shia Muslims, from North Africa, Egypt to Iran. The Turks kicked them all out.
2.) The Turks have beaten several Crusader Armies and were the reason that the middle east and north africa kept Muslim.
3.) If there were no Turks probably we had today christian Arabs.
4.) Today some arab regions are suffering but the Turks are still the one helping them while Saudi Arabia and UAE keeps watching
5.) Shame on You !

[lincolnkia]

Lawrence said: We cannot defeat the Ottoman Caliphate, which unites Muslims, except by creating two Arab caliphates and dividing the Turkish and Arab nations!!!

[ikielinsesi]

An Ottoman Soldier defending the holy land in WWI:

Sons of Ertugrul(the Ottomans) can't live without you,
Turks may die but can't give up their beloved,
We'll always be the servants of the holy lands,
Even if we die our spirits will be guarding your tomb.

In Turkish:

Yapamaz Ertuğrul evladı sensiz,
Can verir cananı veremez Türkler,
Ebediyen hadimül harameyniniz,
Ölsek de ravzanı ruhumuz bekler!

[tarkkahraman]

Before crying for Palestine, remember this betrayal of the Turks. After all, it is a state that still uses the flag of betrayal to the Ottomans.
