There is no Palestinian Issue. There is an Arabic Issue.
القضية العربية التي تشكّلت منذ بدء الاستعمار في مطلع القرن.
The Arabic Issue was created since the beginning of colonialism in the Arabic world.
القضية العربية التي تتشكّل من الكثير من القضايا الفرعية و منها:

The Arabic Issue consists of many sub-issues, some of which are the following sub-issues: – تقسيم الوطن العربي الى دويلات
– Dividing the Arabic world into divided countries. – وضع نظام طائفي في بعض هذه الدويلات
– Establishing a sectarian regime in some of these countries. – تنصيب و حماية بعض العوائل الملكية المتحالفة مع الاستعمار على بعض هذه الدويلات
– appointing and protecting some ruling families allied with colonialists and imperialists to rule some of these countries. – اعلان الحركة الصهيونية دولتها العسكرية بشكل
انفرادي فوق ارض فلسطين. – declaration of the Zionist movement of a state unilaterally and over an already inhibited and sovereign land. – الحكم العسكري الدكتاتوري على بعض الدول العربية. – Military dictatorships that rule many Arabic countries. – غياب الديموقراطية عن جميع هذه الكانتونات المختلقة.
– absence of democracy from most of these countries. – تشري الفساد و القمع و التعدي على حقوق الانسان في معظم هذه الدويلات.
– the prevailing of corruption and suppression and violation of human rights in most of these countries.
تقسيم القضية العربية هو جزء من انتصار الاستعمار على العقل العربي.
Dividing the Arabic Issue is part of the victory of colonialism over the Arabic mind.

We have history that can make a thousand epic stories and movies.

Here is one:

Communication blocked by the British.

British were hesitant about him joining Arab Revolt with Sherif Hussein because they don’t want the Arab Revolt to be too strong or too PanArabic, but as need arose for commanders, he was a natural choice.

Sharif Hussein was suspicious of such a previously Ottoman loyal warrior to join the Arab Revolt, but his son Faisal insisted and convinced his father.

Faisal wrote him directly and invited him to be the commander of the Arab Revolt Northern Army which is led previously by Faisal himself.

In 1917, he accepted and set sail to Wejh (north Hijazi city).

Fought till the victory of the Arab Revolt and the fall of the Ottoman Empire in 1918.

Amir Zaid, on behalf of Amir Faisal, asked him to be the Inspector General of the Army of the newly established Arab state of Syria, which he accepted. Shortly thereafter, he was appointed the military Governor of the Aleppo Vilayet in Syria.

In 1921, appointed as Minister of Defense in Newly formed Iraq by King Faisal.

In 1923, appointed as Prime Minister in Iraq.

After couple years, he resigned as he didn’t like the job and was appointed as Iraq minister in London.

In 1926, appointed as Prime Minister again, but resigned in December 1927 since his plan was not liked by people.

Assassinated in 1936 as part of Bakr Sidqi military coupe.

It is Jafar Pasha Al-Askari.
