ZIONISM’S NEW PLAN IN IRAQ AND SYRIA ON THE CENTENARY OF THE BALFOUR DECLARATION AND SYKES-PICOT

Journal Title: Ufuk Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü Dergisi - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 12

Abstract

Ower the past hundred years, much of the Middle East was arranged by Sir Mark Sykes and François Georges Picot. During the World War I Allied Powers dominated Syria by the treaty of Sykes-Picot which was made between Britain and France. After the Great War Allied Powers (England-France) occupied Syria, Palestine, Iraq or all Al Jazeera and made them mandate. As the Arab World and Syria in particular is in turmoil, it has become fashinoble of late to hold the 1916 Sykes-Picot Agreement responsible for the current storm surge. On the other hand, Theodor Herzl, the father of political Zionism, published a star-eyed novel entitled Altneuland (Old-New Land) in 1902. Soon after Britain has became the biggest supporter of the Jews, but Britain had to occupy the Ottoman Empire’s lands first with some allies, and so did it. The Allied Powers defeated Germany and Ottoman Empire. Nevertheless, the gamble paid off in the short term for Britain and Jews. In May 14, 1948 Israel was established. Since that day Israel has expanded its borders. Today, new opportunity is Syria for Israel. We think that Israel will fill the headless body gap with Syrian and Iraqis Kurds with the support of Western World. In this article, we will evaluate, and try to explain this idea.
