The British, with help from Jews and Arabs, who had both been promised Palestine

Since this is World War One we're talking about, you can assume the answer is a metaphorical yes.
When the British reneged on a deal to deliver two warships, The Ottomans decided that an all-out war to the death was the appropriate retaliation (the concepts of "
de-escalation" and "
tit-for-tat" were not well developed at the time.) Thus died a 600 reich, though their current leader is working on a revival.

Like the Libyans
(Liberated from Mussolini's Blackshirt Parade in WW2) they are not.
One of the defining features of a savage is that they care less about the competence of their government than the skin color of their ruler.
Peace, order, good government? That's
horrible imperialism (Because ruler has white skin). Chaos, war, corruption, famine, genocide, torture chambers? Yay,
freedom (ruler is swarthy)!
They would rather be in the room with a swarthy torturer than with a white teacher.
Of course, True Christians are nothing like this. Did we ever criticize Obama for being foreign to us? No - and I dare anyone to find any evidence of this anywhere.
