On Emir Faisal ibn Hussein of Mecca (One of the Main Arab Leaders In Their Revolt Against the Ottomans and a Prominent Proponent of the Pan-Arab Movement) Signing an Agreement with Zionist Leader, Chaim Weizmann, Which Expressed Support for a Jewish Homeland In Palestine

    Hussein went on to reiterate this pledge in a 1919 letter to a prominent American Zionist asserting, "We Arabs, especially the educated among us, look with the deepest sympathy on the Zionist movement......and we regard [the Zionist demands] as moderate and proper. We will do our best, in so far as we are concerned, to help them through: we will wish the Jews a most hearty welcome home."
    Wow, so in 104 years we went from this to Hamas murdering over a thousand Jewish (and non-Jewish) innocent civilians. Hopefully the next 104 go better.
