Klappentext

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Seven Lebanese Villages refers to the depopulated villages of Tarbikha, Saliha, Malkiyeh, Nabi Yusha, Qadas, Hunin, and Abil al-Qamh located in what is today Northern Israel. They were destroyed by Israeli forces in the 1948 Palestine War. In 1916, midway through World War I, Sir Mark Sykes of Great Britain and François Georges-Picot of France, drew up a secret plan to divide the Middle East after its capture from the Ottoman Empire. Envisaged as a part of the Sykes-Picot Plan was a line separating Palestine from Syria. It would start from a point between Tyre and Acre, and would run through the Sea of Galilee. At the end of World War II, the British and French established military-run Occupied Enemy Territorial Administrations (OETA). The line separating the northern French OETA and the southern British OETA was an amended version of the Sykes-Picot plan.
