Bottom line is that Arabs actively destroyed Ottomen empire.
However Arabs cannot be blamed for Ottoman destruction. They were sick, and they were going to die soon anyway.
Where Palistinians made mistake is to not sense the change in world especially during and after WWII.
During WWII, Peli leader Mufti Azam became Hitler / Nazi's toady. He was given some kind of ministry in the sham court of Hitler.
Once the WWII was over, Palis sided with Commie Soviets.
This was a series of blunders by Palistinian leaders including Mufti Azam and then Arafat to pick the wrong super power.
In both cases first the Nazis and then Commies were defeated and what they say! If you side with losers you will be a loser.
Jordanian king begged Palistinians not to do terror attacks on Israel. But they didn't listen. When Israeli army came knocking, these so called Fidayeen ran like rats.
Another cruel thing that Fidayeen and Arabs nationalists never understood that hijacking airlines is a dumbest thing to do.
The whole world peed on them when they saw Palestinians hijacking planes.
Terror without correct political alliance is loose loose proposition. But Palestinians and Arab nationalists continued doing so as if there was no end.
Saudis btw started out right. They were forward looking, they picked the right super power, and they controlled themselves until 1980s.
However unfortunately the educated Saudi youth succumbed to the mirage of pan-Islamism and thus ended up siding with terror.
The bottom line is that WWI actions were not the only mistake made by Arabs.
There were blunder after blunder after blunder that resulted in the current mess.
peace.
I guess if you wanted to live to your name you would have mentioned that the 1948 war the soviets were the ones helping Israel through Czechoslovakia. And the British were with Arabs at the time......
And when you say "Bottom line Arabs actively destroyed the Ottomans" you are generalizing ALL Arabs. A true Historian would never do the mistake of Generalization.
