I am not saying that ottoman empire should have stayed or if arabs didnt revolt, it could have survived. i am not saying that ottoman empire in its later days was the best place to live (although this is true for everyone including turks) i am saying that it was the worst betrayal because it came during the darkest days of whole turkish history. turks were nearly disappearing from history because of the ww1 and they hit us in the worst time can be imagined. we had seen them as our brothers and always acted according to it. they answered with treachery. i am not angry with them because they revolted. yemenis revolted against ottomans before ww1 and neither me nor any other turks have bad feelings against them. because they were brave enough to face with ottoman forces and was fighting for something they think it is legitimate. arab rebels in ww1, on the other hand, were a bunch of cowards who were fighting for money as you can read from lawrence's memoir. they were only bold enough to attack us when we were fighting with superior forces of britain, russia, and france and even then they only hit us from the back like attacking supply routes, etc. what's worse many of them are still proud of this betrayal. just yesterday lebanon's president tweeted something supporting this. i don't see these people (saudis, emiratis, some of the jordan-syria-palestine arabs) as my brothers or even my friends and i dont have any commitment to them. they can go to hell i dont care. many turks feel this way as well. that is not about nationalism. i love and respect libyans, iraqis, yemenis, algerians, egyptians, bosniaks, circassians, persians etc. we also had some problems with these people in history but i dont hate them. they are brave people who fight like a man.
