    Yes but he also helped in the fight against Germans in both World Wars. Mixed Bag.

    Although if anybody is questioning if he perhaps had good intentions at the time, the answer is definitely not because the land had been ruled by the Ottoman Empire for hundreds of years until they allied with Germany in WWI, after which it became a British Occupied Territory. Meaning there was never any claim that Israel had over the lands justifying the removal of Palestinians. It was bad from the start.

      I wouldn’t put WW1 Germans and WW2 Germans in the same category. Yes, there was a good amount of nationalism in WW1 Germany, but they were hardly special in that regard.
