ConspiRACISM, conspiRACISTS, as if to say, No, he couldnt have been a rational political actor; he was an Arab. -_- 2 classic examples of conspiratorial conduct with enduring legacies are the collusion between King Abdallah of Transjordan and the Zionist movement in Palestine in the 1940s, and the 1953 overthrow of Iranian Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadeq. King Abdallahs collusion with the Zionist movement was aimed initially at gaining Jewish investment for Transjordan. Later... Abdallah colluded with the Zionists and the British on the partition of Palestine to guarantee the border of Transjordan and to avoid the emergence of a Palestinian state led by the firebrand nationalist and Islamist Mufti of Jerusalem, Hajj Amin al Hussayni... This is often explained by conspiracists as being encouraged or caused by British meddling... Abdallah as a calculating, rational political actor... is often downplayed or ignored... - Mathew Gray, Political Culture, Political Dynamics, and Conspiracism in the Arab Middle East
