Jerusalem 1936: The Great Revolt That Redrew the City
In April 1936, Jerusalem erupted in a general strike that would spiral into the Arab Revolt, reshaping the city's political landscape for decades. Lucas and Luna explore how the revolt began, the role of the newly-formed Arab Higher Committee under Amin al-Husseini, the British military response under General Dill, and the Peel Commission that followed. They discuss the targeting of Jaffa Gate, the bombing of the Jerusalem railway, the killing of Sheikh al-Khalidi, and the impact of the revolt on Jewish immigration and land purchases. The episode also touches on the suppression of the revolt by the British using special courts and collective punishment, and how the revolt inadvertently strengthened Zionist institutions like the Haganah. A focused look at a pivotal year when Jerusalem became the epicenter of a struggle that would define the modern Middle East.
