1929 Western Wall Riots: Palestine's Violent Turning Point
Om avsnittet
In August 1929, a dispute over Jewish worshippers at the Western Wall in Jerusalem sparked a week of riots that left over 250 people dead across Palestine. This episode walks through the events of that summer: the provocations, the massacres in Hebron and Safed, the British failure to keep order, and the Shaw Commission that followed. We explore the role of the Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini, the Zionist mobilization, and how the violence shattered any remaining hope for cooperation under the Mandate. For listeners following Palestine's history episode by episode, this is the moment when communal tensions turned into an open national conflict.
