The 1908 Young Turk Revolution and Palestine's Parliamentary Moment

6 min10 juli 2026

Om avsnittet

When the Young Turk Revolution of 1908 swept through the Ottoman Empire, it promised constitutional government and elections—and Palestine's Arab and Jewish communities responded with a burst of political organizing. This episode follows the 1908 campaign for the Ottoman Parliament, focusing on the surprising alliance between the Jerusalem notable Ruhi al-Khalidi and the Jewish journalist Nissim Malul, who together argued for a shared civic future under Ottomanism. We explore the election itself, al-Khalidi's victory, the short-lived hope for Jewish-Arab cooperation, and how the rise of the Committee of Union and Progress soon soured that dream. Names include Ruhi al-Khalidi, Nissim Malul, Sa'id al-Husayni, the CUP, and the newspaper al-Karmil. A forgotten moment when Palestine's future seemed briefly open.
