The 1910 Jaffa Orange Grove Destruction: Scorched Earth in Palestine
Om avsnittet
In 1918, the retreating Ottoman army under Jamal Pasha ordered the systematic destruction of thousands of Jaffa orange groves, the backbone of Palestine's export economy. Lucas and Luna explore the scorched-earth tactics that devastated the shamouti groves, the British use of Jewish agronomist Aaron Aaronsohn to map the orchards, and the long economic consequences for Arab fellahin. They also discuss the American Colony of Jerusalem's photographic documentation and the strange story of the Sassoon family's attempt to save their trees. This episode dives into a specific, devastating moment of World War I in Palestine that reshaped the land for generations.
