The 1911 Jaffa–Tel Aviv Water War: Palestine's Underground Conflict
Om avsnittet
In 1911, a water shortage in Jaffa sparked a legal and political battle that revealed the shifting power dynamics of late Ottoman Palestine. When the Jewish-owned Rishon LeZion winery dug a well that threatened Jaffa's ancient springs, the city's Arab mayor sued in Istanbul. The case involved the Ottoman chief engineer, the German consul, and the Paris-based Jewish Colonization Association. At stake was not just water, but the future of land use, urban growth, and communal sovereignty. Lucas and Luna explore how this forgotten court case foreshadowed later conflicts over resources and rights, and what it reveals about the fragile coexistence of Jaffa's diverse communities under the crumbling Ottoman Empire.
