The 1911 Port of Jaffa Strike: Palestine's First Organized Labor Action
Om avsnittet
In 1911, Palestine's first organized labor action erupted at the Port of Jaffa, when Jewish and Arab workers struck together against oppressive subcontractors. Lucas and Luna explore the strike's origins in the Ottoman labor system, the role of the kaymakam and mutasarrif, and the surprising solidarity between fellahin and Jewish immigrants. They discuss how the strike foreshadowed later labor movements, the response from local newspapers like al-Karmil, and the broader implications for Palestine's economy under Ottoman rule. This episode sheds light on a forgotten moment of cross-community cooperation and the seeds of organized resistance in the years before World War I.
