The 1917 Nebi Musa Pilgrimage: Jerusalem's Spring of Nationalism
Om avsnittet
In April 1917, as World War I raged and Ottoman rule in Palestine teetered, thousands of Muslims gathered in Jerusalem for the annual Nebi Musa pilgrimage. But this year was different. The procession from the Haram al-Sharif to the shrine of Moses near Jericho became a political demonstration, with banners demanding independence and speeches invoking Arab nationalism. Lucas and Luna explore how this ancient religious festival transformed into a platform for anti-colonial sentiment, examining the role of the Arab Club (al-Muntada al-Adabi), the Islamic Society (al-Jam'iyya al-Islamiyya), and figures like Shaykh Abd al-Qadir al-Muzaffar and Muhammad Hassan al-Budayri. They discuss the British intelligence reports that noted the event, the Ottoman authorities' uneasy tolerance, and how the 1917 Nebi Musa set the stage for the more famous 1920 riots. With the Balfour Declaration just months away, this quiet pilgrimage carried seeds of the struggle to come.
