The 1920 Nebi Musa Riots: Palestine's First Outburst Under British Rule
Om avsnittet
In April 1920, during the Muslim festival of Nebi Musa, Jerusalem erupted in violence that would reshape Palestinian politics for decades. This episode examines the riots through the lens of competing nationalisms, British military mismanagement, and the rise of Haj Amin al-Husseini. Lucas and Luna unpack the festival's significance, the role of Arab nationalist speeches at the Jaffa Gate, the chaotic British response, and how the violence accelerated the shift from military to civil administration under Herbert Samuel. They also explore the aftermath: the trial of Arab leaders, the fleeing of al-Husseini to Transjordan, and his eventual appointment as Grand Mufti — a decision that would haunt the Mandate. A story of festival turned battle, of missed opportunities, and of a land spiraling toward conflict.
