The 1929 Palestine Riots and the Western Wall
Om avsnittet
In 1929, long-simmering tensions over Jewish immigration and the sacred sites of Jerusalem erupted into a week of violence that reshaped Palestine. This episode explores the immediate spark: a dispute over a screen at the Western Wall. Lucas and Luna trace the chain of events from the Yom Kippur incident of 1928 through the August 1929 riots, examining the role of Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini, the British mandatory authorities, and the emerging Zionist leadership. They discuss the massacres in Hebron and Safed, the establishment of the Shaw Commission, and the lasting impact on Jewish-Arab relations. Along the way, they consider the interplay of religious fervor, nationalist politics, and British indecision that turned a prayer-screen into a symbol of irreconcilable conflict. This episode offers a nuanced look at a pivotal moment that foreshadowed decades of struggle.
