The 1936 Arab General Strike: Palestine's Summer of Resistance
Om avsnittet
In the summer of 1936, Palestine erupted in a coordinated general strike that shut down ports, markets, and government offices for nearly six months. This episode unpacks the revolt's origins in escalating Jewish immigration and land purchases, the key figures who organized it—Haj Amin al-Husseini, 'Abd al-Qadir al-Husayni, and Jamal al-Husayni—and the British response under High Commissioner Arthur Wauchope. We follow the strike's progression from Jaffa's port to the hills of Nablus, the formation of the Arab Higher Committee, and the violent clashes that led to the Peel Commission. How did a campaign of civil disobedience transform into armed resistance? And why did the strike ultimately fail to achieve its goals? Lucas and Luna explore a pivotal moment when Palestinian national identity was forged in collective action.
