The 1936 Arab Revolt: General Strike and the Birth of Palestinian Nationalism
Om avsnittet
In 1936, Palestine erupted in a three-year uprising against British colonial rule and Zionist settlement. This episode zooms in on the opening phase: the six-month general strike that paralyzed the economy and united Palestinians across class and region. We follow the formation of the Arab Higher Committee under Haj Amin al-Husseini, the role of rural rebels like Fawzi al-Qawuqji, and the British response with collective punishment and the Peel Commission. Lucas and Luna explore how the revolt reshaped Palestinian identity, the split between urban elites and peasant fighters, and the lasting impact on the struggle for self-determination. Specifics include the Jaffa port strike, the Nablus revolt, the role of women in smuggling arms, and the British decision to bring in military reinforcements from Malta. This episode draws on British Mandate records, oral histories, and recent scholarship to tell a story of resistance, sacrifice, and political awakening.
