The 1936 Jaffa Orange Riot: Citrus, Labor, and the Arab Revolt
Om avsnittet
In 1936, a dispute over packing crates in Jaffa's orange industry ignited a strike that paralyzed Palestine's largest port and helped trigger the Arab Revolt. This episode unpacks the global citrus trade, the Shamouti orange, the rise of the Jewish labor movement and Histadrut, the Port of Jaffa's closure, and the Peel Commission's response. We trace the roots of the conflict through the landless Arab laborers, the Arab Higher Committee's call, and the British Mandate's delicate balancing act. Discover how a fruit became a symbol of economic nationalism, and how the strike's aftermath reshaped Palestine's political landscape. Join Lucas and Luna as they explore the connections between groves, gates, and the struggle for control over Palestine's economy and identity.
