The 1970 Black September Crisis: Jordan's Civil War and the PLO
Om avsnittet
In September 1970, Jordan descended into a bloody civil war as King Hussein moved to crush the Palestinian fedayeen factions that had turned the kingdom into a state within a state. This episode unpacks the origins of the crisis, from the 1967 war and the influx of Palestinian refugees to the rise of armed resistance groups under the PLO. We dive into the key players: Yasser Arafat, King Hussein, and the hardliners in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, whose hijackings of civilian airliners sparked the confrontation. The battle of Amman and Irbid, the Syrian tank incursion, and the role of Israel and the United States are examined. The episode explores the legacy of Black September, including the formation of the Black September Organization and the PLO's expulsion to Lebanon, which set the stage for the Lebanese Civil War. A crucial turning point in Palestinian history that reshaped the region's politics for decades.
