The British Mandate's Forgotten Arab Elite
Om avsnittet
We trace the political fracture within Mandatory Palestine’s Arab leadership, focusing on the bitter rivalry between the Husayni and Nashashibi families. While Haj Amin al-Husayni mobilized mass resistance against the British and Zionist settlement, Raghib al-Nashashibi pursued a pragmatic path of cooperation with the Mandate authorities. This episode explores how this elite divide shaped policy responses to the 1936 Arab Revolt, the failure of the Peel Commission’s partition proposal, and the long-term consequences for Palestinian national identity. We examine specific events like the 1920 Nebi Musa riots, the formation of the Independence Party, and the role of the British in balancing these competing factions to maintain control over the region during a period of intense upheaval.
