The First Palestinian Intifada: Roots of Uprising

While the Oslo Accords and Six-Day War dominate popular memory, the First Intifada began as a grassroots explosion of civil disobedience that reshaped the conflict. This episode explores the December 1987 trigger in Jabalia refugee camp, where a traffic accident sparked weeks of strikes, stone-throwing, and underground education. We examine the role of Hamas in organizing resistance alongside secular factions, the British tactic of deportation to Cyprus, and how the uprising forced the world to see Palestinians not just as refugees but as a political people with agency. Through the voices of teachers, students, and local commanders, we uncover how this six-year struggle laid the groundwork for the PLO's eventual return to the negotiating table.
