Israel Palestine 4. Arab Revolt of 1936 Part A

Send us Fan MailThe 1936 Arab Revolt was a turning point in this conflict.   It changed the nature of British policy, of Palestinian politics, and of Jewish politics.  To make this more accessible, I have broken the talk into two parts, A and B. You will notice that these thought were directed to a class.  There are a couple of times when I mention documents.  I wish I could attach documents to these podcasts, but perhaps you can find them on the internet. I suggest that you print out a map of the 1937 partition plan.  It will help when we discuss this. There are some other podcasts coming that pre-date this topic sequentially.   You haven't missed anything.  Interesting factoid:  Izzadin al Kassem, the Syrian religious scholar and reformer who joined the revolt, was killed in his first battle. Also, when I discussed the possibility that my wife might have divorced me when we were living in enya, that was a hypothetical example.  We are still happily married.
