In this episode we explore the history of the Arab Revolt (1936-39), the first attempt to solve the political crisis in Palestine through armed, organized violence. As we'll see, the revolt proved to be a massive failure, badly damaging the Palestinian national cause. Topics covered in the episode include the story of Izz ad-Din al-Qassam - the intellectual founder of Hamas, Nazi efforts to spread anti-Judaism in the Middle East, tactical and strategic discussion about (Arab) insurgency and (British) pacification efforts, and the hidden Palestinian civil war.
To jump to a particular topic click on the following links: Intro (0:50); Background (12:17); The Nazi role in the Revolt (15:48); Al-Qassam and Origins of ‘Armed Resistance’ (29:32); Part I: the General Strike (39:13);
Intermission: the Peel Commission (58:07);
Part II: Insurgency and Pacification (1:07:43);
Part III: the Revolt as Palestinian Civil War (1:23:39);
The Jewish Role in the Revolt/Night Squads (1:33:51);
The End of the Revolt (1:43:50).
