Summary

UIH survey here: https://jewishunpacked.com/uihsurvey ~~~~   Welcome to Season 3 of Unpacking Israeli History!   In the summer of 1929, Jews and Arabs alike found themselves caught in an unbearably bloody battle. The aftermath of a deadly riot showed the Jews of British Mandatory Palestine that the British couldn’t protect them, leading them to unite under the banner of Zionism. In this episode, Noam unpacks the 1929 Hebron Riots and considers why it may be considered “Year Zero” of the Arab-Israeli conflict. ~~~~ This season of Unpacking Israeli History is generously sponsored by Barbara Sommer & Alan Fisher, and by Marci & Andrew Spitzer, and this episode is generously sponsored by Liz and Moshe Neiman. ~~~~ Learn more about Unpacked: https://jewishunpacked.com/about/ Visit Unpacked on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/unpacked  Unpacking Israeli History about Black Saturday: https://jewishunpacked.com/black-saturday-how-far-would-you-go-for-a-homeland/ Unpacking Israeli History about UN Resolution 3379: https://jewishunpacked.com/is-zionism-racism-un-resolution-3379/ ~~~~ Once Upon a Country: A Palestinian Life, Sari Nusseibeh https://www.britannica.com/biography/Amin-al-Husayni https://www.britannica.com/topic/mufti https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/hajj-amin-al-husayni-the-mufti-of-jerusalem A History of Israel, From the Rise of Zionism to Our Time, Howard Sachar Righteous Victims: A History of the Zionist-Arab Conflict, 1881-1998, Benny Morris One Palestine, Complete: Jews and Arabs Under the British Mandate, Tom Segev Reapproaching Borders: New Perspectives on the Study of Israel-Palestine, Sandy Sufian and Mark Levine https://www.haaretz.com/jewish/1929-hebron-massacre-begins-1.5427655 https://www.jpost.com/features/in-thespotlight/this-week-in-history-the-1929-hebron-massacre City of Abraham, Edward Platt https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/the-hebron-massacre-of-1929 http://en.hebron.org.il/history/713 Israel: A History, Martin Gilbert The Claim of Dispossession, Aryeh Avneri Year after the Riots: American Responses to the Palestine Crisis of 1929-30, Naomi Cohen https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015066430987&view=1up&seq=7&skin=2021, The Shaw Report https://www.jta.org/archive/testimony-of-orphaned-jewish-children-moves-hebron-court Year Zero of the Arab-Israeli Conflict 1929, Hillel Cohen http://en.jabotinsky.org/media/9747/the-iron-wall.pdf https://www.sefaria.org/topics/mashiach?tab=sources https://hebronfund.org/the-return-to-hebron-1967/ ~~~~
