The Palestine revolt of 1936 on film and in literature

7:00pm Fri 26 Mar
melbourne

90 years ago, the British Mandate of Palestine was rocked by a three-year uprising of Palestinian Arabs against British Colonial rule and the growing violent Zionist movement.

The revolt began with a six month general strike and evolved into an armed guerrilla campaign, before being brutally crushed by the British colonial forces and vicious Zionist militia groups that would become the basis for the modern day IDF.

The history of Palestine is littered with many struggles like this, as Palestinians fight heroically against their oppression.
