Chapters
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn this chapter of Secret History of Israel / Palestine, we look how a small urban Arab elite stole much of region’s land from it’s rightful peasant owners, turning them from an independent tribal peasantry, into a class of impoverished, indebted tenants on their own land.
These events set the stage for much of the conflict to come between Zionists and the majority fellahin class.
We also look at the 19th century origins of Palestinian identity, and early stirrings of proto Arab nationalism.
