المحتوى

Thus when the uprising was taking place he tried to calm and restrain the
masses and he hurried to dissociate himself from it when it ended. On the
other hand, he did not want to lose the trust, or more importantly, the
leadership of the masses. So while he was confirming his loyalty to the
British, he made sure that some of his close associates would appear
publicly and be with the masses - as did some members of the executive
committee.
The uprising of 1929 by the masses, both rural and urban, was a clear
expression of two facts which were widely understood. First, the Jewish
national home was dependent on the help of the British authorities.
Therefore the struggle should be directed against the British mandate as
well as against the Zionist movement. Secondly, it was an expression of
the mistrust felt by the masses towards the methods adopted by the
leadership of the national movement, such as meetings with officials,
delegations, letters of protest and congresses. The most important
phenomenon of the uprising, however, was the participation of the
peasants and the bedouins. Due to the rapidly increasing level of Jewish
land purchase in the 20s, thousands of peasants had become landless,
while the bedouins faced more limitations on the area of land available
for grazing their herds. Furthermore, the economic depression of the late
20’s and in particular the bad harvest of 1929 added to the frustration felt
in the rural areas.
Th n age 1 The Emergen f Political i
The progress of the Jewish national home during the twenties and early
thirties, the clear evidence of British involvement and facilitation of this
project and a failure of the national leadership to articulate a strong and
practical policy towards the struggle, necessitated a new and more
sophisticated form of organisational framework to replace the Muslim-
Christian Associations. This led to the emergence of political parties.
