The 1936 Palestine riots marked the beginning of the 1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine, a nationalist uprising by Palestinian Arabs against British colonial rule and mass Jewish immigration.

Key Events and Causes

• Trigger: The unrest erupted in mid-April 1936 following retaliatory killings between Arabs and Jews after the death of followers of the slain anti-colonial preacher Sheikh Izz al-Din al-Qassam.
  
• The Jaffa Riots: Violent clashes broke out in Jaffa riots (April 1936) on April 19, 1936, leading to multiple deaths and significant property destruction.
  
• General Strike: The Arab general strike began in Nablus and spread nationwide, lasting for over six months until October 1936.
• Arab Higher Committee: Formed under the leadership of Haj Amin al-Husseini, the committee coordinated political demands for national independence, an end to Jewish immigration, and a halt to land sales.
  
• British Response: Britain suppressed the revolt and dispatched the Peel Commission, which in 1937 recommended partitioning Palestine into separate Arab and Jewish states.

Apopular uprisingbyPalestinian ArabsinMandatory Palestineagainst the British administration, known as theGreat Revolt,and later theGreat Palestinian Revoltor thePalestinian Revolution,lasted from 1936 until 1939. The movement sought independence fromBritish colonial ruleand the end of British support forZionism, includingJewish immigrationand land sales to Jews.

The uprising occurred during a peak in the influx ofEuropean Jewishimmigrants,and with the growing plight of the ruralfellahinrendered landless, who as they moved to metropolitan centres to escape their abject poverty found themselves socially marginalized.Since theBattle of Tel Haiin 1920, Jews and Arabs had been involved in a cycle of attacks and counter-attacks, and the immediate spark for the uprising was themurder of two Jewsby aQassamite band, and the retaliatory killing by Jewish gunmen of two Arab labourers, incidents which triggered a flare-up of violence across Palestine.A month into the disturbances,Amin al-Husseini, president of theArab Higher CommitteeandMufti of Jerusalem, declared 16 May 1936 as "Palestine Day" and called for ageneral strike.David Ben-Gurion, leader of theYishuv, described Arab causes as fear of growing Jewish economic power, opposition to mass Jewish immigration and fear of the British identification withZionism.

The general strike lasted from April to October 1936. The revolt is often analysed in terms of two distinct phases.The first phase began as spontaneous popular resistance, which was seized on by the urban bourgeois Arab Higher Committee, giving the movement an organized shape that was focused mainly on strikes and other forms of political protest, in order to secure a political result.By October 1936, this phase had been defeated by the Britishcivil administrationusing a combination ofpolitical concessions, international diplomacy (involving the rulers ofIraq,Saudi Arabia,TransjordanandYemen)and the threat ofmartial law.The second phase, which began late in 1937, was a peasant-led resistance movement provoked by British repression in 1936in which increasingly British forces were targeted as the army itself increasingly targeted the villages it thought supportive of the revolt.During this phase, the rebellion was brutally suppressed by theBritish Armyand thePalestine Police Forceusing repressive measures that were intended to intimidate the whole population and undermine popular support for the revolt.A more dominant role on the Arab side was taken by theNashashibi clan, whoseNDP partyquickly withdrew from the rebelArab Higher Committee, led by the radicalfactionof Amin al-Husseini, and instead sided with the British – dispatching "Fasail al-Salam" (the "Peace Bands") in coordination with the British Army against nationalist and Jihadist Arab "Fasail" units (literally "bands").

According to official British figures covering the whole revolt, the army and police killed more than 2,000 Arabs in combat, 108 werehanged, and 961 died because of what they described as "gang and terrorist activities".In an analysis of the British statistics,Walid Khalidiestimates 19,792 casualties for the Arabs, with 5,032 dead:3,832 killed by the British and 1,200 dead due to intracommunal terrorism, and 14,760 wounded.By one estimate, ten percent of the adult malePalestinian Arabpopulation between 20 and 60 was killed, wounded, imprisoned or exiled.Estimates of the number ofPalestinian Jewskilled are up to several hundred.

The Arab revolt in Mandatory Palestine was unsuccessful, and its consequences affected the outcome of the1948 Palestine war.It caused the British Mandate to give crucial support to pre-state Zionist militias like theHaganah, whereas on the Palestinian Arab side, the revolt forced the main Palestinian Arab leader of the period, al-Husseini, into exile.
