Dig: Thawra Ep. 14 - The Palestinian Revolution

Featuring Abdel Razzaq Takriti, this is the FOURTEENTH episode of Thawra (Revolution), our series on Arab radicalism in the 20th century. Today’s installment covers the rise of the Palestinian Revolution and then its explosion after the Arab defeat in the June War of 1967 with Israel. Fatah, the Popular Front for the Liberation and Palestine, and other factions launched an armed guerrilla struggle against Israel, engaging the Palestinian people in a full-scale mobilization for their liberation. Also: Ba'athists Aḥmad Ḥasan al-Bakr and Saddam Hussein seized power in Iraq, as did Muammar Gaddafi’s Free Officers in Libya. Support The Dig at Patreon.com/TheDigCheck out our newsletter and vast archives at thedigradio.comSpread the word about Thawra thedigradio.com/ThawraBuy Happy Apocalypse at Versobooks.com Buy Love in the Time of Self-Publishing at Princeton.press/love Hosted on Acast.
