๐Ÿ“… 8 May 1918 ๐Ÿ“ Palestine

Organizations/movement: Muslim-Christian associations. Action: Local Muslim and Christian leaders formed associations, beginning in 1918, to oppose the national-home policy and represent the countryโ€™s Arab population. Result: A network capable of convening national congresses emerged over the remainder of the year. Impact / interpretation: Cross-community coordination gave resistance an institutional base beyond individual petitions. The associations were an important representative effort, while their leadership and membership did not amount to universal electoral representation.
