Description

In part 2 of this series, Yousef continues to trace the history of Palestinian statehood, beginning with the collapse of the Ottoman Empire at the end of World War I.He explores the overlapping international agreements to divide Arab lands, the 1917 Balfour Declaration, the role of Prince Faisal and Ottoman commander Djemal Pasha, and the rise and fall of the short-lived Kingdom of Arab Syria (1918–1920) and the subsequent French occupation. These developments shaped the region and laid the foundations for the ongoing complexities of Palestinian statehood. For details on Tarab Ensemeble's upcoming concert 'Melodies of the Vast Minority', head to melbournerecital.com.au.Join the Free Palestine rally every Sunday at the State Library Victoria, from 12 PM.For info on upcoming events and actions, follow APAN and Free Palestine Melbourne.Catch daily broadcast updates via Let's Talk Palestine. 'The Prisoner's Song' performed by Tarab Ensemble and Victorian Trade Union Choir. Image: Palestine stamp (2015) by Monocletophat123, CC BY-SA 4.0 licence.
