Palestinians and Jews both celebrated the Young Turk Revolution, only to be alienated by the new regime—Fishman

The House of Wisdom

Mustafa Gürbüz, a sociologist at American University and the host of The House of Wisdom podcast for Ahval, interviewed with Louis Fishman, an associate professor at Brooklyn College at City University of New York, on his recent book that provides a historical account on the Young Turks’ policies and the question of Palestine. Jews and Palestinians in the Late Ottoman Era, 1908-1914: Claiming the Homeland examines how the Young Turk Revolution and the new constitutional freedoms exacerbated divisions between the communities, rather than serving as a unifying factor.
