While most histories focus on the political maneuvering of the United Nations or the military campaigns of 1948, Episode 228 turns its gaze to the industrial heart of Mandatory Palestine in late 1947. We explore the massive oil refinery in Haifa, a facility owned by the Anglo-Persian Oil Company that employed thousands of Arab workers. When management attempted to impose martial law and restrict union activity during the UN partition vote, the workers walked out, halting production for weeks. This strike was not just a labor dispute; it became a flashpoint where class solidarity clashed with rising ethnic nationalism. Lucas and Luna examine how the Haifa Refinery strike exposed the fragility of coexistence, the role of British imperial economics, and how economic desperation fueled the early stages of the civil war. We look at specific figures like the union leader Ali al-Salamah and the company’s desperate attempts to break the strike using both police force and divided labor tactics. #HaifaRefinery #AngloPersianOil #AliAlSalamah #1947Palestine #BritishMandate #ArabLabor #ZionistHistory #MiddleEastHistory #OilStrike #Haifa #UNPartition #LabourMovement #Imperialism #FexingoHistory #HistoryPodcast #EconomicHistory #PalestinianHistory #JewishArabs Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
