Palestine. The first Intifada
Description
The Intifada, as the Palestinians call their uprising against the Israeli military occupation of their land, has been characterised by acts of violence from both sides. However, 50 years ago it was the British who were the focus of a rebellion by Palestinian Arabs. Timewatch investigates that uprising, talking to many elderly Palestinians, Britons who served in the Palestinian Police Force and General Hackett of the British Army in Palestine.
