1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine | The 1936 -- 1939 Arab revolt in Palestine was a nationalist uprising by Palestinian Arabs in Mandatory Palestine against the British administration of the Palestine Mandate , demanding Arab independence and the end of Jewish immigration as the League of Nations had authorized in 1922 . The dissent was directly influenced by the Qassamite rebellion , following the killing of Sheikh Izz ad-Din al-Qassam in 1935 , as well as the declaration by Hajj Mohammad Amin al-Husayni of 16 May 1930 as ` Palestine Day ' and calling for a General Strike . The revolt was branded by many in the Jewish Yishuv as `` immoral and terroristic '' , often comparing it to fascism and nazism . Ben Gurion however described Arab causes as fear of growing Jewish economic power , opposition to mass Jewish immigration and fear of the English identification with Zionism . The general strike lasted from April to October 1936 , initiating the violent revolt . The revolt consisted of two distinct phases . The first phase was directed primarily by the urban and elitist Higher Arab Committee ( HAC ) and was focused mainly on strikes and other forms of political protest . By October 1936 , this phase had been defeated by the British civil administration using a combination of political concessions , international diplomacy ( involving the rulers of Iraq , Saudi Arabia , Transjordan and Yemen ) and the threat of martial law . The second phase , which began late in 1937 , was a violent and peasant-led resistance movement that increasingly targeted British forces . During this phase , the rebellion was brutally suppressed by the British Army and the Palestine Police Force using repressive measures that were intended to intimidate the Arab population and undermine popular support for the revolt . During this phase , a more dominant role on the Arab side was taken by the Nashashibi clan , whose NDP party quickly withdrew from the rebel Arab Higher Committee , led by the radical faction of Amin al-Husseini , and instead sided with the British -- dispatching `` Fasail al-Salam '' ( the `` Peace Bands '' ) in coordination with the British Army against nationalist and Jihadist Arab `` Fasail '' units ( literally `` bands '' ) . According to official British figures covering the whole revolt , the army and police killed more than 2,000 Arabs in combat , 108 were hanged , and 961 died because of what they described as `` gang and terrorist activities '' . In an analysis of the British statistics , Walid Khalidi estimates 19,792 casualties for the Arabs , with 5,032 dead : 3,832 killed by the British and 1,200 dead because of `` terrorism '' , and 14,760 wounded . Over ten percent of the adult male Palestinian Arab population between 20 and 60 was killed , wounded , imprisoned or exiled . Estimates of the number of Palestinian Jews killed range from 91 to several hundred . The Arab revolt in Mandatory Palestine was unsuccessful , and its consequences affected the outcome of the 1948 Palestine war . It caused the British Mandate to give crucial support to pre-state Zionist militias like the Haganah , whereas on the Palestinian Arab side , the revolt forced the flight into exile of the main Palestinian Arab leader of the period , the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem -- Haj Amin al-Husseini . |

Seven-time champion , and `` King of stock car racing , '' Richard Petty retired from the sport at season 's end , concluding a year-long `` Fan Appreciation Tour . '' . Petty appeared across the country for autographs and diecast were made of his # 43 car for all 29 of the races he appeared in . The season also saw the quiet debut of future champion Jeff Gordon , who was planning to move up after two seasons in the Busch Series . Gordon debuted the rainbow # 24 Chevrolet at the final race of the year . The season-long championship battle narrowed down to six drivers , the most ever going into the final race of the season . Davey Allison won the season-opening Daytona 500 , and despite a roller-coaster season , remained first , or near the top of the standings all season . Bill Elliott and Alan Kulwicki experienced more consistent results , placing them comfortably near the top . Harry Gant , Mark Martin and Kyle Petty were also factors during the season . Two-time defending champion Dale Earnhardt , however , suffered a dismal season , winning only one race , dropping out several times , and finished outside the top ten at season 's end , for just the second time in his Cup career . The season 's climax occurred at the final race of the season , the Hooters 500 at Atlanta . Six drivers entered the race with a mathematical chance at winning the Winston Cup championship . Davey Allison led the charge , but ultimately fell short when he was involved in an accident . The race , and the championship came down to a two-man battle between Bill Elliott and Alan Kulwicki . Elliott won the race , while Kulwicki finished second . Kulwicki led 103 laps during the race ( compared to 102 by Elliott ) , clinched the 5 bonus points for leading the most laps , and won the Winston Cup title . Tragically , only months later , both Alan Kulwicki and Davey Allison would be killed in separate aviation crashes . |
