Talk:Jamal al-Husayni

Editing this article
I would like to add some more information about Jamal and hope to do so slowly in the coming weeks. I added some information regarding the two clubs that Jamal belonged to in 1918-1920. Adding this information makes it clearer why the British arrested him later. Plan to add more to this bio as time goes on, and hopefully even start and article about the two clubs.

From one source: "Al-Nadi al 'Arabi had similar origins. Like al-Muntada al-Adabi, it was founded as a society for expatriates - in this case, for Palestinian Arabs in Damascus associated with the mainly Syrian Arabist society al-Fatat " & ''" During the period 1918- 1920 the members of al-Muntada al-Arabi became passionately committed to the idea of Palestine's inclusion in Faysal's proposed kingdom.  Using a polictical rhetoric honed in Istanbul and Damascus, they fused concepts of pan_Arabism and anti-Zionism to support Faysal's bid for authority over a new Greater Syrian nation- vigorously opposing the idea of puttin Palestine and Syria under a British and French "mandate", which they viewed (accurately) as a euphemism for colonial control.  In May 1919 this activity reached a level that prompted the British government to prohibit any further meetings, speeches, or public activities by the club. These orders did not, however, prevent al-Muntada al-Adabi from spearheading an anti-Zionist demonstration in Damascus in the summer of 1919.'' <

The part in the Youth section about Jamal's friends being arrested came before his membership in that club so seems irrelevant. The section includes this: ''"Jamal and his peer group moved in elite Palestinian circles. His relative, Amin was to become head of the Supreme Muslim Council. His brother-in-law, Musa Alami, worked in the British administration and rose to become personal secretary to the High Commissioner. Musa's wife was the daughter of Ihsan al-Jabri one of the Arab delegates to the League of Nations.[11]

Later his young cousin Abd al-Qadir was to become a Palestinian military leader fighting the British in 1936-39 and the emerging Israelis in 1948."  which comes much later after 1920's so should be moved further down in the article and what is the relevance of a cousin becoming a military leader? There is much work to be done on this article to make it a good one.  Opportunidaddy (talk) 19:08, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
