{"id":1147,"count":2,"description":"\"The Great Revolt,\" as Palestinians refer to it, also known as \"The Arab Revolt\", was a major rebellion against British rule and Zionist colonization. Initially, it consisted mainly of nonviolent actions such as labor strikes, boycotts, withholding payment of taxes, and protests. <br><br>When this failed to cause the British to leave or halt the immigration of Zionist colonists, a widespread armed uprising broke out in 1937. <br><br>With the help of Zionist militias and the use of brutal force, the British finally managed to suppress the Revolt in 1939, allowing and encouraging the Zionist movement to arm itself and \"carve out an independent enclave for itself in Palestine as the infrastructure for a future state,\" in the words of Israeli historian Ilan Pappe.
