First Intifada begins in Palestine

37
years ago

09 December 1987,

The first Intifada begins in Palestine. On the eve of the assassination of four Palestinians in the Israeli refugee camp in Jabalia, a disarmed civil resistance was launched in Gaza and soon spread to the West Bank. Beyond the image of the young people who gave stones to the tanks, the disobedience organized by an entire people was an exercise that practiced the collective organization of everyday life. It lasted six years and sent a message to the world: the Palestinians do not accept the occupation of Israel.
