22 Aug 1922 Jahr - Fifth Palestine Arab Congress

Beschreibung:

The fifth congress opened on 22 August 1922, following the return of the London delegation led by Musa Kazem, who discouraged anti-British agitation and violence, and reported that there were still possibilities for progress through negotiations. The congress passed several resolutions including rejecting the new constitution, boycotting elections for the proposed Legislative Council, establishing a London bureau, boycotting Jewish goods including Pinhas Rutenberg's planned electricity supply, forbidding land sales to Jews, forbidding Jewish immigration, and pledging to oppose the establishment of a Jewish national homeland. Prior to the congress, its executive committee had launched a fundraising campaign supporting a general strike held on 13–14 July 1922, raising funds through the sale of National Movement stamps that depicted the Dome of the Rock and bore the slogan "Palestine for the Arabs" in English and Arabic.
