- Title
La leyenda de Izz Al Din Al Qassam y su influencia en la insurgencia palestina.
- Authors
CARETTI, Gonzalo
- Abstract
Cleric Izz Al Din Al Qassam (Syria, 1883 - Palestine, 1935) is one of the most mythicized figures of the Palestinian anti-colonialist movement. Leader of an armed uprising against the British Mandate’s authorities in 1935, which lasted only twenty days, his image has had an important impact on the subsequent political and armed movements, as well as on the region’s oral tradition. Since his death, Al Qassam has become a mobilizing resource in the culture of resistance against the occupation. By relying on bibliographical and archival sources, this article undertakes a critical review of his figure and the way his legend has influenced current visions of him.
