The 1946 Palestine General Strike was a general strike that lasted approximately three weeks.[1] It was the largest strike since the beginning of British rule in the early 1920s.[2] The strike was also notable for its participation; the strike involved both rank-and-file workers, along with white-collar employees and united Arabs and Jews.[1] More than 50,000 workers--approximately 15% of the Palestinian working class--participated; 25% of workers in Palestine were affected by the strike.[3]
