The tale of two Palestinian families: Nashashibi family and Husseini family

The Nashashibi family, a distinguished Palestinian family with roots tracing back to the fifteenth century, played a significant role in shaping the political landscape of Jerusalem. In contrast to their counterparts, the Hussseini family, who espoused militant views, the Nashashibis were known for their moderate political stance. They believed in opposing the British Mandate and Zionism through peaceful means rather than violence. The Nashashibis also demonstrated a willingness to engage in compromise where necessary, an approach that was not always shared among their fellow Palestinians. For example, they were one of the few families who accepted Britain’s partition proposal in 1937. Through their pragmatic approach and commitment to peaceful opposition, the Nashashibi family left an indelible mark on Palestinian history and politics. <a href="https://munaeem.medium.com/the-tale-of-two-palestinian-families-nashashibi-family-and-husseini-family-c9a5419663b9">Website</a>
