An early pilot · A community project
QADIYA is an independent, noncommercial community project: an archive of Palestine’s history, built for the cause and open to everyone.
This is an early pilot. Its records were gathered with AI help from cited sources and are still being checked, so don’t rely on them yet, and tell us if something is wrong.
We’re looking for people and organisations to build it with us: historians, archivists, translators, designers, developers, and partners who can support the work.

Linked context in the legacy record
The encyclopedia of the Institute for Palestine Studies (Alex Winder) writes that the combined impact of Britain’s military and diplomatic efforts brought the rebellion to an end in the late summer of 1939, and that in 1939 more Palestinians were killed, more were executed by hanging, and nearly twice as many were detained as in 1938. Over the revolt’s three years, it says, some 5,000 Palestinians had been killed and nearly 15,000 wounded.
