The political parties in the early thirties could be classified into two
groups according to their structure and ideologies. One group of parties
was formed by the traditional leadership and reflected the factional
rivalry between the two main factions, the Husseini and the Nashashibi.
The parties were structurally a continuation of the old Muslim-Christian
Associations in the sense that they were urban based and their leaders
were the elderly members of notable families who depended on clan and
familial alliances. Ideologically they were anti-Zionist and maintained
friendly relations with the British.
The other group was made up of those parties which had the new
leadership of younger generations. These were educated middle-class
people whose ideology was more radical. Some of these smaller parties
were secret and adopted armed struggle. In general these latter parties
were based along class lines and formed an ideological challenge to the
traditional leadership. On the 4th January 1932, the first National
Congress of Arab Youth was held in Jaffa. A party was founded bearing
the same name during the congress. It was founded by a younger and
more radical generation of nationalists, and its members were mostly
young men. Its programme stressed the following: that Arab countries
were one unit uniting in the effort to achieve Arab independence; and
fight against colonialism and that all Palestinian land was Arab land and
anyone who sold or helped to sell part of it to the Jews committed a
crime of major proportions.» The most important achievement of this
party was the setting up of Arab Boy Scouts, who were the first to guard
the shores against illegal Jewish immigration.
On the 2nd August 1932 it was announced that the al-Istiqlal
(Independence) Party was formed in Nablus. Its nine founders were
Mu’in al-Madi, Izzat Darwazah, ’Awni ’Abd al-Hadi, Subhi al-Khadra,
Rashid al-Haj Ibrahim, Akram Zueiter, Fahmi al-’Abbushi, Dr. Salim
