Galilee and Central areas, but also areas such as Gaza and Hebron which
joined the revolt for national reasons.
Two main conclusions could be drawn from the above points: first,
that the revolt was carried out mainly by the Muslim peasant majority of
the population who also had the lowest economic status; second, that in
addition to the economic objectives of the revolt, there were also
political, national and social objectives, which drew all areas of Palestine
into participating in the revolt.
Forms of Alliances:
Networks of alliances were formed during the revolt on several different
levels which were affected by many factors. Thus the web of relations
between peasants, workers, the middle class urbanites, the notable urban
classes, bedouins, and clans was a much more complicated and tangled
structure than the simplistic description of Bowden acknowledges:
"Structurally, strategically and tactically, the guerrillas
revealed themselves as peasant units each operating after
its own lights in its own field - that area of territory within
which it had won or coerced authority and allegiance”
There were many inter-related factors social, national, religious and
territorial which affected the formation of each alliance. The alliances
themselves were formed on different levels: alliances on class bases, such
as the ones which comprised primarily peasants and workers; alliances
which were based on clan relations; and alliances between notables and
peasants.
