villages. Their purpose was to attack the Jewish settlements and sabotage
the crops.
In the early Thirties, he formed a second group known as the
Mohammadian Scout Group. One of its tasks was to ground the beaches
against possible, illegal infiltration by Jewish immigrants. In 1933, ’Arif
joined Hizb Mou'tamar al-Shabab al-’Arabi (the Conference of the Arab
Youth Party), which was established in Jaffa.
Along with other local leaders, *Arif joined al-Qawugji in 1936,
leaving Palestine with him in that year, from Jordan. He soon returned,
however, and began to recruit, organise and prepare for second phase of
the revolt in 1937. By 1938, ’Arif had established control over a large
area in the centre and to the south of Palestine.
In 1938, he was accused of the killing of Hassan Sudqi al-Dajani, a
well-known figure in Jerusalem. Dajani was with the opposition to the
Mufti, and was considered a good supporter of the revolt. According to
Faisal, ’Arif’s son (who denies his father’s involvement in the killing), the
accusation affected relations between ’Arif and the Mufti. The Mufti
wanted to rid themselves of the opposition and blamed the revolt leaders
for it.
Again, in 1938, when the revolt was spreading fast to all of
Palestine, the rebels had the upper hand in many areas. A conflict
developed between ’Arif and Abd al-Rahim concerning overlapping
areas under the control of each. It also involved other, lees important
matters, such as each supporting his respective Fassil commander in any
disputes.
These conflicts and disagreements were discussed in the Deir
Ghassaneh conference, and both, along with the other three leaders
became members of the general command of the revolt.
In April, 1939, almost one month after the death of "Abd al-Rahim,
"Arif ’Abd al-Raziq and 16 of his men surrendered to the French
authorities in Syria. He was treated as a political refugee.
