Between 1936 and 1939, violent riots rocked the British Mandate of Palestine. Jews traveling from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem faced deadly attacks, and the British struggled to contain the unrest between Jews and Arabs. In response, the British government formed the Peel Commission to investigate and recommend a solution. This video recounts the dramatic and historic moment when David Ben Gurion, future Prime Minister and then-head of the Jewish Agency, testified before the Peel Commission in 1937. A powerful reminder of identity, legacy, and the spiritual claim to the Land of Israel that continues to resonate to this day.
