Шаблон:Short description Al-Futuwwah (Arabic: فتوة - "The Youth" or "The Brotherhood") was the youth organisation of the Palestine Arab Party in Palestine. The organisation was created in February 1936 by the al-Husseinis to counteract their rivals' al-Nashashibis National Defense Party. It was, to some extent, modelled on the Hitler Youth organisation in Germany.[1]

Origins

The Palestine Arab Party was founded at a congress in March 1935, when Jamal al-Husayni was elected President.Шаблон:Sfn One of the tasks pursued by the heads of the Party was to create a youth branch; scouts of young Palestinians who participated in the political feuds of the time.[2]Шаблон:Sfn This was actively pursued by the General Secretary Emil Ghuri, who at first tried to work through the Boy Scouts, later creating a separate organisation. For a short time they called themselves the "Nazi Scouts" and then renamed it to al-Futuwwah, meaning 'chivalry' in Arabic.Шаблон:Sfn

At the founding meeting on February 11, 1936, Jamal al-Husayni noted that Hitler's followers had grown in number from six to six hundred to sixty million and expressed the hope that al-Futuwwah would also be a nucleus of national resurrection.Шаблон:Sfn The following credo was adopted:

Liberty is my right; Independence is my goal; Arabism is my principle; Palestine is my country and mine only. This I attest and God is a witness to my words.Шаблон:Sfn

Later developments

Al-Futuwwa was broken up by the British in 1937 during the Arab Revolt.[3] It was re-established in September 1946 and Kamil Arikat was made its commander.[3] Its main task was to support the leadership of Jamal al-Husayni by opposing al-Najjada.[4] Its members wore uniforms and had superficial military training, with estimates of their strength ranging from 2,000 to 5,000, not existing as a signifiance force in the Palestinian political sphere.[3]Шаблон:Sfn An official merger of al-Futuwwa and al-Najjada was announced later that year, but in practice they continued to operate separately.[3] For al-Najjada and al-Futuwwa, by the summer of 1947 they were already dispersed as any serious militant organization.[5]
