This micro study explores the transformation of the Palestinian question to a national cause
(qäiya wäaniya) in 1921 while it was advocated for the first time before the League of Nations.
Based on Arab periodicals  such the Jaffan Filas¿in  the Haifa-based Al-Karmil  the Damascene
Alif-Bä  as well as correspondence of the Arab Executive and the Muslim-Christian Association
as the leading local national agents of at the time  it follows the construction of the
Palestinian cause in the post-war context between imperialist aspirations and liberalization
ideologies  and competing national narratives regarding the political future of the region. The
study recalls the establishment of the Arab Executive and the Palestinian Wafd as
representative (mumä¿ila) of the Palestinians  analyses the key arguments and terminology
applied by them as to legitimate their cause before the world  and finally  it also reveals
dissent in the young Palestinian national movement about its set-up  leading positions and
practical political strategies. Doing so  it illustrates an early turning point in the history
of Palestinian nationalism before it adopted a boycott strategy towards the British Mandate.
