Abstract
This article delves into the Jewish community’s response to British policy in Palestine during 1939 . At the time, the British government explored different methods to resolve the national conflict in Palestine, including a failed plan to divide the land . In May of that year, the British government introduced a new policy known as The White Paper policy, which was met with strong opposition from the Jewish community, who began preparing for a protest . By analyzing historical newspapers and archive documents, this article aims to depict the Yishuv’s arrangements for the demonstrations . In particular, the article focuses on the soundscape of the protests –which includes voices, noises, and silence – to illustrate their significance and impact.
