	Tel Aviv, Israel - Travel Photos by Galen R Frysinger, Sheboygan, Wisconsin
		Jaffa was captured by Crusaders in 1126 and again in 1191 and in each case was reconquered by the Muslims (see Crusades).
		Following anti-Jewish riots in Jaffa in 1921, the Jewish population of that town immigrated to Tel Aviv, increasing its population considerably.
		Between 1931 and 1936 the population of Tel Aviv increased from 45,000 to 145,000, primarily because of large-scale emigration of Jews from Nazi Germany.

	Arab Riots of the 1920's
		Samuel met with Haj Amin on April 11, 1921, and was assured "that the influences of his family and himself would be devoted to tranquility." Three weeks later, however, riots in Jaffa and Petah Tikvah, instigated by the Mufti, left 43 Jews dead.
		The Arabs found rioting to be a very effective political tool becasue the British attitude toward violence against Jews, and their response to the riots, encouraged more outbreaks of violence.
		The riots brought recognition from the international Jewish community to the struggle of the settlers in Palestine, and more than $600,000 was raised for an emergency fund that was used to finance the cost of restoring destroyed or damaged homes, establish schools, and build nurseries.

	DiLorenzo and His Critics on the Lincoln Myth by James Ostrowski
		Jaffa tries very hard to give the reader the impression of something that isn’t so: that there is some necessary or logical connection between the right of secession and a pro-slavery attitude.
		Jaffa agrees with Lincoln that bullets were necessary to ensure that ballots could not be overruled by bullets, neither realizing that ballots were backed up by bullets in the first place.
		Jaffa argues that the South’s secession was illegitimate because "they could not consistently demand the benefit of being ruled only by their consent" while denying that same right to slaves.

		From this it could be said that Jaffa also marked the birth of the Egyptian awareness of the Palestinian cause.

	Palestine Arab Riots 1920-21
		The first Arab riots of the Mandate period took place in Jerusalem in the intermediary days of Passover, in March 1920 ("Bloody Passover").

		Although the panel concluded that the Arabs had been the aggressors, it rationalized the cause of the attack: “The fundamental cause of the riots was a feeling among the Arabs of discontent with, and hostility to, the Jews, due to political and economic causes, and with their conception of Zionist policy...”
		Riots were openly rehearsed, and the Government allowed the Arab press to keep up a daily barrage, systematically branding the Jews as “the human sexual disease”, “a gang of swindlers” and “a menace to all mankind”.
		As in previous riots, the Jews were rendered impotent by being forcibly disarmed.

	arab Riots
		Both the riots of the past and the ones this very day, are no more than acts of war.
		The only difference between riots and wars is that riots are within a nation while wars are fought between nations.
		It's true that the riots of the past should have been called massacres, and the riots of today could be called terrorist attacks, but I prefer not to distinguish between the two, as the Arab riots have always been only a smaller scale war.

	To return to ourselves - Likoed Nederland
		The riots in Jaffa, Aco, Haifa and Jerusalem clearly show that the Arab fantasy to fulfill the right of return is still alive.
		The absolute rejection of any expression whatsoever of the right of return must be a condition to any agreement, whether it is a partial agreement or a final agreement, and that is a necessary condition for the rehabilitation of our national consensus.
		The willingness to divide the capital of Israel paves the way for the Arab demand to divide other "mixed" cities like Jaffa, Haifa and Ramla, but the unity of Jerusalem is not just the unity of a city, but the unity of a nation.

		In early 1920, Waters-Taylor suggested to his and Storrs' Arab contacts the desirability of organising "anti-Jewish riots to impress on the Administration the unpopularity of the Zionist policy." A detailed critical report of all these activities was submitted to General Allenby by the political officer of the Palestine administration, Col. Richard Meinertzhagen.
