	Riots in Palestine of 1929 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the summer of 1929, a long-running dispute between Muslims and Jews over access to the Western Wall in Jerusalem became steadily more violent, erupting in a week of riots in late August.
		During the week of riots, 133 Jews were killed and 339 wounded (mostly by Arabs) and 116 Arabs and 232 wounded (mostly by British -commanded police and soldiers).
		Altogether 195 Arabs and 34 Jews were sentenced by the courts for crimes related to the 1929 riots.

	MidEast Web - White Paper of 1939
		In the light of the discussions as well as of the situation in Palestine and of the Reports of the Royal Commission and the Partition Commission* certain proposals were formulated by His Majesty's Government and were laid before the Arab and Jewish delegations as the basis of an agreed settlement.
		The Administration of Palestine is required, under Article 6 of the Mandate, "while ensuring that the rights and position of other sections of the population are not prejudiced" to encourage "close settlement by Jews on the land", and no restriction has been imposed hitherto on the transfer of land from Arabs to Jews.
		Their purpose is to be just as between the two peoples in Palestine whose destinies in that country have been affected by the great events of recent years, and who, since they live side by side, must learn to practise mutual tolerance, goodwill and co-operation.

	Arab Riots of the 1920's
		Meanwhile, however, the mandate for Palestine had been assigned to Great Britain, and the jubilation of the Yishuv outweighed the desire to protest against the harsh sentence imposed on Jabotinsky and his comrades.
		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.

		Between 1929 and 1939, the Zionist enterprise advanced significantly and a Jewish state in Eretz Israel that in the '20s had been a distant dream appeared, by the end of the 1930s, to be within reach.
		In August 1929, the Jewish Agency was established; a world Jewish body that took upon itself the uniting of Zionists and non-Zionists in order to further strengthen the Jewish Yishuv in Palestine.

	United Nations: VI. Mandated Palestine - Palestinian Resistance
		"The fundamental cause of the Jaffa riots and the subsequent acts of violence was a feeling among the Arabs of discontent with, and hostility to, the Jews, due to political and economic causes, and connected with Jewish immigration, and with their conception of Zionist policy as derived from Jewish exponents.
		An unprecedented feature of this nationalist movement was the open identification with it by senior Arab officials of the Palestine administration who protested to the High Commissioner that Palestinians had been forced to violence because of loss of faith in British pledges and alarm at the extent to which Britain was susceptible to Zionist pressure.
		The failure of the Palestine authorities to suppress the revolt by military means led to political measures.

		In response, the UN convened its first special session in 1947, and on November 29, 1947, it adopted a plan calling for partition of Palestine into Jewish and Arab states, with Jerusalem as an international zone under UN jurisdiction; the Jewish and Arab states would be joined in an economic union.
		In Palestine, Arab protests against partition erupted in violence, with attacks on Jewish settlements in retaliation to the attacks of Jews terrorist groups to Arab Towns and villages and massacres in hundred against unarmed Palestinian in there homes, that soon led to a full-scale war.
		On 15-11-1988, The PNC meeting in Algiers declared the State of Palestine as outlined in the UN Partition Plan 181, and a flag for the new state is presented.

	MidEast Web - Documents and History - Peel Partition Plan and Maps
		The Palestine Order in Council and, if necessary, the Mandate should be amended to permit of legislation empowering the High Commissioner to prohibit the transfer of land in any stated area to Jews, so that the obligation to safeguard the right and position of the Arabs may be carried out.
		The natural principle for the Partition of Palestine is to separate land and settled from the areas in which the Jews have acquired land and settled from those which are who are wholly or mainly occupied by Arabs.
		This is the part of Palestine in which the Jews have retained a foothold almost if not entirely without a break from the beginning of the Diaspora to the present day, and the sentiment of all Jewry is deeply attached to the "holy cities" of Safad and Tiberias.

	Israel Studies--An Attempt to Americanize the Yishuv: Judah L. Magnes in Mandatory Palestine
		This Report, based on the findings of a British commission sent to Palestine to investigate the causes of the August 1929 riots, placed responsibility for the riots on the Arabs, but explained that Arab animosity stemmed from their frustration at having their national aspirations squashed.
		If Palestine were a bi-national state within a federation of Arab states, the "Arabs would be relieved of their present fear of being swamped and dominated by a majority of Jews." Hundreds of thousands of Jewish refugees could thus come to Palestine "without disturbing the political balance."
		Magnes differed from the majority of Zionists in Palestine, because he came out of the First World War concerned about the character of Zionism, he had not experienced the same sense of powerlessness as East European Jews, and he believed in the democratic process as a means to resolve conflict.
