	Palestine Arab Riots 1929
		By the end of the riot, during which the British police did nothing to protect the Jews or stop the violence, sixty-seven Jews were dead and hundreds wounded.
		At the end of the three days the Jews were sent to Jerusalem, exiled from their homes for the crime of being a victim of the Arab riot.
		These arguments led to an outbreak of Arab violence in August 1929 when Haj Amin al-Husseini, Mufti of Jerusalem, fomented Arab hatred by accusing the Jews of endangering the mosques and other sites holy to Islam.

	Welcome To Haifa
		In 1929, the Government of Palestine invested heavily into Haifa City and especially in its port (almost 1.25 million Palestinian Pounds) because of the need to refine and export the Iraqi oil, and it in 1933 the port was officially opened for business.
		Before Nakba, Palestine had three operational airports at al-Lydd, Haifa, and Kalyah, and in 1944, all of these airports received 2,207 plans which altogether carried 5,582 passengers.
		It should be noted that the people of Balad al-Shaykh had nothing to do with Oil Refinery riots, and the Haganah made the choice of picking an easy target to avenge the death of the Jewish workers at the Oil Refinery.

	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.
		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.
		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.

	1948 Arab-Israeli War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During the riots in Palestine of 1929, 67 Jews were massacred in Hebron, and most of the survivors were driven out.
		The British Army frequently intervened, but as the end of British involvement in Palestine drew nearer and attacks on them by Irgun and Lehi increased, their intervention grew steadily more inconsistent and reluctant.
		On November 29, 1947, the United Nations General Assembly approved a plan which partitioned the British Mandate of Palestine into two states: one Jewish and one Arab.

	Commentary Magazine - The Year After the Riots: American Responses to the Palestine Crisis of 1929-30, by Naomi W. Cohen
		...In this period, American Jews were not as yet the acknowledged center of the Diaspora, and the riots themselves were not, in and of themselves, an irreversible turning point in the Jewish struggle for Palestine...
		...Even though there were several Americans among those who died in the riots, and even though American Jews and a number of Congressmen were urging the Department to act, it refused to take up the Zionists' case...
		Some 130 Jews, including eight Americans, are slaughtered during a week of Arab rioting 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.
		The failure of the Palestine authorities to suppress the revolt by military means led to political measures.
		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.

	MidEast Web - White Paper of 1939
		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.
		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.

	Arab Riots of the 1920's
		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.
		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.

	Zionism The First 120 Years 1882-2002
		An economic crisis erupts in Palestine as a result of the bloody riots and the separation of the Jewish economy and the Arab economy.
		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.
		This constitutes the beginning of the bloody riots that come to be called the 1936-39 riots or the Arab Rebellion, during which some 400 Jews are killed and thousands injured.

		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.
		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.

	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.

	Arab-Israeli Conflict #1: Pre-State Palestine
		Palestine was never an exclusively Arab country, although Arabic gradually became the language of the majority of the population after the Muslim invasions of the 7th century.
		In the early 20th century, the Arabs found rioting to be a very effective political tool, because the British attitude toward violence against Jews and their response to the riots encouraged more outbreaks of violence.
		It was this closing of the gates of Palestine, more than anything else, that stimulated the Jewish resistance movement and convinced the necessity of establishing a Jewish state in Palestine.
