First, some historical context:
A violent uprising broke out in Palestine in 1929. Unlike the localized clashes since 1880 when Zionists started settling Palestine, the 1929 violence spread across the whole country.
133 Jews were killed, some in gruesome acts of mob violence. 6 Zionist colonies were entirely destroyed. Even old Jewish communities, which predated Zionism, were attacked in Hebron and Safed. 116 Palestinians were killed by British colonial forces and Zionist militias.
