British+Mandate+Palestine


 * Hostility**, **suspicion** and **shifts in policy** contributed to troubles in the **Middle East** region before WWII started. A conference in San Remo in 1922 encouraged Jewish immigration and their growth in population. They actually suggested that the Jewish people double their number by 1930. Arabs interpreted that the UK was inclinated to Jews. In a way, Arabs and Jews were reconciliated, however their relationships were not free of tension. **Arabs felt betrayed by the British** due to the promises made by them to the Jews. In addition, **Arabs claims for independence were** **rejected.** Moreover, the British promoted an increment of the Jewish population and helped the **Zionist cause**. All these factors led to bloody clashes, resentment and hundreds of dead people. (Cannon 84).

In **Jaffa** on May 1921 troubles arised at the eve of the signing of the **San Remo agreement**. Minor revolts continued for a decade until August of 1929 when **Orthodox Jews** tried to separate men from women with a curtain attached to the Wall. Arabs interpreted as Jews claiming control. As result, 250 people got killed and hope for a peaceful Palestine was destroyed. Just in **[|Hebron]**, the entire Jewish community was wiped out. (Cannon 84-85).
