apr 4, 1920 - Nebi Musa riots

Description:

5 Jews, 4 Arabs killed; 216 Jews, 18 Arabs, 7 Britons wounded. Several women were raped and two synagogues burned. Started by inflammatory language at an Arab rally, a speech given by the Mufti of Jerusalem Amin al-Husseini, who would later become a Nazi collaborator. Origin of violence uncertain, but a witness reported stone throwing by Arabs and murders in the alleys of Jerusalem, others report stone throwing by Jews as being the instigator.

DISPUTED - Speech made by Nazi, violence instigator unclear, in effect Jewish community harmed the most. In my personal opinion, the Nazi's speech tips the scale and makes this the fault of the Arabs but I cannot in good conscious present this as objective fact.
