30 oct. 1933 - 1933 Palestine riots

Description:

The riots came as the culmination of Arab resentment at Jewish migration after it surged to new heights following the rise of Nazi Germany, and at the British Mandate authorities for allegedly facilitating Jewish land purchases.[1]

During the first mass demonstration Stones were thrown by Arabs at the present British police force, and baton charges were made against the crowd, including at a crowd of women.

During the second mass demonstration, at Jaffa in October, rioters armed with knives iron bars and sticks had charged the police force attempting to disperse the illegal (political demonstrations had been banned since the 1929 riots) demonstration, two police officers were stabbed and killed in the ensuing battle, police then fired on the thousands-strong crowd, killing 19 and injuring some 70. The "Jaffa massacre", as Palestinians called it, quickly triggered further unrest, including a week-long general strike and urban insurrections that resulted in police killing 7 more Arabs and wounding another 130 with gunfire.[2] 26 dead 200 injured.
