Thanks for that link.

What kicked off the 1929 Hebron riots? On August 15, 1929, members of the Betar youth movement demonstrated and raised a Zionist flag over the Wailing Wall. Israeli historian Simha Flapan notes that this was considered "a major provocation even in the eyes of Jewish public opinion." Betar was a youth movement in Jabotinsky's Revisionist organization. Flapan says this organization considered "Hitler the savior of Germany and Mussolini the political genius of the century".

Incidentally, the Revisionist organization is the precursor to today's Likud party.
