Ichy,
The British were endorsing the emigration of European Jews to Palestine. These Jews shared no culture with the resident palestinians and there was fear of displacement..... The Mufti of Jerusalem played on that fear.. (a Nazi fan himself) to incite the trouble.. It was not as if one day they just woke up and decided to kill all the Jews...

Part of the fault certainly lies with the British who like the French and other European nations have managed to leave behind a legacy of screwed up countries from their imperial days... If the French had never colonised Algeria... would there be so many Muslims in France today ? The British also controlled Iraq and managed affairs in the Middle East to promote easy access to Iraqi oil...

Interestingly the Lebanese civil war was caused by a dissatisfaction of the Arabs with the arrangement for allocating seats which greatly favoured the declining Christian population..

regards
Al
