Massacre of Arabs by the British in defense of Zionists

After the British Mandate over Palestine, the British Prime Minister and Council of Ministers agreed with the suggestion of the Zionists and appointed English Jew Herbert Samuel as the British High Commissioner in Palestine. This appointment was a big blow for Palestinians.
Samuel before entering the Palestine had decided to adopt a bilateral policy and by that force Arabs to accept the British policy based on establishment of a Jewish national homeland in Palestine. So on the one hand, he decided to tell Arabs that establishing a homeland for Jews in Palestine is finished as long as it is concerned with Britain; and on the other hand, he wanted to make the moderate political figures, namely the entrenched interests owners support him through relationships, political permissiveness and "neutrality" in the Balfour Declaration framework. To make Palestine Jewish, British and the Zionists also had common plan which basis was gradual occupation. And this plan should be implemented by encouraging Jews to emigrate to Palestine and the transfer of Arab land to Jews and suspension of Arabs independency.
Samuel after arrival, immediately invited Lords of Jerusalem and its surrounding areas to a meeting on the seventh of July and Haifa Lords were invited to a meeting in the next day. Palestinian national movement boycotted the meetings as it had previously stated that Palestinians cannot officially recognize Herbert Samuel and know him as a pure Zionist.
According to the Zionism - imperialism partnership, Arabs' resistance had in fact began in the years after the First World War which was intensity crushed by the British and the Arabs' killing continued. The first apparent rebellion of Palestinian Arabs against Zionism took place in the fourth to the eighth days of April 1920 in the city of Jerusalem at the "Mosam Al-Nabi" and religious ceremony "Mosum" became severe scene of riots and manifestation against Zionism and colonialism of Great Britain.
In a report prepared by military delegation commissioned to deal with the Arab Revolt, the following points are significant:
a. Arabs have been disappointing of the fulfillment of the independence promises that were given.
B. As a result of the Balfour promise, intense fear has captured the Arabs.
C. Arabs know formation of Jewish national homeland in Palestine as introduction to provide the perfect backdrop for Jewish immigrants flood into Palestine and believe that this would block the economics and politics of Palestine by the Jews and eventually will result in political and economic bondage of Arabs for Jews.
D. The influence of the Jewish Agency in the administrative affairs of the Palestine has caused Arabs' excitement and discomfort. The revolts and struggles are intensely crushed by England side. But with all the repressions, the Palestinian Arabs did not give up the fight and they showed their hatred towards colonists at every opportunity. In order to have a better organize of the struggle that they had begun, Palestinian Arabs started to form the Palestinian Congress. Third Congress of Palestine is important which was formed in the thirteenth in December 1920 in Haifa. In this Congress, a committee was formed and it was chaired by Musa Kazem Husseini. The Congress adopted a resolution that was based on three principles:
A. condemning Britain's Zionism policy that aims to establish a homeland for the Jewish people in Palestine and is based on the Balfour Declaration.
B. Rejection of the principle of Jewish immigration to Palestine.
C. Efforts to form a Palestinian National Authority.
No change was made in British policy by this Congress and the Zionists continued to buy land with England support.
Another face that did a lot of anti-Zionist activities between 1920- 1930 was Haj Amin al-Hussein. But he did not succeed with the Zionists getting stronger during by help of England. One of the weaknesses of Haj Amin al-Husseini and other Palestinian families like Musa Kazem Hosseini was that they believed in a political solution and were expecting to solve the Palestinian problem through negotiation. Given the political approach, they did not cooperate with uprising that Sheikh Izz ad-Din al-Qassam launched because Sheikh Izz ad-Din al-Qassam On the contrary believed that the only solution is an armed uprising.
Sheikh Izz al-Din believed that only a revolutionary power of the people can change the situation and in this regardhe disagrees with the leaders of traditional families. Sheikh Izz ad-Din al-Qassam was born in Syria. He later immigrated to Palestine and began his fight against Zionism and British rule. In 1933, he joined the Haifa Independence Party branch and from this year onwards he started to collect weapons, and thereby was prepared for armed insurrection against the British. Izz al-Din al-Qassam followed these programs:
A. formation a framework for the revolution and the political - military preparation of people.
B. Sheikh Izz al-Din believed that an armed revolution is the only way to end to British colonialism and prevent the formation of a Zionist state.
C. Preparing the people to support these goals.
To realize these plans, Sheikh Izz al-Din created organizations as follows:
1- Preparing the people for revolution and to inform them on how to use guns.
2- Buying, preservation and storage of weapons.
3- Creating a system of reporting and monitoring of transfers of enemy.
4- Giving the maximum possibilities to resist against Zionists.
In this regard, Sheikh Izz al-Din al-Qassam wrote a letter to Haj Amin Al Hussaini and invited him to cooperate and armed insurrection, but Haj Amin al-Husseini said in response that we're looking for a political solution. Ezzedine al-Qassam began an armed struggle against the British with two hundred armed men at his disposal. Qassam was killed in December 1935 in an encounter with the English forces. Following the killing of al-Qassam, the protest that began since the beginning of May 1936 spread throughout Palestine and overcome Palestine. This is the first Palestinian armed conflict with England that lasted five and a half months and continued until 1939.
2400 men were killed and number of wounded was twice in the uprising. The British arrested a large number of Arab leaders and religious figures and destroyed many Palestinian Arabs' villages and locations. The cost of this armed insurrection and large strike after that was about thirty million pounds sterling.
Today Sheikh Izz ad-Din al-Qassam is considered as pioneer of national liberation struggles for the Palestinians. He was the first to speak of a liberation struggle, without which political actions would fail.
In October 1937, Palestinians took up guns once again and again uprising broke out throughout the Palestinian. The armed struggle continued until the summer of 1939, during which six thousand Arabs were killed and about four thousand local residents were killed. Emile Khoury, a Lebanese writer, writes in his book as “15th May 1948" and talks about armed uprising of Palestinians against Zionism in the last years before the outbreak of World War II:
Total martyrs that the Palestinian Arabs had within thirty years from the beginning of Zionism in Palestine to 1939 were thirty thousand armed soldiers or were residents of cities and about forty thousand people were injured and 196 soldiers were executed rule in Palestine by British.
The mass uprising that was close to fruition is broken with the low rating by the British which was publishing "White Book" in 1939 and mediation of Arab kings. Great Britain tried to thwart the revolution at any cost. Great Britain's Colonial Secretary gave a rhetorical in November 24, 1938 in the House of Commons of England which witnessed the profound impact of the Palestinian revolution in the minds of the authorities responsible for that country. In his speech he said:
Arab guerilla warfare gradually evolved till they became a broad and comprehensive and regular revolution against Great Britain. Although our troops throw away rebels from the city of Jerusalem that had been taken before, and took Jericho back from rioters, take back lost control of Gaza city and seized Beersheba again ... we have the power to hold order of Palestinian forcibly...
Arabs have had sovereignty in this land since centuries ago, and they had lived there; at the time of the Balfour Declaration, the landlord did not agree and formation of a caretaker government was also done without the consent of the Arabs and now all Arabs with rage ask this question that: Is this devastating war going no end before sentencing us to death in our ancestral homeland and burry us in this small country? If we cannot remove the fear that Arabs have due to Jew' domination, we have to go to war in the Middle East with all the Arab countries, and always settle a large part of Army of Great Britain in the Palestinian and this has many problems but is a load that weighs on the shoulders of the state and nation.
Following the public uprising, England formed numerous committees to address the situation, and finally, in 1939, they published the third "White book". The book, which determined Great Britain's policy in Palestine for a period of ten years, predicted the establishment of an independent state in Palestine with two nationalities. It also reduced Jewish immigration to Palestine which was one of the main demands of Palestinians. White book included the following points:
a. England will rule Palestine.
B. Talks should be done about the constitution of next 50 years, and negotiations should take place for independency in the next ten years.
C. It was decided that during the next 5 years, 75 thousand other Jews were allowed to immigrate to Palestine, but after immigration of them, immigration is subject to the consent of the Arabs.
E. Sale of land to Jews in some areas was restricted and prohibited in other areas.
F. it was supposed that Palestine is nor in form of an Arabic government neither as a Jewish state. By creating a unified state of Arabs and Jews, the Jewish population should be kept as much as one-third of the Arab population.
