| Jewish terrorism before the establishment of Israel was by far much less effective and brutal in terms of the number of Jews and Arabs killed than Arab terrorism. Jewish terror was intent on establishing a Jewsih state free of Arab opposition of the kind that resulted in the massacre of scores of Jews in Hebron in 1929.The leader of the Muslims in Palestine at that time was Haj Amin al-Husseini, who wanted to destroy the Jews by force or frighten them into leaving by directing violence against the civilians. They were neither Zionists nor European but simply Sephardic,who lived in Hebron because of its biblical significance. |
