    The people the Yishuv bought off were prominent Arab families - which they would be by default as large land owners. The main reason that only 5% was bought was because the British made it ILLEGAL for Jews to buy land and because the Mufti's mafia were carrying out a campaign of terror and intimidation against "collaborators" - the majority of Arabs killed in the Revolt in 1936-39 was at the hand of other arabs.
