Zionist Socialists (Ahadot Ha "Avodah), and the other held by the
Communists. A clash occurred between them and the Communists were
driven to Jaffa. Another clash took place between the Arabs and the
Zionists in the al-Mansheiyah quarter of the town. 7” Rumours spread
through Palestine that the inhabitants of Jaffa were attacked by the Jews,
and as a result, demonstrations were held in most of the Palestinian
towns, in which the Arab demonstrators asked to be allowed to bear arms
to protect themselves from the armed Jews.
By the end of 1923, there was a growing belief among the Palestinian
Arabs that the mandate administration was pro-Zionist. This belief was
strengthened when Churchill, the Colonial Secretary, issued a white
paper which included the British policy towards Palestine. The British
commitment to the Jewish national home was confirmed in this paper. 7
The first two months of 1925 witnessed another wave of protests,
demonstrations and strikes. Between 1925 and 1928, the country
witnessed a relative calming of the political atmosphere. This was due to
two reasons. First the notable decline in Zionist activity and Jewish
immigration. Second, a decline in the activities of the national
movement, mainly because of internal conflicts within factions. The
relative slowdown of political activities, however, did not calm the
Palestinian Arabs’ feelings of fear and concern over the Zionist project
or the British intentions towards the country.
