Yeah, the Muslims were killing Jews and getting away with it. Everything was "going well".There are still Jews in Palestine, as well as Muslims and Druze. Everything was going fine until the Zionists arrived from Europe and the US and launched an invasions, complete with the importation of settlers and a series a campaign of terror and murder to subjugate the local population.
The Hebron massacre refers to the killing of sixty-seven Jews (including 23 college students) on 24 August 1929 in Hebron, then part of Mandatory Palestine, by Arabs incited to violence by false rumors that Jews were massacring Arabs in Jerusalem and seizing control of Muslim holy places.[1] The event also left scores seriously wounded or maimed. Jewish homes were pillaged and synagogues were ransacked.
Soon after, all Hebron's Jews were evacuated by the British authorities. Many returned in 1931, but almost all left again during 1936–1939.[4] The massacre formed part of the 1929 Palestine riots, in which a total of 133 Jews were killed by Arabs, and brought the centuries-old Jewish presence in Hebron to an end.
Looting, destruction and desecration

The attack was accompanied by wanton destruction and looting. A Jewish hospital, which had provided treatment for Arabs, was attacked and ransacked. Numerous Jewish synagogues were vandalised and desecrated.[31] According to one account, Torah scrolls in casings of silver and gold were looted from the synagogues and manuscripts of great antiquity were pilfered from the library of Rabbi Judah Bibas.[32] The library, founded in 1852, was partly burned and destroyed.[33] In one instance, a rabbi who had saved a Torah scroll from a blazing synagogue, later died from his burns.[34]
