Abstract
After the riots of August 1929, public security in mandatory Palestine remained tenuous. Inter-communal tensions between Jews and Arabs persisted; and the external circumstances influencing Palestine in the mid-1930s contributed to the possibility of renewed disorder. The persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany and the harsh economic situation afflicting Jews in Poland, Roumania and elsewhere in eastern Europe created large-scale immigration into Palestine. The United States, Canada, Britain, Australia and other countries of the British Empire would not accept more than a trickle of Jewish immigration. The relative ease of entry into Palestine, during the years 1933–36 therefore attracted unprecedented numbers, enhancing the size and confidence of the Jewish community.1
