As a young boy, I read a biography of General Patton. In it, it told how before he landed his army in Morocco, he worried that the Arabs would start a pogrom against the Jews in the absence of order, especially if he had to fight the French.
I thought, “wait a minute - the Arabs are supposed to hate the Jews because of Israel and the Palestinians, but Israel didn’t even exist at that time....”
It started a change in my thinking, even as a kid.
One of Hitler's ideas for implementing the Final Solution, was to ship all of the Jews to Palestine, essentially turning it into one large Concentration Camp, and then letting the Arabs do the Nazis' dirty work for them.
they had issues even during the Mandatory period.
Palestine Police (a British force) had to keep them apart.
