One of the biggest historical scams people successfully pulled off was convincing the world that Arabs only started massacring Jews in the Land of Israel because of โoccupationโ and modern Israel.
The 1929 Hebron Massacre alone completely destroys that narrative.
On August 24, 1929, Arab mobs in Hebron slaughtered one of the oldest Jewish communities in the world. There was no Israel. No IDF. No checkpoints. No โoccupation.โ No settlements.
Just Jews.
Hebronโs Jewish community had existed for centuries. Many were deeply religious families with roots going back generations, long before political Zionism even existed. But after weeks of incitement and false rumors surrounding Jewish access to holy sites in Jerusalem, Arab mobs stormed Jewish homes and began butchering civilians.
Jews were stabbed, beaten, mutilated, and hacked to death with axes. Families were murdered inside their homes. Synagogues were ransacked. Children and elderly Jews were not spared.
67 Jews were murdered.
Some survivors were only saved because a handful of neighbors hid Jewish families in their homes while the mobs searched the streets outside.
The massacre was so horrific that the surviving Jews were evacuated by the British, effectively ending a Jewish community in Hebron that had existed for hundreds of years.
And this is the part people desperately try to avoid:
This happened in 1929.
Before โoccupation.โ
Before โsettlements.โ
Before โthe Nakba.โ
Before modern Israel existed.
People can argue and complain all day about modern politics, borders, settlements, or governments. But the claim that anti-Jewish violence in the Land of Israel only began because of modern Israel falls apart the moment you look at what happened in Hebron in 1929.
