With illegal immigration on the increase in Mandate Palestine and with the dark promises of the Balfour Declaration hovering over the country, Palestinians issued this formal warning to Britain that unless it changes its policies facilitating Jewish immigration to Palestine, dire consequences will ensue. As we all know, Britain never heeded this warning and the Palestinian riots engulfed Palestine from 1936-1939 in civil protest and during which innocent lives were lost.
According to British source at the time, more than 2000 Palestinians were killer and over 100 were hanged because of this Revolt. Although eventually squashed by British Forces in Palestine (some were brought in from outside the country), the consequences of this Revolt were felt in the events of the 1947-48 zionist armed invasion of the country. They have shaped this conflict ever since.
