March 1936 CE

Palestine's Jewish population has increased from one hundred and seventy thousand or seventeen percent of the population in 1929, the year of the Wailing Wall disturbances, to four hundred thousand, or approximately thirty-one percent of the total, in 1936, the initial year of the Arab Revolt in Palestine.

The immigration of thousands of German Jews has accelerated the pace of industrialization and made the concept of a Jewish state in Palestine a more formidable reality.

The Irgun, which becomes in 1936 an instrument of the Revisionist Party, commits acts of terrorism and assassination against the British, whom it regards as illegal occupiers, and it is also violently anti-Arab.
