@henryed07@KathrynPorter26 And the impotent police just standing and watching. I bet a silent protest about novak would have been met with force by cops on riot gear. Yet this mob are shouting and throwing pamphlets making a mess
What followed was savage. Men, women, and children were hacked to death with axes and knives. Attackers cut off hands and fingers to steal rings. They held victims’ heads over stoves until they burned. Eyes were gouged out with hot pokers. One rabbi was scalped, his brain removed. Six yeshiva students had their throats slit while sitting on an elderly woman’s lap, and she was still alive as it happened. Men were mutilated, their genitals severed and stuffed into their mouths. Women and girls as young as 13 were raped in pools of their families’ blood, often in front of dying relatives. Mothers and grandmothers suffered the same fate. Infants were smashed against walls or stabbed in their mothers’ arms. Children watched as parents were butchered, their bodies left in pieces.
The Slonim house turned into a slaughterhouse. Blood splashed up to the 12-foot ceiling. The floor was covered in a huge pool of it, mixed with broken furniture, smashed clocks, and torn clothes.
Severed breasts from women lay scattered. Bloody women’s underwear was draped over a picture of Theodor Herzl, the founder of Zionism. The air reeked of death. Similar scenes played out in other homes. At the Anglo-Palestine Bank, where Jews sought refuge, the mob broke in and committed the same horrors of cutting, burning, raping, and killing.
The yeshiva was destroyed. Students were chased down and slaughtered. A delegation of Jews trying to reach the police station for help was lynched in the street. The ancient Avraham Avinu Synagogue was ransacked, its holy books torn and burned. For hours, the screams echoed through Hebron. Some Jews fled to the Beit Romano police station, which became a makeshift shelter. But even there, mobs tried to break in, shouting threats. Over three days, Jews were trapped inside, burying the dead at night in the old Jewish cemetery.
Not all Arabs joined the violence. About 19 families hid Jews, risking their lives. One man named Abu Id Zaitoun protected a family with swords, then escorted them to safety. These acts saved hundreds. But they were exceptions. The police, mostly Arab, either stood by or joined in. The single British officer couldn’t stop the chaos alone.
By the end, 67 Jews were dead, 55 Ashkenazi and 12 Sephardi. Over 60 were wounded, many with lifelong scars. Twelve Americans were among the killed, all unarmed civilians. The massacre spread fear across Mandatory Palestine’s Jewish communities. In nearby Safed, similar attacks killed 18 Jews, with bodies mutilated, heads smashed, hands cut off, people burned alive.
After the massacre, British forces arrived too late. They evacuated the surviving Jews from Hebron, ending a Jewish presence that dated back thousands of years. The city became free of Jews until after 1967. A British inquiry blamed the violence on Arab incitement but punished Jews by limiting immigration and land buys. This encouraged more attacks in the 1930s. The Mufti later allied with the Nazis, showing his deep hatred.
The Hebron Massacre showed how lies and hatred could turn neighbors into killers. It destroyed trust and boosted Jewish self-defense groups like the Haganah. Today, it reminds us of the fragility of peace and the cost of unchecked propaganda. The victims’ stories live on in survivor accounts, a warning from history.

@megbasham@realDailyWire This banana republic leader is tone deaf. He does not address the root cause
.... only ever has something to say about the justifiable rage from the unheard citizens
@Mrbandot1@RealJamesWoods And this tolerant mentality is what the same group prayed on in Iran and elsewhere until they conquered the political and judicial systems . They not even hiding it any more
