When the protesters started attacking the car, the driver shouted "Heil Hitler", hung the Nazi flag on his car and waved goodbye to the Nazi movement.

| | + | The extent to which the riot in Jaffa was prepared in every detail was evidenced by the Arab leaders' decision -- which was taken at noon that day -- to declare a general strike "until peace is restored." A protest meeting was held in Nablus, which that day took the central place at the forefront of the Palestinian struggle... In Nablus, every Jewish vehicle that crossed the city was also immediately stoned. A protest meeting was also held in Tulkarm. |
| | + | The Germans are celebrating |
| | + | While the curfew went into effect in the two twin cities, the sounds of cheering and joy were heard in the German settlement of Sharona and in the German Valhalla neighborhood in Jaffa. The Germans celebrated the eve of Adolf Hitler's birthday. Arab friends were also present in the houses of the community leaders. |
| | + | Various signs testified that those who organized the riot against the Jews that day targeted the timing for Hitler's birthday; Not much time passed and the compensation that the Arab nationalists received from the Third Reich for their struggle was revealed... |
| | + | The second day of the uprising |
| | + | The next day, Monday, I left for Tel Aviv. Even the sky wept for the lives of the innocent people and rain fell on the city during the funeral. Crowds filled Maze Street where the morgue is located, the nearby Yavne Street and the great Allenby Street. The roofs and balconies of the houses along the route of the mourning journey were blackened by the crowd. The dead were carried on wooden stretchers. The cries of the widows and orphans brought tears to the eyes of the thousands who followed the journey which He made his way to the Tel Aviv City Hall building on Bialik Street. From the balcony of this building, under the national flag draped in black, eulogies were delivered by Mayor and builder of Tel Aviv Meir Dizengoff - the old man, Chairman of the Board of the Jewish Agency David Ben-Gurion and Chairman of the Board of the National Committee Yitzhak Ben-Tzvi. |
| | + | At the moments when Ben-Gurion said in his thundering voice that "the murderers will not be able to terrorize the Jewish population in the Land of Israel and the Jews abroad," the attendants did not know that murder and destruction were once again rampant in Jaffa. |
| | + | That day, the second day of the storm, 5 more Jews were murdered in Jaffa and 29 were injured. But the curfew was lifted in the morning and the crowds in Jaffa began to gather again in the streets and squares, again the instigators from Jerusalem appeared among them, rejoicing over the balance of blood and destruction of the previous day. This time the murders were concentrated in the border neighborhoods that had not been completely evacuated of Jews: Manashia and Abu Kabir...</small></blockquote></ref><blockquote>The Germans celebrated the eve of Adolf Hitler's birthday.
