'''1920 riot'''
At the 1920 '5680 Events' / Meoraot-Tarap / Nebi Musa Riots, when the Arab masses ''shouted, "Palestine is ours and the Zionists are our dogs; we have weapons enough; slaughter don't be afraid!" No one was arrested. Falastin praised the behavior of the crowd.''<ref>[https://www.nli.org.il/en/newspapers/plb/1931/04/13/01/article/16 The Palestine Bulletin 13 April 1931]<blockquote><small>Danger of Incitement...

On March 1, 1931, the ''Falastin'' attempted to resurrect the ancient blood libel.

THE BLOOD LIBEL
Davar writes:
The Hebrew press of Palestine has given no dublicity to the infamous and disgusting libel which Falastin has attempted to spread. It was the immediate action of the Government which delivered us from the necessity of sounding an alarm against the snares which our enemies have prepared for the Jews of Palestine.
The fact remains, however, that here, in the country of the Jewish National Home, a shameful attempt has been made to revive the blood libel, the symbol of human meanness of blind, religious fanaticism, of blood-thirsty instigation against the Jew. If we are in need of a proof, after what has happened to us of late, to detect the presumptions wickedness of a certain type among our enemies, this is proof enough.
Moreover, it shows us just who are attempting to creat at the Arab National Movement. There were some who tried to justify the Arabs' actions in the August riots by claiming that the Arabs were reacting unfavourably to what they called the Zionist "stealing"[sic] policy, and Jewish "dominationo[sic]!" We retorted that the excuse was flimsy; that the August riots were not a spontaneous uprising but a carefully guarded flame fanned by an infamous religious libel. He who doubted our argument can see for him-self Falastin's latest attempt. It shows that it is not the MacDonald letter which has roused the Arabs, but clearly enough, nefarious instigation and the instigators feel that nothing less than a religious libel, would bring about the recurrence of the bloody events of August 1929.

Al Iqdam did not, as reported in the Palestine Bulletin, carry the, blood libel story above referred to. On the contrary, it contained a reasoned criticism of the lie and denied that there was any basis for it.

''El Carmel'' complains against the suspension and ''Meraat al Sherk'' pleaded with the government to show patience.<ref>[https://www.nli.org.il/en/newspapers/plb/1931/03/08/01/article/21 The Palestine Bulletin 8 March 1931].<blockquote><small>
Action Against Falastin
It is believed that the Government, which has already suspended Falastin, will bring criminal action against the editor and the publishers for the publication of the Blood Libel story.
THE BLOOD LIBEL STORY
El Carmel has published the full text together with the exact headings, which was printed by Falastin last Sunday and for which ot was suspended.
El Carmel complains against the suspension and begs the Government to consider the paper's situation in comparison with the policy which she is perusing in this country.
Meraat al Sherk expects that the Government should show more patience with a paper such as Falastin which serves Palestine honestly.</small></blockquote></ref>
(Worth mentioning, Falastin, at the same March 1, 1931 issues, hailed years of Jihad).
