Palestinians don't only celebrate October 7. They also celebrate Hebron 1929.

The anniversary of the deadly 1929 riots that killed over 100 Jews in Palestine is coming up.

Nesan.net has an article about 1929 painted in glowing colors and lies:

The "Buraq Revolt" was the first Palestinian uprising against the attempts to Judaize Jerusalem during the British Mandate. Large-scale clashes broke out between Arabs and Jews at the Buraq Wall (the western wall of Al-Aqsa Mosque) on August 15, 1929. The revolt culminated on August 23, 1929, with dozens killed and wounded.

The Buraq Revolt erupted when Jews organized a massive demonstration at the Buraq Wall on August 14, 1929, to mark what they called the "anniversary of the destruction of Solomon's Temple," claiming it was a place reserved for Jews alone.

The next day, August 15, 1929, they followed it with a massive demonstration through the streets of Jerusalem, reaching the Buraq Wall. There, they chanted, "The Wall is ours," and sang the "Zionist national anthem," while simultaneously insulting Muslims.

The British police had been informed of the demonstration in advance and sent large forces to escort the Jewish demonstrators.

On the third day, Friday, August 16, the anniversary of the Prophet Muhammad's birthday, Muslims rallied to defend the Buraq Wall, which the Jews intended to seize. Violent clashes erupted between the two sides, sweeping across much of Palestine .

The revolt saw clashes between Palestinians on one side and Jews and Mandate forces on the other in Hebron, Safed, Jerusalem, Jaffa, and other Palestinian cities, lasting for days.

The Palestine Bulletin at the time shows that the only violence in the first days were by the Arabs against a single Jew - a shammash, or beadle - who didn't flee the Kotel on that Friday:

Many have previously noted the parallels between the 1929 atrocities and October 7. Women raped, their breasts cut off, children murdered, men castrated, unarmed Jews burned alive by a bloodthirsty Arab crowd in an orgy of antisemitic violence.

But it is not only Jews who draw the parallel - Arabs do as well. The Arabic Post wrote about 1929 also in glowing terms, exactly thirty days after October 7, to cement the idea that they were both glorious rebellions against the Jews.

Since October 7, the Al-Aqsa Intifada, Gaza City has been witnessing a war that has resulted in the deaths of more than 10,000 people and the injury of more than 30,000 in just one month. Some have described the war as a genocide of the city's population by the Israeli occupation army.

However, this uprising was not the first in the history of occupied Palestine. The year 1929 witnessed the first uprising against the Jews in the city of Jerusalem, which is also called the Three Martyrs' Uprising or the Buraq Revolution .

The Buraq Revolution was the first Palestinian uprising against the attempt to Judaize Jerusalem during the British Mandate.

In both cases, the Palestinians consider the attackers, rapists and child murderers to be heroes.

Let's give them a state!
