But somehow the Muslim animals ended up killing any Jew they could find and destroyed an ancient Jewish community. Do you even bother reading what you post? And How is it that the Muslim animals who never controlled the land get to decide who does or doesn't get to migrate to an ancient Jewish city? Apparently the animals had no problem letting their brethern from Arab lands invade the holy land. But Jews, not allowed.
The Hebron Massacre of 1929
(August 23, 1929)
For many years, the small Jewish community in the ancient city of
Hebron lived in peace with their tens of thousands of Arab neighbors. But, on the night of August 23, 1929, the tension simmering within this cauldron of nationalities bubbled over and for a period of three days,
Hebron turned into a city of terror and murder as the Arab residents led a rampaging massacre against the bewildered and helpless Jewish community.

By the time the massacre ended, 67 Jews lay dead - their homes and synagogues destroyed - and the few hundred survivors were relocated to
Jerusalem. The aftermath left
Hebron barren of Jews for the first time in hundreds of years.
The summer of 1929 was one of unrest in
Palestine as Jewish
immigrants were arriving in increasing numbers and the agitations of the
mufti in
Jerusalem spurred on Jewish-Arab tensions. Just one day prior to the start of the Hebron massacre, three Jews and three Arabs were killed in
Jerusalem when fighting broke out after a Muslim prayer service on the
Temple Mount. Arabs spread false rumors and libels throughout their communities, saying that Jews were carrying out "wholesale killings of Arabs."
Hebron had up until this time been outwardly peaceful, although tensions hid below the surface. The
Sephardi Jewish community (Jews who were originally from Spain, North Africa and Arab countries) in Hebron had lived quietly with its Arab neighbors for centuries. Theses Sephardi Jews spoke Arabic and had a cultural connection with the the Arabs of Hebron. In the mid-1800s,
Ashkenazi (native European) Jews started moving to
Hebron and, in 1925, the Slobodka Yeshiva - officially called the Yeshiva of Hevron Knesset Yisrael-Slobodka - was opened.
