(1) The Jewish communities of Hebron and Gaza [which were non-Zionist!] were completely destroyed in the 1929 Pogroms. (2) The 'status quo' violations amounted to wanting to put up a bench for old people and a temporary divider between men and women during prayers (3) Amin whipped up the revolt. That's not in dispute. (4) Amin was spending thugs for months to go beat up Jews at the wall before the 'Buraq revolt,' and British authorities mostly ignored it as some petty local squabble. (5) Amin was provoking conflict because he going to lose his job to the Nashashibis as he was getting increasingly unpopular. Whipping up popular fears and anger was a good way to bolster his position. And it worked. (6) Sure, Husayni doesn't care what I think of him. Why would a guy who gloated in his memoirs about how many Jews died in the Holocaust care what I think? https://bird.makeup/@nadahu25/1903487567258931303
