    Someone can correct me on this but I believe at the point in time there was no Jewish violence or mass migration so these protests were purely motivated by xenophobia.

      This was 3 years after the Balfour Declaration. By 1920 figures like Ben-Gurion had already settled in Palestine. And the paramilitary predecessor to the IDF was in operation.

      Zionist terror, violence, and colonialism was well under way by 1920.

      There has been Zionist on semite violence in the region since the early 1900s. These protests were against the planned/proposed settling of the region after Zionist terror organizations had been attacking the local Jewish and Muslim populations.

    Nice find!

    A pre-emptive warning to anyone who feels the urge to bring modern politics into this comment thread - modern politics aren’t against the rules, but genocide and atrocity denial are. :)
