Jerusalem 1929: The Western Wall Riots That Redrew Conflict Lines
In August 1929, a dispute over a small screen at the Western Wall spiraled into a week of violence that killed over 130 Jews and 110 Arabs, and shook the foundations of British Mandate Palestine. This episode follows the chain reaction: from Revisionist Zionist marches and the Muslim Supreme Council's construction projects near the Wall, to the British commission that tried to codify rights at the holiest site in Judaism. We look at Mufti Amin al-Husseini's role, the Jewish Agency's response, the Shaw Commission's report, and how the riots hardened communal boundaries. The 1929 unrest didn't start the conflict, but it changed the rules — ending mixed neighborhoods, accelerating separate economies, and making the Wall a flashpoint that would never quite cool. We also touch on the lesser-known Hebron massacre and the evacuation of the ancient Jewish community there. A pivotal moment in the city's modern history, often overshadowed by 1948.
