Dr. Beatle, the principal medical officer in Jaffa, “But we have no doubt that the Arabs of Jaffa were the first to turn this quarrel into a race conflict, and, once this issue was joined, they behaved with a savagery which cannot be condoned”

“I was struck most with the number of wounds on each body, and the ferocity of the wounds. I am speaking particularly of broken skulls. Some of the victims had dozens of wounds.”
