April 19 1936 Arab Murder, Mayhem, and Massacre The Arab High Committee “We call upon you O Arab, to sacrifice yourself, to cease you work and commerce, to make do with merely a piece of bread. . . in order to safe guard you homeland so that Arab Palestine will not be lost and that you will not be banished from it as a refuge in the midst of destruction and disgrace.” As a result, on April 19^th, Arab mobs in Jaffa killed nine Jews and injured fifty-seven others.
