\\\'\\\'This bitterness was compounded by an incoherent and incompetent British response to the riots which was aimed more at appeasing the rioting Palestinians rather than protecting the Jews, which verged into InsaneTrollLogic territory once they obeyed the Palestinian Authority\\\'s demands to disarm the Jews who had dared fight back. Insult was added to injury shortly afterwards when a British court blamed the Zionists for the riot by \\\"inflaming local tensions\\\". This apparent government collusion with local antisemites seemed all too similar to the Pogroms for many Jews there, and it was from this event that the first seeds of conflict between the Jews, the Palestinians, and the British emerged.\\\'\\\'
\\\'\\\'Thus Britain started clamping down on Jewish immigration to the area, as well as pandering to the Palestinian nationalists, including the stunningly stupid move of pardoning, and promoting to the post of Grand Mufti Mohammad Amin al-Husayni, with the vague aim of controlling the nationalist movement, which only further inflamed Jewish discontent and anger with the British administration. This blew up utterly in the faces of the British administration, as he not only continued his antisemitic warmongering, but redoubled them in ways disturbingly similar to what would happen in Germany a year later as antisemitic pamphlets and propaganda spread through the nationalist movement, which became ever more extreme in rejecting British attempts to mediate the situation, and they caused even more violent riots in 1929, again with only token British response.\\\'\\\'
