General strike -
The extent to which the riot in Jaffa was prepared in every detail was evidenced by the Arab leaders' decision -- which was taken at noon that day -- to declare a general strike "until peace is restored." A protest meeting was held in Nablus, which that day took the central place at the forefront of the Palestinian struggle... In Nablus, every Jewish vehicle that crossed the city was also immediately stoned. A protest meeting was also held in Tulkarm.
The Germans are celebrating
While the curfew went into effect in the two twin cities, the sounds of cheering and joy were heard in the German settlement of Sharona and in the German Valhalla neighborhood in Jaffa. The Germans celebrated the eve of Adolf Hitler's birthday. Arab friends were also present in the houses of the community leaders.

In the pages before us are described the birth axes of the Palestinian resistance from the fall of 1935 to April 1936, and its consolidation with the underground arrival in the Land of Israel of Fawzi Bey Kaukji, who took over the supreme command of the Palestinian uprising that lasted for three years...

"The Black Hand"
The underground under his leadership called itself the "Black Hand" and was composed of members of the urban Muslim youth organization and sectarians, also Muslims. Their external distinguishing mark was the beard in the style of Sheikh [Izz ad-Din] al-Qassam's beard. In preparation for its operation, the underground collected funds from fans and the coffers of the Supreme Muslim Council were also open to it. Applied in the accumulation of weapons, explosives for the bomb industry and other equipment. Caves in the mountains became warehouses and bases of the "Black Hand".
An important part of her operation was following the Jews who were intended to be her victims and the Arab policemen and detectives who were following what was happening in the Arab public. The main victims were intended to be, first and foremost, the "Zionists", that is, Jews who immigrated from abroad to settle in the Land of Israel, mainly the people of the working settlement:
In April 1931, three members of Kibbutz Yagur were murdered;
In January 1932, a member of the Belfuria seat was killed;
In December of that year, a bomb was thrown into the home of a Nahalel resident who was killed along with his little son.
Only in the last case did the police succeed - with the help of the "Hagana" - in discovering the murderers, two of whom were sentenced to death. During the investigation of the defendants, it became known about the "Black Hand" and Sheikh al-Qassam's name has since been associated with its actions. However, the authorities refrained from arresting and interrogating the belonging to prevent an uproar in the Arab public.
The influence of Nazism
An important milestone in the development of the underground Palestinian resistance was the rise of the Nazis to power in Germany in 1933 and the birth of Hitler's Third Reich. Branches of the Nazi Party were established wherever there were Germans even outside the borders of the homeland. Four German colonies were found in the Land of Israel (Sharona, Wilhelma, Waldheim and Bethlehem of Galilee) and three German urban neighborhoods (in Jerusalem, Jaffa and Haifa). German Jews began packing their bags and looking for destinations for immigration, and the Jewish National Home in Israel naturally became a very important immigration center. The increase stream increased from month to month. The settling Jewish institutions bought land with a lot of money, and Arab landowners began to get rich by selling land to Jews, while the nationalists of their people made the immigration and the purchase of the land the main issues in their struggle. From Haj Amin Al Husseini's office in Jerusalem came an order to incite the masses in mass meetings, while preaching in mosques, about the "Zionist danger"...
In October 1933 mass demonstrations were held in Jerusalem...

The next day, Monday, I left for Tel Aviv. Even the sky wept for the lives of the innocent people and rain fell on the city during the funeral. Crowds filled Maze Street where the morgue is located, the nearby Yavne Street and the great Allenby Street. The roofs and balconies of the houses along the route of the mourning journey were blackened by the crowd. The dead were carried on wooden stretchers. The cries of the widows and orphans brought tears to the eyes of the thousands who followed the journey which He made his way to the Tel Aviv City Hall building on Bialik Street. From the balcony of this building, under the national flag draped in black, eulogies were delivered by Mayor and builder of Tel Aviv Meir Dizengoff - the old man, Chairman of the Board of the Jewish Agency David Ben-Gurion and Chairman of the Board of the National Committee Yitzhak Ben-Tzvi. .
At the moments when Ben-Gurion said in his thundering voice that "the murderers will not be able to terrorize the Jewish population in the Land of Israel and the Jews abroad," the attendants did not know that murder and destruction were once again rampant in Jaffa. .
That day, the second day of the storm, 5 more Jews were murdered in Jaffa and 29 were injured. But the curfew was lifted in the morning and the crowds in Jaffa began to gather again in the streets and squares, again the instigators from Jerusalem appeared among them, rejoicing over the balance of blood and destruction of the previous day. This time the murders were concentrated in the border neighborhoods that had not been completely evacuated of Jews: Manashia and Abu Kabir.
Today there is no trace of Mansheya; The "City" of Tel-Aviv is now being built in the place where the Forei neighborhood stood; In the place of Abu Kabir, Tel Aviv's Kiryat-Malacha factories are located...

In 1920, Haj Amin al-Husseini took the crowds to the streets of Jerusalem to kill the Jews in the style of the pogroms in Tsarist Russia; In 1921, disturbances were no longer limited to one center, while in 1929, preparations were seen on a nationwide scale. In contrast to the "partisan" nature of these riots, the murders and injuries that began in April 1936 were depicted as the beginning of a long process that was to encompass a number of stages, the main ones of which were: the storm, the surprise, the riot movement strike, the terror, the armed uprising.
Instead of one-off outbreaks, in 1936 the Jews of Israel and the Mandatory Governor faced a plan calculated to the last detail, cleansed of foreign aid in money and weapons and political support of powers that were in competition with Great Britain.
However, despite the element of surprise, the Arabs were not able to carry out a massacre of the Jews in 1936 in the style of Hebron (65 dead) and Safed (18 dead) as was the case in 1929, because in these seven years the power of the settlement increased from 155 thousand souls to approximately 400 thousand souls . Attacking Jewish settlements encountered difficulties this time thanks to the measures taken to prevent an outbreak into them. It was also proven in 1936 that the Jewish settlement is completely economically independent of the Arab majority. On the contrary: the confiscation of Jaffa by the Jews brought a kidney to the city's economy.
In Tel Aviv, the establishment of an independent port began, and it quickly freed itself from any dependence on its rebellious neighbor. Between the years 1929 and 1936, the Jews of the world proved that the Land of Israel stands at the center of their enemies, and if they are allowed to settle there, they are ready to abandon the diaspora and build their lives in their homeland. In 1931, 4,000 Jews immigrated, in 1932 - 10,000, in 1933 - 30,000, in 1934 - 40,000 and in 1935 - 61,000...

Porat Yehoshua, From Riots to Rebellion: The Arab-Palestinian National Movement 1929-1939. [Heb.], Tel Aviv: Am Oved Publishing, p. 95:
Large-scale riots broke out on April 19, when crowds of Arabs attacked Jews who were stranded on the streets of Jaffa. Most of the attackers were temporary workers from Hauran and Transjordan, incited by false rumors.
Except NONE of the Arabs in 1936 called themselves “Palestinians,” the non-existent ethnicity adopted (at the KGBs urging) in the early 1960s.

True the author of that book, Haviv K. was actually a Palestinian Jew.
Bkmrk
Speculation.
Haviv Kanaan, the author was there, a policeman.
It’s been known for a while that some Arabs were enthusiastic about Hitler, but your article doesn’t prove that they planned their revolt for Hitler’s birthday.
In the 1990s some people were quick to claim that the Oklahoma City bombing and the Columbine high school shootings were scheduled to happen because of Hitler’s birthday. That’s been disputed. It hasn’t been proven, but it can’t be entirely disproven. It remains speculation.
I understand, but Haviv Kanaan wrote it on the basis of signs he saw as a policeman in the area. The Arabs who attended the birthday celebration by the Templars also reinforced this in his assertion. .
