Relations between Jews and Arabs at the refinery were known to be good. However, tensions rose in 1947-48 in the wake of the 1947 UN Partition Plan.[3] On 30 December 1947, Irgun militants hurled two bombs into a crowd of Arab workers from a passing vehicle. The Etzel (Irgun) who planned the attack on the day laborers said it was in retaliation for recent attacks elsewhere on Jews in Palestine.[1] After 6 workers were killed and 42 wounded,[1] Arab workers stormed the refinery armed with tools and metal rods, beating 39 Jewish workers to death and wounding 49. The Arab constabulary was accused of complicity, although some sources say Arab police helped to escort 30-40 Jews out of the building at the height of the violence.[citation needed] British forces arrived only an hour after the riot started.[3] According to the Jewish Agency, some Arab workers helped their Jewish co-workers hide or escape.
The Haganah mounted a retaliatory raid on the villages of Balad al-Shaykh and Hawsha, where some of the Arab refinery workers lived. They fired into and blew up houses, and pulled out adult males and shot them. Some women and children were killed when, according to Haganah accounts, Arabs returned fire from the houses. Haganah estimates of the number of Arabs killed varied from 21 to 70. Two Haganah soldiers were also killed.[4]

Pretty cool ... when you can learn how to look at both sides of an issue... sadly too many in the West don't know how to think outside their media imposed bubbles

I think we need a lot more threads and education on the role Jewish terrorism played before and shortly after the formation of the Israeli State in 1948.

Of course, now that Israel is more civilized and has a large standing army and air force, Israel can let the IDF assume the role of its former terrorists.

Meanwhile, for those who can't afford a large standing army, Navy, and air force must rely on terrorism as the politics of the powerless.
