Episode 2 (1920-1929)

The British Mandate helps the Jews change the economic and geographic reality in Palestine as well as begin to challenge the demographic balance. The Palestinians respond with an outbreak of violent protest which escalates from round to round. The escalation awakens religious sentiment among both sides and the holy sites become the center of contention, until events surrounding the Western Wall Plaza escalate into the brutal riots of 1929 in Jerusalem and Hebron.
