Excessive Force?
(Myths and Facts) Eli E. Hertz - Rather than condemn Palestinian Arab terrorist tactics, the U.S. State Department condemned Israel's "excessive use of force" when it retaliates against the terror attacks. How did the British deal with Palestinian Arab violence under the British Mandate during the Arab Revolt of 1936 to 1939? According to Oxford historian Glen Rangwala, the British killed 5,032 Palestinians, wounded 14,760, detained 50,000, hanged 146, sentenced 2,000 to life prison terms, and demolished 5,000 houses in reprisals.
