The 1932 plan was a response to the 1929 Palestine riots , and aimed to establish small agricultural settlements around the larger Jewish towns and moshavot and help defend them against Arab rioters . The first takers of the deal generally received a modest home and around 15 dunams of land . Although only 437 families were settled in the end , it resulted in the creation of several moshavim , including Avihayil , Beit Oved , Gibton , Givat Hen , Kfar Bilu , Kfar Hess and Neta'im .
