The sentiments of Jews who fled the 1929 Hebron massacre and their descendants are mixed . Some advocate the continued settlement of Hebron as a way to continue the Jewish heritage in the city , while others suggest that settlers should try to live in peace with the Arabs there , with some even recommending the complete pullout of all settlers in Hebron . Descendants supporting the latter views have met with Palestinian leaders in Hebron . The two most public examples of the descendants ' views are the 1997 statement made by an association of some descendants dissociating themselves from the then-current Jewish settlers in Hebron and calling them an obstacle to peace , and the May 15 , 2006 letter sent to the Israeli government by other descendants urging the government to continue its support of Jewish settlement in Hebron in their names , and urged it to allow the return of eight Jewish families evacuated the previous January from the homes they set up in empty shops near the Avraham Avinu neighborhood . Beit HaShalom , was established in 2007 . One of the purchasers is a descendant of Jews who fled Hebron during Arab massacres
