In 1929 , Shaw chaired the Commission on the Palestine Disturbances of August 1929 , commonly known as the Shaw Commission , which looked into the causes of the 1929 Palestine riots . The Shaw Commission found that the fundamental cause of the violence " without which in our opinion disturbances either would not occurred or would not have been little more than a local riot , is the Arab feeling of animosity and hostility towards the Jews consequent upon the disappointment of their political and national aspirations and fear for their economic future "
