Disagreements over Jewish immigration as well as incitement by Haj Amin Al-Husseini led to an outbreak of Arab-Jewish violence in the Palestine Riots of 1920 . Violence erupted again the following year during the Jaffa Riots . In response to these riots , Britain established the Haycraft Commission of Inquiry . The British Mandatory authorities put forward proposals for setting up an elected legislative council in Palestine . In 1924 the issue was raised at a conference held by Ahdut Ha'avodah at Ein Harod . Shlomo Kaplansky , a veteran leader of Poalei Zion , argued that a Parliament , even with an Arab majority , was the way forward . David Ben-Gurion , the emerging leader of the Yishuv , succeeded in getting Kaplansky 's ideas rejected . Violence erupted again in the form of the 1929 Palestine riots , the 1929 Hebron massacre , and the 1929 Safed massacre . After the violence , the British led another commission of inquiry under Sir Walter Shaw . The report of the Shaw Commission , known as the Shaw Report or Command Paper No 3530 , attributed the violence to " the twofold fear of the Arabs that , by Jewish immigration and land purchase , they might be deprived of their livelihood and , in time , pass under the political domination of the Jews "
