VERY RARE PAMPHLETS AND MAP RELATING TO THE RESTRICTIONS ON JEWS PURCHASING LAND IN PALESTINE. As a consequence of the Arab Rebellion of 1936-1939, the Mandatory authority clamped down on ever-increasing Jewish immigration into Palestine, and simultaneously restricted land transfers. The British drew up three zones: Zone A, comprising most of the hinterland of Palestine, where Jews were prohibited from purchasing land; Zone B, composed of two coastal strips and a tract of land adjacent to Lake Tiberias, where Jews were highly restricted on acquiring land; and a free zone along most of the coast, where land purchases could be freely transacted. These restrictions, viewed by the Jewish population as a sign of weakness by the British in the face of Arab terrorism, and coming at a time when German Nazi persecution was reaching its peak, fuelled Jewish resentment against the British authorities. Rare: only the first-named paper is listed by Khalidi & Khadduri (1653).
