Explain the key features of Jewish immigration to Palestine One key feature of Jewish immigration to Palestine was its cause. Jews were promised a homeland in Palestine by the British in the Balfour Letter of 1917. This promise was made in response to Zionist claims that Jews should be allowed to settle in Palestine. The British made this promise because, at the time, they were anxious for USA to join the allies against Germany in the First World War and hoped that powerful Jews in USA would use their political influence to persuade the American government to join the war. A second key feature of Jewish immigration to Palestine was its effect. From 1919, with Palestine as a British mandate, Jewish immigration increased substantially to 75,000. This caused conflict between Jewish immigrants and the native Arab population, for example there were riots in Jaffa in 1921 resulting in the deaths of 30 Jews and 116 Arabs. The hostilities between the two groups intensified after 1933 when the Nazis came to power and began persecution of Jews in Germany and occupied territories. By 1939 there were 450,000 Jews in Palestine. The British struggled to maintain order between the two communities who were competing over resources and land ownership so eventually introduced the 1939 White Paper to limit Jewish immigration to just 10,000 per year. The link is that British promises encouraged Zionist ambition which, accelerated by the anti-Semitism of the Nazis, resulted in a destabilizing amount of Jews arriving in Palestine in a short space of time which created open hostility between Jews and Palestinians.
