Tell us as sensitively as you can why these riots were so vicious, so consequential in terms of their long-lasting impact, and what triggered them? What set them off?

People started to compare October seventh to the massacre of nineteen twenty-nine.

And in my book, you can see there are vast parallels between October seventh and the massacre of nineteen twenty-nine.

But in many ways, the massacre of nineteen twenty-nine was even more vicious and more gruesome because the people who were killed on August twenty-fourth, nineteen twenty-nine in Hebron weren't slain with guns.

They were slaughtered with knives and daggers, machetes, and axes.

And much like October seventh, entire families were butchered.

Children watched as their parents were slaughtered by their neighbors.

What information did they receive that was offensive to them?
