The second failure occurred during the Arab Revolt against British rule in Palestine in 1936-1939, which was accompanied by massive terror attacks against Jewish civilians. The revolt itself was brutally suppressed by the British army, but not before a split within the Palestinian community resulted in two armed militias – one based on the Husseini clan, the other on the more moderate Nashashibis – that turned viciously on each other.
第二次失败发生在1936-1939年阿拉伯人为抗议英国人在巴勒斯坦的统治而发动的起义期间，这次起义伴随了对犹太公民大规模的恐怖袭击。起义本身被英国军队残忍地镇压了。但是在起义失败之前巴勒斯坦族就分裂成了两支民兵武装——一支以Husseini氏族为基础，另一支以相对温和的 Nashashibis氏族为基础，他们之间爆发了激烈的对抗。被参与对抗的民兵杀害的巴勒斯坦人要远比被英国军队或者犹太人自卫队杀死的巴勒斯坦人多得多。
