was perhaps the best known leader to have misused the revolt for his
own ends.
"Abu-Durra wanted to marry a girl from our village. Her
brother and the rest of the family were against this
marriage, Abu-Durra said that he will marry her against
the will of her family, which he did. And he also sent some
people to kill her brother. Fortunately they did not succeed
in killing him".”s
The excesses in behaviour by some of the rebels were also affected by
their leaders. For example, it was known that the rebels working with
Mohammad al-Salih (Abu-Khalid) behaved best towards the people, in
contrast to those who worked with ’Arif ’Abd al-Raziq or Abu-Durra.
Because Abu-Khalid was himself an honest man and was careful not to
allow any misbehaviour from his men. In contrast to both ’Arif and Abu-
Durra.
Assassinations, whether for political or personal reasons, were not
firmly controlled by the rebel leaders. Besides assassinations for personal
or clan revenge, many were conducted on political background, often by
orders from some political leaders of the Husseini faction. Political
assassinations were of two motives, first against those who supported the
Opposition faction, such as the killing of ’Abd al-Salam al-Barqawi from
Burqa near Nablus, as he was known to have been one of the strong
Nashashibi supporters. He was killed in a campaign against those who
had agreed to the partition plan in 1937. The others who were listed for
murder in Jenin area were Farid and Mohammad Irshid (the latter was
assassinated), and Mohammad Mas’ud Jarrar who had managed to
escape to Cyprus. ” The killing of "Abbas al-Fahum of N azareth for the
same reasons, (agreeing to partition plan) and the killing of Hasan Sidqi
al-Dajani of Jerusalem.
