    Someone can correct me on this but I believe at the point in time there was no Jewish violence or mass migration so these protests were purely motivated by xenophobia.

      This was 3 years after the Balfour Declaration. By 1920 figures like Ben-Gurion had already settled in Palestine. And the paramilitary predecessor to the IDF was in operation.

      Zionist terror, violence, and colonialism was well under way by 1920.

        Its true that Ben Gurion was in palestine at this time but its not true that any Zionist military groups were operating at this time. Its not true that violence and colonialism were underway. Migration to a country and living there is not colonialism. You are welcome to provide sources that disprove this but from what I could find there was nothing that would justify barring Jewish migration at this time.

      There has been Zionist on semite violence in the region since the early 1900s. These protests were against the planned/proposed settling of the region after Zionist terror organizations had been attacking the local Jewish and Muslim populations.
