Question

why did many palestinian arabs oppose increased jewish immigration during the british mandate?
○ they wanted to leave the region of palestine themselves.
○ they feared they would lose land, jobs, and political control.
○ they hoped jewish people would help them gain independence.
○ they disliked that the british were allowing any immigration.

Explanation:

During the British Mandate for Palestine, large-scale Jewish immigration led to competition for scarce land and employment opportunities for Palestinian Arabs. Additionally, they feared that growing Jewish population would erode their political power and influence in the region, threatening their ability to self-govern. The other options are incorrect: Palestinian Arabs did not want to leave the region, they did not see Jewish immigration as a path to independence, and their opposition was specifically targeted at Jewish immigration, not all immigration.

Answer:

They feared they would lose land, jobs, and political control.
