1. Some of the Arab atrocities at that time:
boaz ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (04.21.07)
These are not the best translations but you get the idea what Wingate and the Special Night Squads were facing. Bloody night at Safed and Tzofit - 14.8.1936 http://www.zionismontheweb.org/boards/viewtopic.php?t=467 The Tiberias massacre, 2nd October 1938 http://www.zionismontheweb.org/boards/viewtopic.php?t=458 Bomb attack on the Yemenite Talmud Tora - 27th of July 1936 http://www.zionismontheweb.org/boards/viewtopic.php?t=433 The murder of peace activist Dr. Levi Bilig - 21.8.1936 http://www.zionismontheweb.org/boards/viewtopic.php?t=417
2.  The Funeral Photo
Aaron Eitan Meyer ,   Huntington, NY USA   (04.25.07)
The photo of Wingate, Sharett et al looks like other photos taken at the funeral of Chaim Sturmann, whose death at the hands of Arab terrorists so incensed Wingate that he eulogized Sturmann as 'a friend of the Arabs, who was killed by the Arabs.' It appears to have been taken at virtually the same time as the photo of the event in Sykes' Official Biography of Wingate.
