ABSTRACT
Despite the hopes which he placed in the British, Jabotinsky had suffered disappointments from the beginning of their rule. These intensifed with the 'Wailing Wall' incident on the Day of Atonement (24 September) 1928, when the governor of Jerusalem, Keith-Roach, ordered the removal of the barrier separating men and women worshippers. Together with the subsequent riots of 1929, that event generated a traumatic change, not for Jabotinsky himself, but for the newly affiliated members of his Revisionist movement.
