Mordechai Schwarcz lang he was a 23 year old police officer in British Palestine . He was convicted of the murder of a fellow Arab police officer, with whom he shared a tent, and was executed. The background to the incident was the 1936 1939 Arab revolt in Palestine and the debate in the Yishuv regarding the proper reaction and in particular the policy of Havlagah , or restraint taken by the Haganah .
