Boruch Kaplan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Boruch Kaplan (also spelled Borach Kaplan) was a survivor of the 1929 Hebron massacre who notably blamed Zionists for inciting the violence. At the time of the massacre he was a young student in the Hebron yeshiva. Rabbi Kaplan accused the Zionists of provoking the Arabs saying that the massacre didn't occur simply because the Arabs were "bad people" or "terrible killers who liked attacking Jews".[1].
Rabbi Kaplan later emigrated to the United States where he founded the main Beis Yaakov girls' school of Boro Park, New York.
