How many were killed? Doesn the Arab propagandist, Edward Said, claim that 250 people were killed in Deir Yassin?
* “Paradoxically, the Jews say about 250 out of 400 village inhabitants [were killed], while Arab survivors say only 110 of 1,000.” – Dan Kurzman, in Genesis 1948, (OH: New American Library, Inc., 1970) * “…representatives of each of the five clans in Deir Yassin met in Jerusalem in the Moslem offices near the Al Aqsa mosque and made a list of the people who had not been found. We went through the names. It came to 116. Nothing has happened since 1948 to make me think this figure was wrong.” – Muhammad Arif Sammour, quoted in Begin: The Haunted Prophet, by Eric Silver * “I know when I speak that God is up there and God knows the truth and God will not forgive the liars,” said Radwan, who puts the number of villagers killed at 93, listed in his own handwriting. “There were no rapes. It’s all lies. There were no pregnant women who were slit open. It was propaganda that… Arabs put out so Arab armies would invade,” he said.
