Isn the massacre account of Deir Yassin more believable given the terrorism that the Jewish thugs normally employed?
• …I love it when PLO supporters complain about terrorism. As for Irgun and Lehi terror, it is a well known fact that all means were taken to avoid targetting civilians. Lehi and Irgun targetted British military officials most of the time. Even the bombing of the King David Hotel was preceded by a warning by the Irgun calling for evacuation. Read up on Deir Yassin – it isn’t as clear cut of a case of massacre as you think – there are several good accounts which contradict your version of the story. Once again, have you ever heard of Gush Etzion? Sorry, the arguments go both ways here. Certainly there have been instances where Israel may have attacked civilians. Even if I grant you Deir Yassin (which I don’t) there has never been any Israeli policy to attack civilians even comparable to the Palestinians’ war of terror against Israeli civilians. Nothing even comes close to PLO terror which (along with the sentiments of Arab states to drive the Jews into the sea) is an organized campaig
