60 years ago today ,the Massacre of Deir Yassin took place....


In the early morning of April 9, 1948, the peaceful village of Deir Yassin was attacked and its inhabitants massacred by the Terrorist Zionist Irgun and Stern Gangs led by Manachem Begin and Benzion Cohen, respectively.


The Irgun and Stern gangs butchered everyone in their way, men, woman (and some were pregnant), and children, to empty the entire village. The massacre was designed to terrify Arabs beyond the village of Deir Yassin so that they would run away and thus be driven out of their homes. This explains why the Zionist/Jewish death squads did not bury the men, woman and children they killed.


They left the dead bodies to be seen and frighten other Palestinian Arabs. Those who were still alive were taken by the Zionist Terrorist gangs and loaded into trucks with their hands tied and eyes blindfolded.


They were paraded through the streets of Jerusalem, while other Zionist/Jews applauded and celebrated the dehumanization of Palestinian Arabs.
