Excerpt of a Letter to the New York Times, December 4, 1948, from Albert Einstein and other prominent Jews.
"Attack on Arab Village
A shocking example was their behavior in the Arab village of Deir Yassin. This village, off the main roads and surrounded by Jewish lands, had taken no part in the war, and had even fought off Arab bands who wanted to use the village as their base. On April 9 (THE NEW YORK TIMES), terrorist bands attacked this peaceful village, which was not a military objective in the fighting, killed most of its inhabitants " 240 men, women, and children " and kept a few of them alive to parade as captives through the streets of Jerusalem. Most of the Jewish community was horrified at the deed, and the Jewish Agency sent a telegram of apology to King Abdullah of Trans-Jordan. But the terrorists, far from being ashamed of their act, were proud of this massacre, publicized it widely, and invited all the foreign correspondents present in the country to view the heaped corpses and the general havoc at Deir Yassin."
What drove these particular Jews to commit the above atrocious insane massacre of fellow human beings including children Einstein described? Perhaps the centuries of Jewish persecution in Europe and a perception of Arabs deserving punishment for attacks on Jews during conflicts in British Palestine.
Similarly, in 2023, what drove members of the Palestinian Hamas to commit horrific massacres of fellow human beings. Well, for eight decades the army, navy and especially the warplanes of violence prone Revisionist Zionist Israeli governments have over the years (at times with religious backing from Rabbis) openly massacred thousands of Palestinian civilians and their children, who for many years have been held captive in their own land as an open air prison. All justified by an Israel constantly having to defend itself from Palestinian Arabs seeking justice, and who have never reconciled themselves to their loss nor given up getting their lands and homes back.
An explanation for the criminal insanity in the case of both Jewish and Palestinian massacres can be found in the archives of history.
Palestinians were forced off their lands or fled en masse from deadly Jewish attacks during the civil war ignited intentionally by the announcement of a never meant to be implemented Partition Plan forced through a yet tiny United Nations by the United States that would eventually result in a Jewish population of 630,000 militarily occupying 77% of what had been British misgoverned Palestine, containing an Arab population of 1,970,000. This injustice of making refugees of so many Arab Palestinians whose homes and orchards were seized by Jews, is the basis for 75 years of massive bloodshed.
