    Lest we forget.

    Nobody was brought to book for this slaughter. There is still time enough.

    Simon Wiesenthal would be ashamed of Zionists' excuses.

    A sad chapter in a sad conflict.

    Just like Kfar Etzion and all the other horrors that accompany a war to the death.

    Just for the record and to put things in proper perspective:

    The Deir Yassin massacre took place on April 9, 1948, when around 120 fighters from the Zionist paramilitary groups Irgun and Lehi attacked Deir Yassin, a Palestinian Arab village of roughly 600 people near Jerusalem. The assault occurred as Jewish militia sought to relieve the blockade of Jerusalem during the civil war that preceded the end of British rule in Palestine.[1] According to Irgun sources, the village guards felt surprised by "the Jews" entering their village at night and opened fire on the Irgun force.[2] The village fell after fierce house-to-house fighting. During and after the battle for the village, at least 107 Palestinians were killed, including women and children—some were shot, while others died when hand grenades were thrown into their homes.[3]

    The killings were condemned by the leadership of the Haganah—the Jewish community's main paramilitary force—and by the area's two chief rabbis. The Jewish Agency for Israel sent Jordan's King Abdullah a letter of apology, which he rebuffed.[1] Abdullah held the Jewish Agency responsible for the massacre, because they were the head of Jewish affairs in Palestine.[9] He warned about "terrible consequences" if more incidents like that occurred.[10]

    Now, you tell me moon if Palestinians ever apologized for their massacres, wholesale backstabbing, rocket launching and ethnic cleansing.

    I'll wait patiently.

    Is Yassir Arafat be ashamed of Palestinian excuses, not that we would ever hear any?
