Translation of Italian article (crude translation thanks to Google Translate): http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=ht...

(Notice the statement in the article: "It could be like in Jenin in 2002. Initially we spoke of 1,500 deaths. Then it came out they were only 54, including at least 45 guerrillas who died fighting.")

BBC article on "Jenin Massacre": http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2165272.stm

(Though this article reveals that there was no massacre, it's certainly not kind to Israel, so don't accuse me of finding biased articles. Notice that the article states "The UN Secretary General, Kofi Annan, said the report's aim of finding out exactly what happened in Jenin had been blocked by Israel's decision to refuse access to UN investigators." The article makes no mention of the fact that Israel actually demanded inclusion of military experts in the fact-finding mission before investigators would be let in.)

Documentary on Deir Yassin Massacre (relevant part begins at 6:50): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNglLy05GWM&NR=1

Testimony from Ayish Zeidan (Anton LaGuardia, "War Without End: Israelis, Palestinians, and the Struggle for a Promised Land", St. Martin's Griffin; 23 May 2003, page 195): "There had been no rape. The Arab radio at the time talked of women being killed and raped, but this is not true. I believe that most of those who were killed were among the fighters and the women and children who helped the fighters."

Tesimony from Mohammed Radwan (Middle East Times, 20-April-1998, interview by Paul Homes): "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... . They ended up expelling people from all of Palestine on the rumor of Deir Yassin."

(Holmes states in the third paragraph the following: "According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, whose figures have not been seriously challenged, around 1,300 Palestinians were killed, and more than 5,300 were injured.")

Excellent presentation!

Palestinian Arabs have always had a tendency to exagerate. In arabic they say in this case that they "cut their hand to be able to beg on it".

By the way, are you related to Anton La Guardia? You look a bit like him. I have just finished reading his book "war without end" and I think it's brilliant.

[mbrown0315]

No relation to Anton La Guardia here.

Thanks for the compliment.

@mbrown0315 how do you an isreali supporter expalin ariel sharons comments to oz amos for les voix d'isreal in 1983 saying its a jews right to rape palestinian women as they are the jews' slaves, that he vows to burn every palestinian child born in the area and that he was a citizen of isreal instead of its "leader" if he saw a palestinian on the street he would burn them. Now if these are the views of the then leader of the country what are the views of the soilders or the radical zionists

[naturaljunkie]

.

Why UN have supported this unfair agreement? USSR / USA / UK would certanly get  some profit. And they sure did. If the rich/larger part of the "promised land" was given to arabs, they would had trade with another arabs. But have a quick look to the WWII aftermatch, and you'll see the main commercial partners of Israel.

Don't let you be fooled. Is there a chance (and i believe so) that all these conflicts had a commercial intent, covered with peoples beliefs and suffering to hide it. Peace

[naturaljunkie]

.

- The land offered to Israel was composed by about 47% of arabs, while the land offered to the arabs was composed by 1,2% of jews.

- What the possibilities of the arabs in region accept these unfair terms? None. So, the 1948 Arab–Israeli War begins...

- Thousands of arabs flee from jew side, and Israel begin to run the PLAN DALET, passing from defensive to offensive instance. The goal was occupy and garrison/expel and destroy the Arab villages along and behind the front lines.

[naturaljunkie]

I started to watch your vids, but found them too superficial and not watched it full lenght. There is no point in showing media reality distortions, cos they do it in both sides. The question is more deep and ancient, but let's, at this moment, talk about the facts After WWII:

-Besides composing the ethnical minority in the region (in the proportion of 1 jew for 3 arabs), to Israel was given a larger territory (56% - to the arabs, 42% of the land, and UN would control Jerusalem area - 2%)...

[KDidesxo]

Listen, I don't disagree with people exaggerating the suffering of Arabs in rare cases. But the facts speak for themselves no matter how you try to alter them. The fact that you make excuses for such vile acts committed by these "Jews" makes me want to vomit. It is the equivalent of a white supremest trying to legitimize the horror of the Holocaust. And it's funny how Israel acts like Nazi Germany. :(

Both sides are guilty of violence, some (Israel) more than others.

[yahyaazak]

so, all these arabs are fakin it? so yah. they would just kill thier own people. makes since.

what an idiot

[sabtubet]

A palestinian can not even live in the luxury that you are living in. Jews are afraid to get shot sitting in a restaurant or a park. I dont think the arabs/christians even get that luxury. THere is only desert for them. n

[omsaj891]

580 Israelis killed by Palestinians including security forces "including 39 minors"

its unfortunate for both sides even though there were more Palestinians killed that doesnt mean that their right

both sides are wrong the fighting must stop from both side and the borders should be set back to the UN borders of 1967

[omsaj891]

true there is fabrication from both sides and probably more from the Palestinian side

but people dont depend on Palestinian news!! there are independent and western reporters who personally go there and confirm the persecution of the Palestinians even israelis have casualties and it is unfortunate but the civilian Palestinian casualties are much more!! 4791 including militia and 952 of them were kids! killed by israelis

[abdishtar]

At first i thought you were another BS poster, but you make sense and are completely right. The problem is that people will more likely fall to a big lie than a small one.

While i do believe that Israel is doing alot wrong with regard to its occupation of the west bank and the building of settlements, I do think that you are absolutely right, they are inflating it. But its the same sorts of people that deny that the holocaust happens, so it suprises me that people give Hamaz credibility.
