Admission of Involvement by Former Israeli Soldiers in Killings of Palestinian Civilians during 1948 Conflict
Informal Take:
Let's dive into some raw truth from the past. Remember when we were tribal, picking sides, and fighting the 1948 Palestine war? Well, many Israeli army vets are finally spilling the beans about their involvement in some uglies against Palestinian civilians. It's the Yazkern gang, a truth-seeking org created in 2001, that's raising the curtain on Israel’s shady past. They're rooting for a one-state solution and believe Palestinians should get their homeland back, pronto.
Take Amnon Neumann, an 82-year-old Israeli army vet from Haifa, who was a Palmach member in the late 1940s. He admits that there were no real battles 'cause of Palestinian disadvantages, like poverty, lack of training, and arms. The official Israeli story claims those civilian casualties were just part of the war. But Neumann exposes that he helped dishonorably evict Palestinians from Simism, Najd, Kawkaba, Burayr, and other places, shattering Zionist claims. He even confessed to his part in the brutal Burayr massacre, where they mercilessly kicked out locals with Czech weapons.
Another vet, Arhamel Khnovitc, a 83-year-old Daghania settler, 'fessed up to participating in the Dahmash Mosque massacre in Al-Lydd in July '48 and forced ethnic cleansing in Jamzu and Dan'el. Khnovitc shared some gruesome details too, like firing a missile that stuck corpses to the walls from the severity of the blast.
Benyamin Eisht, 85, who resides in Bilhaym, recalled seeing Palestinian survivors of Al-Lydd and Ramla after the massacre, walking in lines toward Ramallah with bodies scattered on the roadside. Old-timer Yitzhak Tishler, 83, from Mafsirt Tsyon, confirmed accounts of looting houses and stores in the village of Al-Sheikh near Haifa and participating in the murder of numerous Palestinians in revenge for Jewish workers.
Historically, the 1948 Palestine war resulted in severe casualties, displacement of Palestinians, and various massacres that are still debated today. The Deir Yassin massacre on April 9, 1948, is infamous for its brutality. As we dig deeper, we discover historians like Benny Morris and Ilan Pappé exposing Zionist forces' dark involvement in the conflict.
All these revelations shed light on the broader context of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the abuses perpetrated towards Palestinians over the years. Although recent admissions from Israeli vets post-1948 are scarce, there are ongoing discussions and disputes about civil rights violations and modern allegations of mistreatment towards Palestinians. Amnesty International, among others, has brought up concerns about Israel's actions that could breach international law and the Genocide Convention.
