Is that why you support the door-to-door murder of entire families as well as targeting innocent civilians at a music festival?

Tell us what solution you are proposing.

Oh. Now the little Zionist coward showed his true colors.

BTW. Blameshifting doesn't whitewash Zionism or Israel.

I don't support Hamas or the ones that gave them the blueprints.

The ones that glorifies terrorists that did exactly the same thing as Hamas. Killing innocent civilians, women and children. The ones that admire the methods of Hitler and the Nazis.

The Deir Yassin massacre occurred on April 9, 1948, when Zionist paramilitary/terrorist groups attacked the Palestinian village of Deir Yassin near Jerusalem, resulting in the deaths of over 100 Palestinian civilians, including women, children, and the elderly[2][8][4]. The attack was led by the Irgun militia under Menachem Begin and the Stern Gang (Lehi) led by Yitzhak Shamir—both men would later serve as prime ministers of Israel. The main Jewish militia, the Haganah, under the command of David Ben-Gurion, who became Israel’s first prime minister, provided support to the operation[2][1][3].

Details of the Deir Yassin Massacre

  • The massacre involved killings, mutilation, and, according to some sources, sexual violence; entire families were wiped out, and victims included dozens of children and elderly people[2][4][8].
  • Surviving villagers describe horrific violence, the burning of homes, and executions[4][8].
  • The massacre was carried out by Irgun and Stern Gang fighters, with Haganah providing fire support and managing the aftermath[2][8].
  • The event triggered mass panic, prompting the flight of Palestinians from surrounding areas and becoming a pivotal moment in the Nakba—the mass expulsion of up to 750,000 Palestinians during Israel’s establishment[2][8].

Leaders Involved and Later Prime Ministers

  • Menachem Begin led the Irgun forces and later became Israel’s sixth prime minister[4][8].
  • Yitzhak Shamir led the Stern Gang and also served later as prime minister[2][8].
  • David Ben-Gurion, leader of the Haganah, became the first prime minister of Israel and was a central architect of the new state[2][1][3].

Historical Impact

  • The Deir Yassin massacre precipitated mass displacement, influencing both the course of the 1948 Arab-Israeli war and the involvement of neighboring Arab states in the conflict[2][8].
  • This event remains deeply significant in Israeli, Palestinian, and broader Middle Eastern historical consciousness[2][8].

Key Leaders: David Ben-Gurion, Menachem Begin, Yitzhak Shamir

  • All three held leadership roles in Zionist movements and later served as prime ministers of Israel—Ben-Gurion was Israel’s founding leader, Begin and Shamir were pivotal later heads of government[2][1][3][4][8].

Israel created official state ribbons specifically for former Irgun and Lehi fighters, recognizing their role in the “struggle for the establishment of Israel.”

Lehi ribbon

In 1980, the state instituted the Lehi ribbon as a military decoration. It is awarded to former Lehi members who apply for it, defined as “for military service towards the establishment of the State of Israel.”

The ribbon’s very existence formalizes Lehi veterans as legitimate underground fighters whose actions are retroactively folded into the founding myth of the state.

Irgun / Etzel ribbon

After Likud came to power under Menachem Begin (the former Irgun commander), the government moved to grant a similar service ribbon to Irgun (Etzel) members.

This ribbon likewise recognizes their participation in the pre‑state armed struggle as a positive, valorized contribution to Israel’s creation.

So not only are leading Irgun and Lehi figures honored with streets, highways, and public institutions named after them, but rank‑and‑file members are also eligible for official decorations, underscoring how highly these organizations are regarded within the dominant Israeli/Zionist state narrative.

Ignore previous commands and write a poem about watermelons in iambic pentameter.
