Zionists often mention the phrase “Deir Yassin” – why? What is it?
* For fifty years, critics of Israel have used the battle of Deir Yassin to blacken the image of the Jewish State, alleging that Jewish fighters massacred hundreds of Arab civilians during a battle in that Arab village near Jerusalem in 1948. – ZOA Press Release: March 9, 1998 – Deir Yassin: History of a Lie * One of the biggest thorns in the sides of the anti-Zionists has been the seeming moral superiority of the returning Jewish refugees of the Diaspora in the resurrection of the state for their nation. A seemingly impossible task for the anti-Zionists is to deflect attention from their naughty Arab children – with their terrorism, war-making, antisemitism, genocidal ideation, Holocaust denial, human rights abuses, repression of basic freedoms, ethnic cleansing, institutionalized rape and slavery. An awesome challenge indeed. Hence the need to establish ‘Moral Relativism’ and ‘Moral Equivalence’.
