"Ever since Zionists started arriving in Palestine, massacres became common which include brutal killings of innocent Palestinians in the name of “Israel” – a name which started to hold a connotation of destruction and death for Palestinians. And one such massacre occurred at Dir Yassin where Palestinian civilians were tortured, killed and their bodies mutilated; where women were raped, babies were butchered and the bellies of pregnant women ripped open."
On April 9, 1949, early morning on a Friday, Menachem Begin and Stern Gang gathered commandos of the Irgun and Haganah and attacked Dir Yassin even after the village had agreed to a non-aggression pact. This village had about 750 Palestinian residents and lay near the area which United Nations declared to be included in the future Jewish state. Although the village had a peaceful reputation but its location suited Jews the most as it lay between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. According to a secret plan leaked some years later, Israel planned to build a small airbase at this place by cleansing this place of the residents that would serve to supply to Jews living in Jerusalem.
