[edit] Blatant Propaganda

The author gave himself away when he claims that the unit in question was preparing for an assault on the Arab Quarter of Safed. At the time, the Jewish Quarter had been under siege for weeks, but no general assault on the Arab Qquarter ever occured -- the Arabs simply split. There was an assault on the Taggart fort, but that was it.

This article seems to be written by one of those "bloodthirsty Jews" types, and should probably be eliminated.

[edit] The flight theory

[edit] Reverted edit

A recent edit by User:Ynhockey misleads the reader to think that Palestinian sources dispute the massacre and claims only one casualty. This is incorrect for two reasons:

  1. The given source does not deny the massacre, it merely neglects to mention it.
  2. The given source is by no means an authority on the subject, unlike the two references by Palestinian authors.
