Distorting History For The Benefit Of Israel

Here is a poorly publicized aspect of the recent massacre in Jerusalem:

... the Har Nof neighborhood in West Jerusalem, where four rabbis and a police officer were recently murdered, is built on the lands of Deir Yassin, the Arab village which no longer exists, that was the site of the 1948 massacre, which according to Menachem Begin, was pivotal to the founding of the Jewish state. This was an early massacre in the Nakba; there were many more to follow, but it struck fear among Palestinians, causing many to flee, also giving the Jews an angle for campaigns of terror, which they visited on other Palestinian villages, basically “Get out or we’ll do to you what we did in Deir Yassin.”

It is interesting to ask why the media, which has been all over this synagogue massacre, mentions nothing about what happened on this site on April 9, 1948?

The answer is that although we are continually reminded of the Holocaust, the crimes of the Israelis are nowhere discussed in America:

At Yad Vashem all visitors, and especially American politicians, are repeatedly told to “Never forget.” At Deir Yassin the message is “Never mind.”

This statement at the end of Professor McGowan's essay exemplifies the degree to which Israel controls and stifles discussion of their atrocities and human rights abuses:

Because of admonishment by the administration, it is hereby stated that the above remarks are solely those of the author. Hobart and William Smith Colleges neither condone nor condemn these opinions. Furthermore, the author has been instructed to use his personal email address of mcgowandaniel@yahoo.com and not his college email at mcgowan@hws.edu for those wishing to contact him with comments or criticisms.

Any and all lies or distortions which portray Palestinians as devils are welcomed in America, but any discussion which might portray Israel in a bad light is verboten. Given this historical blindness, is it any wonder that we have absolutely no clue what is really happening in the Middle East?
