Palestinians Tantura | New Al-Nakba has called for an investigation into Israeli massacres

Zionist groups that killed at least 200 Palestinians were destroyed in 1948 in the village of Tantura.

The Palestinian Authority (PA) has called for Israel to set up an international commission to investigate the 1948 massacre in the Palestinian town of Tantura.

The call came after the Israeli newspaper Haaretz on Thursday (1948) when the modern state of Israel was formed after Zionist groups reported the discovery of a mass grave in the Palestinian town of Tantura.

Palestinians say Zionist groups carried out numerous massacres against Palestinians in the 1948 war in the 1948 war, with the aim of forcibly evicting at least 750,000 Palestinians from their homes and lands, a tragedy that Palestinians call the Nakba or catastrophe.

“The crimes of the occupation did not stop in 1948, but still continue in a racist and hateful manner, which requires the opening of investigations into these crimes,” the PA Foreign Ministry said on Saturday.

The statement went on to say: “All that is needed is a broad international campaign to bring justice to the Palestinian victims and to punish Israeli officials and the official Israeli organization that continues to hide and cover up the atrocities of these crimes and massacres.”

In his report, Haaretz said that Israeli officials “fought in the 1948 Tantura village [have] Finally, clean up the massacre of Arabs after the surrender of the people. ”

He added that a documentary called Tantura would be broadcast online next week, as well as the testimonies of Israeli soldiers involved in the massacre.

The power of narrative

The Tantura massacre took place on the night of May 22-23, 1948, according to Palestinian historians.

The Nakba incident said that the events in Nakba were constantly “failing to bury the truth of the crimes and massacres of these Zionist gangs in successive Israeli governments, knowing that the leaders responsible for carrying them out are senior officials in the occupation army and the occupation army.”

Haaretz’s revelations have angered Palestinians, who have long documented their ethnic cleansing through oral and written accounts – such as Walid al-Khalidi’s historical book All That Remains – and say their accounts are always reliable unless the Israelis remember them. such atrocities.

Palestinian researcher Hashem Abu Shama said on Twitter that the story of Haaretz is more a reflection of Israeli historiography than that of a massacred Palestinian.

“If anything, it proves that colonial attackers, colonial academics, and colonial archives are empowered to automatically‘ tell ’,” he said. he said.

At this point, the only reason to believe Nakba’s Israeli narrative about the Palestinians is pure racism.

And while Israeli historians like Benny Morris have had access to archival files on forced displacement of Palestinians without ceasing to use the term “ethnic cleansing,” others, such as Israeli academic Ilan Pappe, have had a harsh response from Israeli society. The events of 1948 are like that.

Pappe, who now teaches at Exeter University, was ridiculed and fired from his post at the University of Haifa in 2008 after the Tantura massacre, which was revealed by his student Teddy Katz, took place.

Katz dismissed his findings after a public campaign of pressure and fear.
