Deir Yassin: The Massacre That Changed the 1948 War
Om avsnittet
In April 1948, as the British Mandate came to an end and war raged between Jewish and Arab forces, a small Palestinian village west of Jerusalem became the site of a brutal massacre that would echo for decades. Irgun and Lehi fighters, with the Haganah's tacit consent, attacked Deir Yassin, killing over a hundred civilians—men, women, and children. The atrocity terrified the Palestinian population and accelerated the mass exodus known as the Nakba, while also inflaming Arab armies and galvanizing international opinion. In this episode, Lucas and Luna examine the events of April 9, 1948, the conflicting accounts of what happened, and the lasting historical and political significance of Deir Yassin as a symbol of suffering and a flashpoint in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. They discuss the key figures involved, the controversy over whether the massacre was ordered, and how it shaped the war and the refugee crisis.
