The Palestinian Remembrance Day of Deir Yassin

Deir Yassin was a Palestinian village caught in the conflict between the Arabs and Jews in 1948 during a blockade of Jerusalem. Was the reporting of the events at Deir Yassin propaganda or fact? And what about the lives of all that were impacted by the devastation of the village? In Geneva, New York, a bronze sculpture was installed in 2003, commemorating the loss of Palestinian lives at Deir Yassin, created by Arab American artist and pacifist, Khalil Bendib. In Israel, Palestinians continue to wait for a memorial to be established, amidst allegations that the destruction of the village and loss of lives was much exaggerated.
