Omar Haramy on the Nakba of 1948
Omar Haramy of Sabeel, our Palestinian host and tour leader from Sabeel, the Jerusalem-based Christian liberation theology movement, explaining the most infamous incident among numerous massacres of Palestine women, men, children and elderly people by Zionist militia groups. David Ben-Gurion, the key Zionist leader, who settled from Warsaw, Poland in Palestine in 1906, ordered his militias to line up Palestinian villages, mass-execute them, and spread the news of "the Jewish terror". The objective was to terrorise the native populations across UN-partitioned Palestine into never thinking of ever returning to their own villages, hamlets and towns, after the establishment of the State of Israel on 14 May 1948, annexing even the land which UN-mandated to the Palestinian population, the overwhelming majority of Palestine in 1947.
