Deir Yassin

Author's name: Walid Hassan Al-Madani

Yassin left his village at a young age, not knowing what fate awaited him. He found true love there, thinking that their love could be the fruit of coexistence between Arabs and Jews in the village of Deir Yassin, but he did not know that it was a fire that spared nothing. He lived and grew up in that small village, and for its sake, he resisted and fought when members of the Irgun and Stern Gangs attacked them. Despite the resistance, the attackers regained their strength after the arrival of aid and were able to seize it and open fire without discrimination between men, children, or women. It was not a battle, but a massacre. The final question remains: For what sin were these innocent people killed?
