Actually no Gazans want to leave, as it is their tradition to stay where the bones of their ancestors are buried, and they have never left in over 8000 years.

That is an obvious lie, because the explosives brought in by Menachim Begin were hidden in a dozen or so huge milk canisters.
They then had to be opened, connected together with prima cord, and wired to a timer detonator.
A warning could not possibly have been "called in" because then the British would have not only seen the bombs in the kitchen, but the tied-up kitchen staff.

The past is riddled with questionable acts. The present situation requires either a peace treaty or the extermination of one side or the other. Not my circus, not my monkeys.

Rigby always keeps repeating about targeting the British MILITARY HEADQUARTERS situated in KING DAVID HOTEL..
Why did the British police refuse to evacuate the Hotel after Etzel warned them???
King David Hotel bombing drove away the British'.
The British could have ruled the country for many more years if it hadn't been for the King David Hotel bombing, says author and journalist Yosef Evron. 60 years since the hotel bombing.

the British themselves caused the explosion to happen. After they learned of the plan, they tried to neutralize the bombs that were planted in the milk jugs, but the bombs were arranged in such a way that if they were touched, they would explode prematurely. This was a patent that Amichai Paglin first introduced into the milk jug. The bombs were arranged in such a way that if they were moved, a spring would be activated, causing them to explode immediately.
The British tried to dismantle the bombs and as a result, as mentioned, they detonated them earlier. They claimed that they did not receive the message until several minutes before the explosion, but Evron says that This claim is incorrect and that the British received the notification prematurely. Therefore, according to him, the British are the ones who bear the blame for the explosion.
According to Evron, it also turns out that the British forbade the publication of the results of the investigative committees that investigated the issue. "Documents in the British state archives on the hotel explosion are also closed to the public to this day, since they could embarrass certain figures in the government," says Evron. He adds that the disaster could have been avoided and the victims could have been saved if the Secretary-General of the Mandate at the time, Shaw, had ordered the evacuation of the hotel. Instead, he waited for approval from 'Yannai,' an approval that did not arrive, and ordered the bombs to be dismantled, thus causing the explosion to occur earlier..

The warning to the British BEFORE the explosion
Attack on the army headquarters and the British government center
at the King David Hotel
25 Tammuz 5776, 24.7.46
Summary: Response to claims that the Irgun caused unnecessary death in the explosion.
Keywords: King David Hotel
TAMMUZ 25 5706 - JULY 23, 1946, ONE DAY AFTER BOMBING:
Message:
A. On Tammuz 24, 5706, at 12:05, soldiers of the National Military Organization attacked the centers of British government: the General Secretariat of the occupation government and the General Headquarters of the occupation army.
The attack was carried out during a battle with the British army and police guards.
B. According to the pre-determined plan, the explosive device was activated only half an hour after it was placed in the attacked building.
C. Immediately after the device was placed, telephone warnings were given to the King David Hotel's telephone center, to the newspaper companies, to telegraph agencies, and to the French Consulate, which is located next door to the hotel. In addition, a (harmless) warning bomb was dropped in front of the hotel's plaza, to alert its residents and to keep the public away from the area.
D. The tragedy that occurred in the civilian offices of the occupation government was not caused by the Hebrew soldiers, who performed their duties with courage and self-sacrifice, and who observed with soldierly rigor the instructions given to them regarding the time required to evacuate the building as civilians; it was caused by the British enslavers themselves, who did not heed the warning and did not evacuate the building, according to the advice of their military "experts", who took it upon themselves to evacuate the bombing mechanisms, the slightest touch of which was bound to cause an explosion. Even against this touch, warnings were placed on large signs in three languages.
E. The telephone warnings were given at 12.10-12.15. And if the British liars' statement is correct. that the great explosion occurred at 12.37, then even then they had 22 (twenty-two) minutes to evacuate the building of its residents and employees.
Therefore, the responsibility for the loss of life among the civilian population falls on them, and only on them.
F. It is not true that the warners spoke "in the name of the rebellion movement"; they did not mention - according to the resolution - any name. In this matter, we refrain for the time being from issuing another statement. However, it is possible that, following the wild and cowardly incitement, there will be a need at the appropriate time to issue such a statement.
G. We mourn the Jewish victims. They are also tragic victims of the Hebrew War of Freedom, which is more tragic and superior than any other.
H. We call on the people and the youth to stand fearlessly against the plots of the enemy, who is determined to enslave and destroy us. Tell the instigators, and those who cower in blindness and trembling knees, after the British false statements: And are not the British crimes the ones that demand "rising"?
Hebrew blood is being shed like water throughout the world. This blood is shed directly and indirectly by the British enslavers, therefore we fight them tirelessly, without hesitation, a life-or-death war.

Israeli Writer says Deir Yassin Was a Blood Libel.
Zach Pontz, Algeminer, Oct 25, 2012.
www.algemeiner.com
Whatever the case may be, word got out that Jews had become unprovoked aggressors[sic] and killers[sic].
Dr. Milstein, who has been researching the topic for decades, argues that a massacre never occurred. Rather, he claims that those civilians killed were the unfortunate victims of warfare—the cost of a battle for survival that meant many unfortunate casualties on both sides of the fight.
And he also believes that Deir Yassin was an effective way to mobilize Arabs into creating a Palestinian nation, to confront a Jewish State. “To be a nation you should fight against threats to your nation. You want the nation to survive. They didn’t fight against Jews seriously at first. The Arabs didn’t want to fight, they fled after Deir Yassin. But then they did. So my question is what changed them? Determination. And my next question was ‘What caused them to be determined?’ My answer was Deir Yassin. So they used this myth of a massacre to become a Palestinian nation.”
The village today is an orthodox Jewish neighborhood, Har Nof, incorporated into Jerusalem. Time may have whitewashed the physical scars of long ago battle, but it hasn’t diminished the battle between minds on just what happened there sixty four years ago.

Propaganda Exposed.
Review of 'The Massacre That Never Was' by Eliezer Tauber
Seth Mandel, Commentary Magazine, March 2022.
www.commentary.org
The background to the Deir Yassin tragedy is this: Palestine’s Arab population declared war on the nascent Jewish state as soon as the United Nations approved its plan to partition Mandatory Palestine into two countries, one Jewish and one Arab, in November 1947.
Jerusalem was surrounded by hostile Arab villages, and the British, who favored the Arabs, remained in control until the expiration of the Mandate (which would come in May 1948). Jerusalem was thus cut off from the other Jewish towns and put under siege. To prevent starvation and mass murder, Jewish forces had to pacify or conquer the villages surrounding the road to Jerusalem. Arab attacks on the road made it impossible to resupply the Jews of Jerusalem with food and arms.
Deir Yassin was one such place. Though it had economic ties with nearby Jewish villages, Arabs from Deir Yassin had joined the widespread anti-Jewish violence in 1929 and then again during the Arab Revolt of 1936–39. After the partition vote, relations between the Deir Yassin Arabs and the Jews began to erode for good.
Haganah intelligence overestimated the number of Arab fighters who would be present in Deir Yassin—and vastly underestimated the firepower awaiting Jewish forces. So while Jewish forces outnumbered their Arab counterparts, those forces did not have sufficient weaponry; they went into battle with mere pistols or malfunctioning machine guns. The villagers also built firing positions and, crucially, impassable trenches, one of which disabled the vehicle carrying the warning loudspeaker.
Further complicating matters was the fact that Irgun and Lehi commanders relied on runners instead of radios to communicate, and the siege of Jerusalem meant that the Jerusalem branches of the underground had become operationally independent from their central leadership. Irgun leader Menachem Begin, for example, didn’t
even know which village was being targeted. His only demands of the forces theoretically under his command were that they warn the villagers first (hence the ill-fated loudspeaker) and that Irgun and Lehi follow international law.
Chaos reigned. The first Jewish forces to enter the village accidentally gave away their position when they mistook Arab guards for Jewish soldiers. The car with the loudspeaker got stuck. The guns of the Jewish forces proved largely useless against the stone structures of the village, which meant they had to blast their way into (and sometimes through) houses with explosives. They did so only after warning the inhabitants at each home; Arab survivors confirmed the individual warnings.
The Arab side added to the confusion. Women took part in combat, including as snipers. Some male fighters were disguised as women. Some male combatants attempted to mix in with convoys of female prisoners. And Arab snipers shot Arab prisoners who were helping transport the wounded.
Still, most of the villagers (around 700) were able to flee. In the end, 101 villagers were killed in the battle according to Tauber’s exhaustive process, which involved cross-listing genealogical records with fatality lists from researchers and village leaders over the course of decades. Tauber was able to ascertain the circumstances in which 84 were killed. Of those 84, “61 were killed under battle conditions.” The majority were men, though some of the women killed were combatants as well. There was no evidence of rape at all.
Arab survivor testimony confirms these findings. So what led British Chief Secretary of Palestine Henry Gurney to say the atrocities were so shocking that Bergen-Belsen “pales beside them”? What made UN High Commissioner Alan Cunningham claim that “women and children were stripped, lined up, photographed and then slaughtered by automatic fire”?
There was fault on the Jewish side, to be sure: One Irgun officer (who was not at Deir Yassin) at first inflated the number of Arab casualties, thinking that would serve as a psychological victory over the Arabs. But such chest-puffery was brief and insignificant. The man most responsible for the lies of Deir Yassin was Husayn al-Khalidi, secretary of the Arab Higher Committee.
“We must make the most of this,” Khalidi told Arab journalist Hazzim Nusayba. “I think we should give this the utmost propaganda possible because the Arab countries apparently are not interested in assisting us.” According to Khalidi, the Arab authorities were therefore “forced to give a picture—not what is actually happening—but we had to exaggerate a little bit so that maybe the Arab countries would become enthusiastic to come and assist us.”
Khalidi instructed a group of survivors to participate in the ruse, telling them, “We want you to say that the Jews slaughtered people, committed atrocities, raped, and stole gold.”
The scheme panicked the Palestinian Arabs. “We cannot bear that our women should be raped,” local leaders responded. Remarkably, it was the people of Deir Yassin who tried to put the genie back in the bottle.
“There were no rapes. It’s all lies. There were no pregnant women who were slit open. It was propaganda…so Arab armies would invade,” one testified.
“Frankly speaking, I never heard from them anything about any incident of sexual assault,” said another.
When the battlefield was inspected, all the dead were found fully clothed with no signs of abuse or mutilation.
It wasn’t just sexual violence that the survivors of Deir Yassin pooh-poohed. “I believe that most of those who were killed were among the fighters and the women and children who helped the fighters,” one survivor said. Another recalled: “They did not kill women. They did not kill small children. Only men above the age of 15 or 16.” A third: “I did not see them actually slaughtering women or children in front of me.” Yet another survivor, when asked if he or anyone else had witnessed rumored executions in the quarries, responded: “Whoever was busy in a battle could not see.”
Perhaps no piece of anti-Zionist propaganda backfired on the Palestinians with greater force than the myth of Deir Yassin. They effectively depopulated themselves from the area. “The other villages started to leave one after the other, without resistance, out of fear and apprehension of another similar massacre,” a survivor wrote a few years after the battle. According to a Palestinian researcher who interviewed survivors in the 1990s, “the Deir Yassin affair was the main cause for the 1948 exodus.” Palestinian officials blamed the Deir Yassin rumors for causing “the collapse of armed resistance,” as families throughout the country fled and soldiers ran back from the front to protect their families who were staying put. As many as 700,000 Palestinian Arabs went to Gaza or Jordan.
The lies also inspired reprisals. Jews defending Kfar Etzion surrendered to Arab invaders, who slaughtered over a hundred of them anyway, some chanting “Deir Yassin, Deir Yassin.” Similar chants could be heard from attackers who ambushed a convoy of Jewish medical staff en route to Hadassah hospital, killing nearly 80. Even the British tried to get in on the action: Cunningham, the high commissioner, ordered airstrikes on Deir Yassin to kill the remaining Jewish soldiers. Irgun and Lehi learned of the order and handed over control of Deir Yassin to the Haganah. Cunningham called off the strike.
What happened after Deir Yassin was emblematic of the Arab–Israeli conflict on the whole. The Jews are falsely accused of atrocities their enemies actually carry out—with intent...

In April 1948, Deir Yassin was an Arab village of about a thousand residents. It was captured then by Jewish forces seeking to break the siege of Jerusalem during the war
www.commentary.org
