Information on the Deir Yassin massacre, in which Zionist militas murdered over 100 residents of Deir Yassin on April 9, 1948. This traumatic event, often commemorated in Palestinian collective memory, sparked panic and caused many Palestinians to flee their homes fearing Zionist militia violence, making it clear that the Nakba was a process that began before the official outbreak of the 1948 War, and continued long after the war's conclusion. This source is a helpful introduction to the Deir Yassin massacre, Zionist militias, ethnic cleansing, Palestinian displacement, and the ongoing Nakba.
