i know a little bit about or not to tell people about what happened just to make it more israeli and village is now a mental health center of the buildings are used and they're all fenced in you can't go into the village all around here and all the lands of fear you see is an old shore orthodox jewish limestone and cut it in shipped it to different places in the area most of the arab houses in the village were heavy c limestone houses with arches gateways and so forth their land was desired to build a jewish state their land was in the corridor between jerusalem and tel aviv and there was a play on formulated to drive all of the non jews out of that area these were arabs that were living there peaceably and were driven out because they were not  if somebody didn't know it they wouldn't know the cemetery it's also been not exactly plundered but besides the theory that you know we were here last year and a bunch of the religious kids here kind of jumped over the wall with us and started to run around the show as things i mean they didn't have any sense of where it was really but because it wasn't jewish it had no meaning it had no as the battle began in the end it began at about three thirty to four o'clock in the morning many of the people from various scene the younger people were able to flee down the mountainside toward i up in the west what they thought would be an easy target actually turned out to be much more difficult for of their people were killed and thirty two were wounded  so they asked the hog and off for help ha got up being the main jewish defense force the hugger that i had originally not supported the attack and there you see but they did agree to help to try to get the wounded out the ha going to head a strike force an elite force called the palm off the palm accent seventeen men with a two inch mortar and within an hour they killed all of the resistance of four of their own began to systematically murder men women and children at their most of those who were killed somewhere between one hundred ten and one hundred thirty were women and children and old men over sixty years put them on trucks and they did a whole parade down joffe a road and they marched them downtown all the jews were standing and clapping and everything else that we won this whole victory india's scene and then they took them they shot in the executed them it's reported that on april tenth in the new york times this was an exaggeration designed to scare the air to cause them to leave palestine to drive them diffusing you know they were ethnically cleansed and those people today and now are something like three and a half million three and a half million people who were it this place i mean even in the middle of the city you have trees that were from this time from you know before forty eight then i'll keep looking around and then i see the houses or the rooms and the w another culture another religion another type of living even the food is different even the way people dress is different and yet they don't want to accept that they are occupying another nation they always think of it people that lived here had no claim to this land they were not rightful inhabitants and so what we did is not wrong on the contrary what we're doing until today is redeeming the land for the jewish people  as long as that's the the view of most people you're not going to have the reconciliation and the acknowledgment i think ppressed because the fact that you're living on somebody else's land is suppressed and you can't really deal with it but you have to like justify to yourself in some way i have to believe that they want to kill me because if i don't believe them they all want to kill me then how come i've kicked them off and then how come i can live here when they can't lives that you could know the history and you could feel guilt about the history but that doesn't make you more active towards preventing history from coming back the only thing to to the palestinians that are citizens of our country that live with us let's acknowledge that this happened let's put up some signs make it a part of our heritage as well make an inclusive it has to be corrected in history and we as palestinian people have to remember these massacres the same way that the jewish people remember the massacres that seem village which is one of the few intact religious let's turn it into an educational center i remember and splays a museum and let's use this is a real opportunity to heal and to reconstruct the relationships of jews and palestinians and this c very soon remembered as built of memorial it's in geneva new york it was built and dedicated to the very day that edwards aida one of the board members of there you seen remembered passed away for many people it looks like an abstract sculpture but a palestinian recognizes it as an olive tree
