My question is that there has to be a credible source behind the names of the dead along with :the age and sex. One cannot get from 254 to >over 100 without convincing proof from a :credible source. so far i have found this:

""""A study by Bir Zeit University, based on discussions with each family from the village, arrived at a figure of 107 Arab civilians dead and 12 wounded, in addition to 13 ""fighters,"" evidence that the number of dead was smaller than claimed and that the village did have troops based there."" (Sharif Kanaana and Nihad Zitawi, ""Deir Yassin,"" Monograph No. 4, Destroyed Palestinian Villages Documentation Project, (Bir Zeit: Documentation Center of Bir Zeit University, 1987), p. 55) (Bard)""

which on the face of it makes the concept of massacre difficult to digest.  04:27, 15"
