@VandyonTigers The Lee point is a good one. You need to give him time so you can see what you have. It’s a long season and you can’t give up yet, but you also need to let your young guys learn. I choose to be an optimist (it’s better than the alternative). Hoping for some Ws!

@lamper9999 @Everdeader @UJAfedNY @JCRCNY The word Nakba was used to describe failure of the Arab war. The current meaning has been changed for propaganda purposes.

This real-time 1948 article from The Economist completely destroys the modern “Nakba” narrative that was invented decades later as political propaganda.

Straight from British eyewitnesses in Haifa, October 2, 1948:

“Jewish authorities urged all Arabs to remain in Haifa and guaranteed them protection and security ... However, of the 62,000 Arabs who formerly lived in Haifa, not more than 5,000 or 6,000 remained.

The most potent factor was the announcements made over the air by the Arab Higher Executive, urging the Arabs to quit ... those who remained and accepted Jewish protection would be regarded as renegades.”

They didn’t flee because of “Zionist ethnic cleansing.”
They fled because Arab leaders ordered them to get out of the way so their armies could “drive the Jews into the sea.”

Then they lost the war they started — and spent the next 77 years rewriting history to blame the Jews.

The “Nakba” you were taught? Pure revisionist fiction.

This day (April 13) in 1948, local & invading Arabs committed the Hadassah Convoy Massacre, killing 77 Jewish doctors, nurses, medical students, patients & university staff in cold blood during Israel’s War of Independence.

The convoy was trying to reach besieged Jewish Jerusalem where the Arabs were deliberately attempting to starve out the Jews.

The Arabs blocked and ambushed food convoys and by March-April 1948, Jews were surviving on starvation rations: around 100 grams of bread per day, a few beans, and tiny amounts of margarine or cheese. People dropped dead in the streets from hunger. Water was rationed.

Meanwhile, Hadassah Hospital on Mount Scopus was a critical lifeline. It was the largest and best-equipped medical center in the region, and it treated Jews and Arabs alike. But Arab forces blockaded the short 2-mile road through Sheikh Jarrah to the hospital, which was now running out of medicine and food and was suffering from lack of staff given the increasing need.

The Jews tried several times to break the siege, and on April 13, a clearly marked medical convoy (buses flying Red Shield of David flags) carrying doctors, nurses, students, patients, and desperately needed supplies set out from central Jerusalem to relieve the besieged hospital.

Near Sheikh Jarrah, however, the Massacre began. First, an Arab-laid mine blew up the lead vehicle. Then came the ambush. Hundreds of local Arabs and members of the Jordanian Arab Legion opened fire on the medical convoy with machine guns, rifles, grenades, and Molotov cocktails.

For SEVEN agonizing hours, the trapped Jews fought back with small arms while British troops (who were stationed just 200 yards away) watched and did nothing (note: the Arab Legion was trained and led by British officers against the Jews). All appeals for help were ignored, and white flags were actually shot at.

Jewish passengers burned alive inside the buses as flames consumed them. Bodies were charred beyond recognition. Doctors and nurses who had dedicated their lives to healing were executed while trying to treat the wounded on the spot. Among the dead was Dr. Chaim Yassky, director of Hadassah Hospital.

In total, 77 innocents were murdered, and dozens more were maimed or wounded. Only a handful escaped.

The Arabs celebrated it as a “heroic exploit.”

This is part of the story of 1948 they simply don’t tell you.
