{{ping|Zero0000}} What an amazing document!! Is the timestamp of the communique correct? If so, wouldn't it prove that Palmach showed up in the ''morning'' and not ''at noon''?

: {{Re|ImTheIP}} Thanks, I found that in a microfilm collection of documents from the archive of the Jabotinsky Institute (whose seal you can see at the top). You are right, if the dates and times are correct the Palmach arrived in the morning. But are they right? I don't know. There are a lot more Deir Yassin materials in the same source, mostly in Hebrew. I think that the famous testimonies of participants are there, but I'm not sure because they are hand-written and my hand-written Hebrew is even worse than my printed Hebrew.

Number of deaths

It is not acceptable to quote 254 victims as a maximum estimate, since this number has since been revealed by modern scholarship to have been wildly exaggerated, with the actual number most likely less than half that amount. Jacob D (talk) 18:29, 11 December 2019 (UTC)Jacob D[reply]

Yehuda Lapidot

How come he is cited in the article? He took part in the attack, hence his claims are completely untrustworthy. ImTheIP (talk) 15:22, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Citing him gives the Irgun point of view, but citing him 7 times as now is ridiculous. Zerotalk 04:26, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@ImTheIP: Thanks, I found that in a microfilm collection of documents from the archive of the Jabotinsky Institute (whose seal you can see at the top). You are right, if the dates and times are correct the Palmach arrived in the morning. But are they right? I don't know. There are a lot more Deir Yassin materials in the same source, mostly in Hebrew. I think that the famous testimonies of participants are there, but I'm not sure because they are hand-written and my hand-written Hebrew is even worse than my printed Hebrew.
