The IDF has decided that former Lechi fighter Ezra Yachin will no longer be allowed to lecture to soldiers in educational courses. Meretz MK Naomi Chazan complained that Yachin tells his audiences that Lechi soldiers did not carry out a massacre in Dir Yassin in 1948. Yachin himself, who took part in the battle at Dir Yassin, says that the decision to keep him away from soldiers "astonishes" him. He says that just as there was no massacre in Jenin, there was none in Dir Yassin.
A work by ZOA National President Morton A. Klein, entitled, Dir Yassin: History of a Lie, brings to light important documents that disprove the claim that 250-300 Arab civilians were massacred by Jewish fighters in Deir Yassin. The study finds that Deir Yassin was actually a legitimate military target, overlooking the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv highway, from where Jewish traffic was regularly attacked.
