I am defending no one. Grandparent comment was asking for OP assertions that I find biased. Deir Yassin quote was a one such assertion. Extremely well researched - books have been written about it - but presented in a very biased manner. Paul cherry-picked the worst description of the events.

Careful then with words like "broader context".

IDF has never declassified its report on the massacre? If anything we don't know whats biased and whats not.

Apparently, Benny Morris (who I quote above) had access once, and doesn't appear to disagree that much with the UN report, despite his pro-Israel bias. I mean, Benny Morris is the kind of guy who thinks ethnic cleansing of Pals would have been moral and just answer to the Question of Palestine.
