Yesterday's bulletin was sent out without the video of Abbas due to a technical error. The following is the video in which Abbas acknowledges that the Arabs of Safed left Israel of their own volition in 1948:
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas:
"The [Arab] Liberation Army retreated from the city [Safed in 1948],
causing the [Arab] people to begin emigrating. In Safed, just like
Hebron, people were afraid that the Jews would take revenge for the
[Arab] massacre [of Jews] in 1929. The 1929 massacre was most severe in
Safed and Hebron (Note: 65 Jews were killed in Hebron, 18 in Safed).
Let's mention the 3 men from these cities who were executed (by the
British Court, for "brutal murders"): Ataa Al-Zir, [Muhammad] Jamjoum
and Fuad Hijazi. Hijazi from Safed and the other two from Hebron. The
people (of Safed in 1948) were overcome with fear, and it caused the
people to leave the city in a disorderly way."Click to view
