46 years ago today: the Qibya Massacre

Zionist historian Avi Shlaim describes the massacre thus: "The village was reduced to rubble: forty-nine building were blown up, and sixty-nine civilians, two thirds of them women and children, had been killed." The act was condemned by the U.S. State Department, the UN Security Council, and by Jewish communities worldwide. As a result, aid was temporarily suspended to Israel.
