The finding of the remains of dozens of people in a collective tomb in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv could witness today, 65 years later, Israeli militia massacres.

The most notorious case of this ethnic cleansing was the village of Deir Yessin, whose inhabitants, including women, children and elderly non-combatants, were machine-gunned in abundance and the buildings demolished.



Armed groups formed by Zionist organizations such as Irgun, Stern and Haganah were responsible for collective killings to force hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homes and residential areas during and after the 1948 war, unleashed by the proclamation of the State of Israel.



The remains were found in six chambers during repair work on the last Thursday\only yesterday it is determined that Palestinian civilians died in mysterious circumstances and were hastily buried in what is now the district of Jaffa.



In Gaza, a fisherman \80 years old, said that in his youth he was forced by Zionist militias to take dead men and women and put them in collective tombs.



"I remember having taken (...) not less than 60 corpses in a space of three or four months (...) after the tombs were covered with earth without rites or prayers," Maan Atar Zeinab, a fisherman residing in the zone told reporters.



During the days of the declaration of Israel in May 1948 the Zionist militias, supported by the British military and experts from various countries, annihilated whole populations or forced to move from their places of residence.

If many Israeli human rights groups and MGOs are horrified at this type of incident (although the existence of such pressure groups within Israel does not make the headlines) it is also true that the authorities seem to be blinded by hatred and obviously some of them make more money through the continuation of war than by the institution of peace.
