Nusseibeh quote

As evidenced by the edit history, I've been obsessed about this page for the last week. There's some loose threads hanging still, such as this interview with Hogan:

Contrary to descriptions, Nusseibeh never says he falsely reported anything when he reported in 1948 that at Deir Yassin children were killed and “all sorts of atrocities” took place. The narrator actually puts words in his mouth implying he backed away from that. So if you see online polemics that say Nusseibeh admitted to lying about the event, of even Wikipedia entries saying that, that is false.

Fun. :) What he appears to be referring to is this video at around the 6:00 mark. Would be cool if anyone could verify whether Nusseibeh actually is misquoted. ImTheIP (talk) 17:11, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Morris

There are 40 mentions of "Morris" (Benny Morris) in the article. Benny Morris is one of the most authoritative historians on the Middle East conflict. The first mention is in the "Arab Militia" section (footnote 28). And it just says "Morris", not "Benny Morris", indicating that there was probably a previous mention of Morris when his full name was used. I know this article has been rewritten, but wonder if an important previous mention citing Morris was removed, and why.

Pictures?

AFAIK; all pictures from the aftermath of the massacre are still impounded by the IDF. Yes; I have seen some pictures "floating around" on the internet, (including this, which is *clearly* not from the Deir Yassin massacre: people were simply not using that sort of clothes in Deir Yassin, 1948! -I suspect the picture is from the Sabra and Shatila massacre) (In addition to the clothes: look at the houses: the houses of Deir Yassin were very well built (there were a lot of stone-masons there); but the houses in the picture looks as if it is from a refugee camp.)
