| A Very grim account from Safsaf | eMail to a friend
Return to Safsaf |
Posted by Ali Zeidan on June 21, 2001
Here is a very grim account from Safsaf, a village seven kilometers northwest of Safad.
[After being lined up in front of some village houses] As we lined up, a few Jewish soldiers ordered four girls to accompany them to carry water for the soldiers. Instead, they took them to our empty houses and raped them. About 70 of our men were blindfolded and shot to death, one after the other, in front of us. The soldiers took their bodies and threw them on the cement covering of the village's spring and dumped sand on them. I stayed in the village for almost a week... the Jews visited us once or twice.
They told us that we might stay in the village if we wished, suggesting that we send word to our men to return to the village. Although they assured us that no harm would come to us... that we should forget about what had happened in the village, we did not trust them nor did we believe them. Every night, about four persons would leave the village without the Jews' knowledge. I did not want to stay... How could we forget what they did to our boys?... How could we open our hearts to them and really trust them?
