A village turned into a graveyard more than once.

November 3, 1956

It first started on a Saturday, with over 250 Palestinians murdered that day. But this wasn’t a high enough death toll for IOF terrorists, so they came back on November 12 and killed 275 more Palestinian victims. Before the mass killing, the IOF dropped leaflets letting the population know they were going to be exterminated — how truly serial-killeresque of them! The IOF indiscriminately fired on everyone included crowds out in the public, as well as people in their homes — they also made sure to kill people while their families watched.

As is typical with the IOF, they couldn’t leave the dead alone, as the Palestinians were forbidden from retrieving the dead bodies. When the IOF left Khan Yunis, a mass grave was discovered in its vicinity — in 1957. This grave contained the remains of 40 Palestinian men who were shot in the back of the head.

Liberal Western Democracy Triplets of Terrorism

The Khan Yunis Massacre wasn’t the only act of terror committed by IOF serial killers around that period — they also participated with Britain and France, regimes the grandfathers of colonialism and genocide, to attack Egypt. In October 1956 the IOF invaded Egypt, with British and French forces joining in November. The British and French thought Egyptian property belonged to them, and the zionists just needed an excuse to kill Arabs. This was punishment for Egyptian president Gamal Abdul Nasser nationalizing the Suez Canal.

In a letter to his girlfriend, an IOF terrorist said:

“I am not satisfied with the amount [of people] I have already killed; we killed hundreds but for me it is not enough. At every opportunity I take revenge on them, and opportunities are not lacking, especially these days when I am among thousands of Arabs. They are under curfew, and this is a great opportunity to do anything we want to them. And I’m doing just that, and I won’t stop until I am on my way home, I swear.”

He said that in 1956, not on October 8, 2023.
