MissConstrueNew documents have surfaced revealing details about Israel's conduct during the 1948 War in which it ethnically cleansed 750,000 Palestinians from their homes.
The documents confirm Israeli leaders carried out more war crimes & premeditated massacres than previously thought.
The orders issued to soldiers "were unreservedly to shoot every Arab – hence it makes no difference whether it is a man or a woman, whether the Arab is armed or not, whether he flees or raises his hands and surrenders. If you saw an #Arab while on patrol, you are obligated to shoot him."
Another order read: "Arabs in a small number are wandering about in the [captured] villages ... the area is to be cleansed of Arabs ... every Arab who will be met with is to be annihilated."
"In Lod, hundreds of Arabs were taken into a mosque and Fiats (rockets) were fired into it."
