1/ The #HebronMassacre happened 90 years ago on Shabbat Ekev. This was no "ordinary" massacre, like maybe 10 minutes of #MassShootings leaving 67 dead. Each one was horribly tortured in unimaginable ways.
In this thread, I bring the GRAPHIC DETAILS, because the world should know.
2/ All the details were published at the time in the following newspapers: Haaretz Sep. 1st ; Doar Hayom Sep. 2nd +Sep. 6th, 1929 and so on on other papers like Davar.
More details were published later on in September when the victims were taken out of their graves to check them.
3/ Nobody escaped the #Arab terrorists cruelty. They used knives, daggers, clubs, swords. Starting with the babies, they cut their heads, gave them to their mothers until they were murdered too.
The 9 months old Abushdid baby was among them.
4/ 2 years old Menachem Segal wasn't just beheaded. They tortured him by stabbing his legs many times before finally killing him.
5/ Before the massacre was started, the Jews were ordered by the Brits to hide at home, while the British cops refusing to provide security.
When the first victim of Shabbat (there was one on Friday) was slaughtered, the cops just watched and did nothing. (Arab cops, I think).
Some Yeshivah students ran to the cops, held their horses necks, begged for help. The cops just pushed them to the arms of their murderers.
One of them, Dov Haikl, was cut for 15 minutes piece by piece in front of the governor's eyes. After each piece they asked "does it hurt?"
7/ Many women were raped and tortured before they were murdered. One girl was raped in front of her parents eyes by 15 people. They they murdered her father.
Another girl was "saved" from rape after begging them. They cut her and took her intestines out. Her sister witnessed it.
8/ Esther Gershon's breasts were cut and barely hand to her. They raped her and stabbed her in many places before she died.
Hana Slonim was raped and full of stabbings.
9/ They targeted the men's private parts as well. 5 yeshivah students were found without their penises. The same was done to Rabbi Tzvi Drabkin (a relative of mine) and to 70 yeas old Rabbi Meir Kastel.
10/ Multiple people were found without their eyes. The murders stabbed their eyes when they were still alive.
11/ The head of Mr. Noah Imerman, the baker, was put on the primus stove. They burned him alive, and then stabbed his heart.
12/ Yitzchak Abu Hana's abodomin was cut open. His head was smashed.
Yaakov Weiss intestines were outside, and he was stabbed many times.
13/ There are more horrible details, but I'm stopping here because I'm about to throw out. I did this thread because I want you to know: there's a line drawn from this massacre to today's #Palestinian terror. It was never about the land. It's always about Jew-hatred.
14/ If you look at the details of the Massacre in Itamar on 2011, or how @kishkushkay was butchered - she's lucky to be alive but her friend wasn't that lucky - you see the same blood-lust, the same blind hatred. We deal with people who wouldn't rest as long as there are Jews.
@kishkushkay 15/ The incitement to this array of murders, not just in #Hebron but in Jerusalem and other places as well, came from the Nazi lover and guide, the Jerusalem Mufti Haj el-Amin el-Hussieni.
In Ajur, an Arab village, they even demanded that the government would blame him for it.
16/ The false argument used by the Mufti was the same used today to incite against Jews: "The #Jews are storming #AlAqsa (Temple Mount)".
It was a lie then, it's still a lie, but since when do haters care about facts? They needed an excuse and they got it.
