[edit] Alexandroni Brigade per se
Is there any material on the brigade itself, apart from the details of the Teddy Katz affair? Epimetreus 20:03, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
- ditto. The paragraph should be moved to an article on Teddy Katz, with perhaps a statement indicating that the brigade had been involved in a controversy spawned by Katz, if he is the source of it. google links Katz to Ilan Pappé, and that article has lots on Katz and a link to the nonexistant article. Meanwhile the brigade is mentioned in a number of other articles. Mulp 20:00, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
In the summer of 1954, six years after the Israelis conquered the village of Tantura, I spent the summer in Kibbutz Nachsholim, which had been established on the ruins of the village less than one year after its conquest. I was then a counselor in the Youth Movement, Hanoar Ha'oved. In accordance with the custom of those days, by which older teenage members of the movement used to spend the summer months working voluntarily in a kibbutz, my group of grade 11 students had been sent to Nachsholim.
We were warmly welcomed and accommodated in the old Arab houses that dotted the shoreline of what used to be Tantura. Some of the kibbutz members, particularly bachelor males not much older than my youth movement kids, used to spend most of their evenings mingling with us. During one of these get-togethers, a girl from my group turned to one of the kibbutz members and asked about the houses in which we were living. "What are these houses?", she asked. "Who used to live here and where are these people now?"
A short silence ensued and then one of the older kibbutz members changed the subject by saying: "Lets not talk about this. It is just too complicated". A warning light was switched on at the back of my head: "Something bad has happened here". However, I didn't do anything to inquire further. I went on with my life and actually forgot the whole incident -- but the realization that something untoward had happened there lingered on.
More than forty years later, when the Teddy Katz affair began to unfold, I was immediately reminded of the incident in Nachsholim/Tantura in the summer of 1954.
Embarrassing try to cover up mass murder by attacking a student's thesis, why am I not surprised. 159.105.80.141 17:55, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
