'The only modern sources for this information seem to be:
  1. An article by R. Barkan from the Mapam(?) newspaper Al Hamishmar, title not given, quoting a letter from eyewitness Dov Yirmiya, translated in the Journal of Palestine Studies, vol. VII, no. 4 (summer 1978), no. 28, pp. 143-145.
  2. References (to the above?) in Hadawi, Bitter Harvest, p. 89; Morris, Birth, p. 350, note 37; Chomsky, Fateful Triangle, p. 165.
  3. The above were referenced from Chomsky's article Scenes from the Uprising and in discussions on middleeastinfo.org

What is the point of listing secondary sources like that, and what is a "modern source" anyway? --Zero 00:53, 21 Feb 2004 (UTC)


That's what a References section is for; I wasn't ready to create another top-level section for it, but perhaps should have. The point is to help people strengthen a weak article by a) identifying weaknesses, and b) giving them places to begin research. +sj+ 00:56, 2004 Feb 21 (UTC)

Most of the above is discussion, it belongs in the Talk page. Chomsky is irrelevant. What does Morris' footnote say in full? --Zero 02:06, 21 Feb 2004 (UTC)

The above are cites themselves cited in Chomsky and online. Very 4th-hand info. +sj+

I have the Journal of Palestine Studies article and checked what is here against that. I'll look to see if Morris has a more direct citation of sources. --Zero 00:58, 22 Feb 2004 (UTC) (much obliged -- +sj+)
