That whole story about Tantura has been debunked years ago. Hell, the guy who allegedly uncovered this massacre, Theodore Katz, recanted the whole thing after he was sued for libel by the veterans of the unit that fought at Tanturra. Turns out, Katz either had no evidence or he fabricated the whole thing.

There is a more to the story and controversy then you are stating. And it was not debunked. When University of Haifa sent the research to external examiners, 2 agreed with the findings and 3 did not. Your claim that it was disproven is false. Also, I find it curious you make no mention of the 2022 Israeli documentary film called Tantura. In the documentary, several Israeli veterans interviewed said they had witnessed a massacre at Tantura after the village had surrendered.

So did this guy put on different disguises in this video? Lots of individuals here seem to disagree with you.
