Research objective: This research aims to
1 Writing the Palestinian novel about the massacre of the village of Al-Dawaima, which was committed by the IDF
Shedding light on the feminist narrative of massacre for massacre
Criticism of the Israeli narrative about the massacre .
Research Methodology: The oral history method will be used in this research through oral interviews with the people of the village and the villages surrounding Al-Duwayma. In addition to the reports of the committees of the United Nations and foreign consulates in Palestine during the 1948 war, the archives of the armies that participated in the war, and Israeli and Arab journalistic research and investigations.
The importance of the research :The importance of this research lies in that it tries to present the Palestinian version of the massacre in Al-Dawaima village, based on the story of the villagers and the Palestinian refugees from the surrounding villages, which have been obliterated, as the official Israeli narrative dominated, which still denies its occurrence despite the United Nations report confirming its occurrence. In this research, it gives importance to writing the history of the massacre by focusing on the gender narrative, which did not receive the required attention. For example, the villagers’ narrative denies the occurrence of rapes of women, but the Israeli historian Benny Morris, relying on the stories of the soldiers and the Israeli archive, confirms that the soldiers carried out rape.
Research problem: The process of the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories in the 1948 war was accompanied by a number of massacres committed by the Israeli military organizations (Hagana, Watzel, and Lehi), which formed a basic starting point for the Zionist movement in the process of occupying Palestine, even if the Zionist establishment recognized and condemned the Deir Yassin massacre. For example, the evidence indicates that it exploited the Deir Yassin massacre to implement its goals and objectives. Hence the Al-Dawaima massacre, which in fact constitutes one of the episodes of the bloody series against the defenseless Palestinian people. The Al-Dawayima massacre took place on October 29, 1948, when the Israeli Defense Forces killed and slaughtered a large number of the villagers, most of whom were women, children and the elderly. The main question of this research is:
What is the Palestinian version of the Al-Dawaima massacre? Sub-questions arise from that
What is the feminist account of the Al-Dawaima massacre?
What are the criticisms of the Israeli version of the massacre?
