The Tantura massacre took place on the night of 22–23 May 1948 during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, when around 40–200 Palestinian Arab villagers from Tantura were massacred by the Alexandroni Brigade of the newly formed Israeli Defense Force. The massacre occurred following Tantura's surrender, a village of roughly 1,500 people in 1945 located near Haifa. The victims were buried in a mass grave, which today serves as a car park for the nearby Tel Dor beach.

Oral testimonies by surviving Palestinians were met by skepticism. A corroborative 1998 thesis by an Israeli Haifa University graduate Theodore Katz, who interviewed survivors, was also met with denial. In 2022 an Israeli documentary film called Tantura, several Israeli veterans interviewed said they had witnessed a massacre at Tantura after the village had surrendered. In 2023 Forensic Architecture published its commissioned investigation of the area and concluded that there were three potential gravesites in the area of the Tel Dor beach that were connected to a massacre.

I wonder if Sir Frank Lowy founder of the giant Westfield shopping plazas in Australia is happy with his move to live in Tel Aviv now there looks like a permanent war

He was in the original British deemed terrorist group Haganah in the 40s before emigrating to Oz.

One day you're the enemy next day an ally.

Lowy was born in 1930, Czechoslovakia, and as a boy was forced to live in a ghetto in Hungary during WW2. He made his way to France in 1946, where he boarded the ship Yagur, heading for Mandatory Palestine. However, he was caught on route by the British authorities and interned in a detention camp in Cyprus. Lowy escaped and joined the Israeli paramilitary Haganah leading a Jewish insurgency against the British authorities in Palestine. Which included the terror-bombing of bridges, railways, ships, and the British H.Q. in Jerusalem's King David Hotel.
