Deir Yassin is notorious today as the name of the Palestinian village on the edge of Jerusalem where Jewish militias led by a future Israeli prime minister, Menachem Begin, massacred more than 100 unarmed men, women and children on April 9 1948. This picture was taken in 2003, on the anniversary of the slaughter, when 81-year-old Abdul Barakat addressed a group of Jews and Palestinians about the killing of 17 of his relatives. The group met at the perimeter fence of the Kfar Saul psychiatric hospital, which was built over Deir Yassin
