Scenes from the Uprising
Noam Chomsky
June 1988
Z Magazine, July 1988


In 1982, a delegation of Labor Alignment leaders, including noted hawks,
presented to Prime Minister Menahem Begin detailed accounts of terrorist acts
against Arabs, including the collective punishment in Halhul: "The men were
taken from their houses beginning at midnight, in pajamas, in the cold. The
notables and other men were concentrated in the square of the mosque and held
there until morning. Meanwhile men of the Border Guards broke into houses,
beating people with shouts and curses. During the many hours that hundreds of
people were kept in the mosque square, they were ordered to urinate and
excrete on one another and also to sing Hatikva [the Israeli national anthem]
and to call out `Long Live the State of Israel.' Several times people were
beaten and ordered to crawl on the ground. Some were even ordered to lick the
earth. At the same time four trucks were commandeered and at daybreak, the
inhabitants were loaded on the trucks, about 100 in each truck, and taken
like sheep to the Administration headquarters in Hebron. On Holocaust Day,
...the people who were arrested were ordered to write numbers on their hands
with their own hands, in memory of the Jews in the extermination camps."
