Deir Yassin was peaceful? Were they not amongst those attacking supply convoys to Jerusalem, hoping to starve out the Jews there?
Deir Yassin was heavily armed and were vicious fighters, much more than was expected by the ragtag Jewish terrorist gangs that went there expecting to find little resistance.
What happened at Deir Yassin was horrible and was condemned by the Jewish regular forces and authorities at the time, but to describe the Arab combatants as "peaceful" is false.
Arab villiages that did not take part in attacking Jews are still there to this day. As opposed to those that took up arms against the Jews following the UN's acceptance of the partition plan, the Arabs of villiages that chose peace lived in peace. Their descendants live not in Arab or UN run prisons as "refugees" but as full citizens of the State of Israel. Today, they are 20% of the State.
Choosing peace has its benefits. Choosing war has its costs.

Jeru-salaam, -shalom & -salem from the Dudeson-country,
However, if you are only after Jihad against Eretz Israel by the means of media war after the conventional weapons were not succesful, please do not bother. I don't want to have anything to do with any holy war - wars are not holy. No matter if they are won or lost.
E.g. "...The population of Arabs under the Israeli government increased ten-fold in only 57 years. Palestinian life expectancy increased from 48 to 72 years in 1967-95. The death rate decreased by over 2/3 in 1970-90 and the Israeli medical campaigns decreased the child death rate from a level of 60 per 1000 in 1968 to 15 per 1000 in 2000 at the Westbank. (An analogous figure was 64 in Iraq, 40 in Egypt, 23 in Jordan, and 22 in Syria in 2000). During 1967-88 the amount of comprehensive schoold and second level polytechnic institutes for the Arabs was increased by 35%. During 1970-86 the proportion of Palestinian women at the West Bank and Gaza not having gone to school decreased from 67 % to 32 %. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita in West Bank and Gaza increased in 1968-1991 from 165 US dollars to 1715 dollars (compare with 1630$ in Turkey, 1440$ in Tunis, 1050$ in Jordan, 800$ in Syria, 600$ in Egypt. and 400$ in Yemen).
Before the Second Intifada, there were nearly 200 Israeli companies listed in the Nasdaq, at the Intifada the count dropped to 70. (The number is still greater than from all the European countries combined). It is said that the dollars are green since the Americans pull them down from the tree raw and fresh. The start-ups are imported straight from the garage, and scaling up of production in the "conflict hotspot" has been considered impossible. But the new Millennium has brought a change in tide.
As an example, the supranational Intel transferred the mass production of Centricon-processors to Israel, where ~20% of citizens possess university decrees (ranking 3rd in the world) but where the environment respects patents and are not plagiating every item they produce to others like the rocketting China. Intel was also offered an overall tax rate of 10%, which is about three times lower than that of US..."

Could you kindly comment, whether my details are correct in a dissident essay in:
