- 11989 British documentary resurfaces in Tantura massacre debate●British TV show aired in 1989. For those who think it started with October 7th, and forget events like the 1948 Tantura
A British TV programme first broadcast in 1989 is being recirculated to challenge the view that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict began with the October 7th attacks. Commentators point to the 1948 Tantura massacre and earlier events as evidence the conflict has much deeper roots. The discussion invokes the Latin phrase 'ridendo castigat mores' and draws on the documentary's coverage of the contested killings during the 1948 war.
