Dov Yermiya
Dov Yermiya (born c. 1914) is a former Israeli Defence Forces lieutenant-colonel. In the 1948 Arab–Israeli War he was the officer who directed the assault that ended in the conquest of Saffuriyah, and his memory of the event confirms the version of events given by the Palestinians who fled.〔Haim Bresheeth, 'The Continuity of Trauma and Struggle: Recent Cinematic Rrepresentations of the Nakba,' in Ahmad H. Sa'di, Lila Abu-Lughod, (eds.) ''Nakba: Palestine, 1948, and the claims of memory,'' Columbia University Press, 2007, pp.160-189, p.170.〕 During the 1982 Lebanon War, Yermiya was expelled from his unit for voicing public criticism of the IDF's treatment of civilians.〔Diane Chebab, 'Echoes of the Past in the Palestinian/Israeli Conflict,' in ''Social justice: A Journal of Crime, Conflict & World Order,'' Social Justice, 1990 Vol.17, No.1, p.53.〕 In his diary account of the artillery and aerial assault on the refugee camp of Ain al-Hilweh, he wrote that the quantity of bombs used to bomb the area reminded him of World War 2.〔James Ron,''Frontiers and ghettos: state violence in Serbia and Israel,'' University of California Press, 2003, p.178.〕
The following year he became famous for his account of that period in his book ''My War Diary: Lebanon June 5 -- July 1, 1982''. Published in defiance of censorship laws, it provoked, according to the publishers, 'widespread controversy when it was first published in Israel', but was ignored by western media.〔Noam Chomsky, ''Pirates and emperors, old and new: international terrorism in the real world,'' South End Press, 2002 p.189 n.24.〕 The book criticized Israeli actions during the war, and was first published in Hebrew with the title "Yoman Hamilchama Sheli". It was later translated to English and published by South End Press. The book has been given some attention by western intellectuals, such as the US writer Noam Chomsky. In 1983 he was the recipient of a Human Rights Award from the Association for Civil Rights for his work in relieving the suffering of Lebanese civilians during hostilities. The Israeli army relieved him from duty.〔Asher Kaufman, ‘Forgetting the Lebanese War? On silence, denial, and the selective remembrance of the "First” Lebanese War,' in Efrat Ben-Ze'ev, Ruth Ginio, Jay Winter (eds), ''Shadows of war: a social history of silence in the twentieth century,'' Cambridge University Press, 2010 pp.197-215, p.206 n.19.〕 According to Edward Alexander, in a chapter surveying what he calls 'Antisemitism, Israeli-style,', Yermiya is said to have made a profession of giving speeches around the world that draw on an analogy between Israel and Nazi Germany, and to have affirmed in an interview that he and his friends thought as early as 1945 that the Holocaust would "affect Jews in Israel. . . for the bad."〔Edward Alexander, ''The Jewish wars: reflections by one of the belligerents,'' SIU Press 1996, p.35.〕
In July 2009, Yermiya wrote to friends expressing his despair at the situation in Israel and Palestine, and concluding
