I don't trust Danny Dayan for one split second.
I dont trust the author either. Look at this comment at the end, talks about the author of this article, Zvika Krieger.
Zvika Krieger is an extreme leftist who doesn't understand the murderous mentality of the Arabs.
Just google Palmediawatch to learn more.
Krieger longs for the days of Auschwitz, the Chmielnicki massacres, the pogroms of the Russian pale of settlement, the Farhoud of Bagdad in 1941, the Inquisition, and the murder of the Jews in Hebron in 29. He longs for Jewish victimization so he can feel good among European antisemites.
