Arab stabbed a Jewish baby in the forehead

On August 24th 1929, Arabs slaughtered 67 Jews in Hebron and wounded many tens of them. The massacre started a day before in Jerusalem and continued in Hebron. This was after the Arab leaders in Hebron promised the Jewish leader that the Jews of Hebron would not be harmed. Shlomo Slonim was a one-year old baby at that time; the Arabs murdered his parents and stabbed him in the forehead. He tells about it in the video. Other Jews were also stabbed in their heads and their hands were cut off.

Note that in 1929, Jews lived in Hebron (after this incident they moved out until 1968), and that Arabs attacked and murdered Jews even though there was no 'occupation' and no Jewish state.

The tape was broadcast on June 4, 2007.
