quote:Op 4 augustus vielen de Duitsers België binnen. De twintigste was Leuven al bezet. De bezetting was rustig verlopen. Althans, zo leek het. Op 25 augustus ging het bericht rond dat er Engelse en Belgische soldaten onderweg zouden zijn. Dan worden op een bepaald moment - volgens Duitse soldaten - vuurpijlen afgeschoten. Meteen daarna zou er vanuit enkele huizen geschoten zijn op de Duitse troepen, zelfs vanuit hotels waar er Duitsers logeerden. De soldaten drongen die huizen binnen, schoten iedereen neer die ze gewapend vonden en staken hun huizen in brand. De onrust duurde enkele dagen, totdat de inwoners uit Leuven moesten vertrekken, waarna op 29 augustus de stad in brand werd gestoken. Grote delen rond het station en in het centrum werden in de as gelegd. Alleen het stadhuis werd beschermd. Het resultaat was bedroevend: 1081 huizen werden helemaal vernield, 209 burgers kwamen om, waaronder eenentwintig vrouwen, zes geestelijken, elf kinderen (waaronder één van zes maanden) en drie tachtigjarigen.
De Sint-Pieterskerk verloor haar dak, de kunstwerken binnen vielen ook ten prooi aan de vlammen. Eén van de ergste vernielingen was zeker die van de universiteitsbibliotheek. Naar schatting 1000 handschriften, 800 incunabelen en 300.000 boeken, verzameld doorheen de 500-jarige geschiedenis van de universiteit, gingen verloren. Deze daad leverde de Duitsers de naam van respectloze 'barbaren' op, en veroorzaakte over de gehele wereld een schok van ongeloof en woede.

Het Odessa bloedbad in 1941, tienduizenden Joden afgeslacht in enkele pakhuizen en de rest in brand gestoken op het havenplein.quote:Blaming the Jews and the communists for the massacre, the Romanian troops begin the slaughter of 5,000 Jews in Odessa, on October 23, first shooting them in groups of 30-40 or hanging them.
In the afternoon, more than 25,000 Jews were assembled and taken out to the gates of Dalnik. When they reached the gates, 50 people were moved into the trenches and shot by Lieutenant-Colonel Nicolae Deleanu himself. The Romanians were concerned that the killing would take too long a time and moved the rest of the Jews (approximately 22,000) inside four large storage buildings in which they made holes for machine guns. The doors were closed and Lieutenant-Colonel Nicolae Deleanu ordered the soldiers to fire into the buildings. In order to make sure that nobody had survived, they set the buildings on fire at 17:00 hours. The next day grenades were thrown into one of the buildings. Other Jews were herded into the harbor square, sprinkled with gasoline, and set on fire. Over 22,000 corpses were found in mass graves after the war.
Haha, grapjas, daar ging eerst een aanval aan vooraf waarbij er een strijd was tussen verdedigers en aanvallers. Het 'bloedbad' wordt zwaar overdreven wat door Palestijnse historici ook wordt erkend zie dezelfde link o.a..quote:Op donderdag 19 augustus 2010 03:00 schreef Tjechov het volgende:

Daarna werd hij gecastreerd, opengesneden en ontdaan van zijn ingewanden, welke met zijn geslachtsorgaan voor zijn ogen verbrand werden. Daarna werd het hart uit het lichaam gehaald. Tot slot werd hij onthoofd en gevierendeeld. Deze stukken werden naar alle uithoeken van het Engelse rijk gestuurd als waarschuwing niet in opstand te komen tegen het Engelse gezag. Zijn hoofd werd op een spies bij de toegang van de London Bridge geplaatst; een voor die tijd gebruikelijke methode om gezag af te dwingen.

quote:In 1387, Esfahan surrendered to the Turko-Mongol warlord Timur. Initially treated with relative mercy, the city revolted against Timur's punitive taxes by killing the tax collectors and some of Timur's soldiers. In retribution, Timur ordered the massacre of the city residents and his soldiers killed a reported 70,000 citizens. An eye-witness counted more than 28 towers, each constructed of about 1,500 heads.
quote:During the afternoon of 11 July, Israel's 89th (armored) Battalion led by Lt. Col. Moshe Dayan, moved into Lydda. Israeli historian Anita Shapira writes that the raid was launched entirely on Dayan's own initiative, without even warning his brigade commander, and was illustrative of the lack of discipline that contributed to the legend that grew around him. He had organized a column of jeeps headed by a "terrible tiger," an armored vehicle with a cannon. They launched the attack in daylight, fully exposed and using enormous firepower, before proceeding to Ramla. Kenneth Bilby, a correspondent for the New York Herald Tribune was in the city at the time. He wrote:
Moshe Dayan led a jeep commando column into the town ... with rifles, Stens, and sub-machine guns blazing. It coursed through the main streets, blasting at everything that moved ... the corpses of Arab men, women, and even children were strewn about the streets in the wake of this ruthlessly brilliant charge.
quote:One of the Israeli battalion commanders, Moshe Kalman, ordered troops to shoot at any clear target, including at anyone seen on the streets. Kelman said he had no choice; there was no chance of immediate reinforcements, and no indication of where the attacks were coming from. Israeli soldiers threw grenades into houses they suspected snipers were hiding in. Residents ran out of their homes in panic and were shot. Hundreds died.
The Israelis reported 250 Palestinians killed and an unknown number wounded. Palestinian historian Aref al-Aref places the death toll at 426.
quote:Around 4,000 male Muslim detainees had been taken to the Great Mosque the day before. There was also a smaller mosque called the Dahmash Mosque. Christian detainees had been taken either to the church or to the Greek Orthodox monastery nearby, leaving the Muslims inside the Great Mosque in fear of a massacre.
Morris writes that some of the Great Mosque detainees tried to break out, hearing the shooting in the town and fearing they were about to be killed. The IDF threw grenades and fired bazooka rockets into a mosque compound. Kadish and Sela write that it was in the smaller mosque that a firefight broke out between armed militiamen inside and Israeli soldiers outside; they say the Israelis fired an anti-tank PIAT shell into it, then stormed it, killing 30 inside. An eyewitness published a memoir in 1998 saying he had removed 95 bodies from the Dahmash Mosque, though others spoke of 600 dead. Aref al-Aref writes that 179 were killed.
quote:Lydda residents were made to walk, possibly because of their earlier resistance, or because there were no vehicles left. Whatever the reason, they walked 6–7 kilometers to Beit Nabala, then 10–12 kilometers to Barfiliya, along dusty roads in temperatures of 30–35C, carrying their young children and their portable possessions, either in carts pulled by animals, or on their backs. Possessions were slowly abandoned as people grew tired, or collapsed. "To begin with [jettisoned] utensils and furniture," one Israeli witness wrote, "and in the end, bodies of men, women, and children." After a three-day march, the refugees were picked up by the Arab Legion and driven to Ramallah.[68] Shmarya Guttman of the IDF wrote that the march made him think of the exile of Israel, or a pogrom.
Reports vary regarding how many died. Many were elderly people and young children, who died from the heat and exhaustion. Morris has written that it was a "handful and perhaps dozens," and "quite a few." He attributes a figure of 335 to Nimr al Khatib, but regards it as an exaggeration. Khalidi gives a figure of 350, citing Aref al-Aref.
quote:The Arab refugees were systematically stripped of all their belongings before they were sent on their trek to the frontier. Household belongings, stores, clothing, all had to be left behind. Father Oudeh Rantisi, who was 12 when he was expelled from Lydda, writes that he saw a man killed for refusing to hand over his money.
When we entered this gate, we saw Jewish soldiers spreading sheets on the ground and each who passed there had to place whatever they had on the ground or be killed. I remember that there was a man I knew from the Hanhan family from Lod who had just been married barely six weeks and there was with him a basket which contained money. When they asked him to place the basket on the sheet he refused—so they shot him dead before my eyes. The Israelis were rounding everyone up and searching us. People were driven from every quarter and subjected to complete and rough body searches. You can’t imagine the savagery with which people were treated. Everything was taken — watches, jewellery, wedding rings, wallets, gold. One young neighbor of ours, a man in his late twenties, not more, Amin Hanhan, had secreted some money in his shirt to care for his family on the journey. The soldier who searched him demanded that he surrender the money and he resisted. He was shot dead in front of us. One of his sisters, a young married woman, also a neighbor of our family, was present: she saw her brother shot dead before her eyes. She was so shocked that, as we made our way toward Birzeit, she died of shock, exposure, and lack of water on the way."
Heb je ooit gelezen over Vlad Ţepeș?quote:
Of je kent hem onder de naam Dracula. De redder van de Westerse beschaving en de schrik der Turken.quote:In the West, Vlad III Ţepeş has been characterized as a tyrant who took sadistic pleasure in torturing and killing his enemies. The number of his victims ranges from 40,000 to 100,000.[18] According to the German stories the number of victims he had killed was at least 80,000. In addition to the 80,000 victims mentioned he also had whole villages and fortresses destroyed and burned to the ground.[19] These numbers are most likely exaggerated.[20]
The atrocities committed by Vlad in the German stories include impaling, torturing, burning, skinning, roasting, and boiling people, feeding people the flesh of their friends or relatives, cutting off limbs, and drowning. All of these punishments mainly came from things people did that displeased Vlad the most; stealing, lying, and adulterous relations. Other methods of punishment included skinning the feet of thieves, then putting salt on them and letting goats lick off the salt. This was a way that Vlad kept his people in order and taught them that stealing would not be tolerated in his lands. No exceptions were made: he punished anyone who broke his laws, whether men or women, no matter the age, religion or social class.
