How can you state that something is "a matter of historical record"
If it is why has Wiki been waiting so long for someone to provide citations for the claim?
Can you put up anything that justifies your assertion and refutes Israel's version of events.

This is what you have given your support to.
I have not.

Fiske's "eye witnesses" were produced years after the event and were to enable a prosecution in Belgium.
Why did that never happen?
