Killing the Palestinian political leadership.
Killing Palestinian inciters and their financial supporters.
Killing Palestinians who acted against Jews.
Killing senior Palestinian officers and officials [in the
Mandatory system].
Damaging Palestinian transportation.
Damaging the sources of Palestinian livelihoods: water
wells, mills, etc.
Attacking nearby Palestinian villages likely to assist in
future attacks.
Attacking Palestinian clubs, coffee houses, meeting
places, etc.

Here is one eyewitness statement of what happened at Deir Yassin:
Fahim Zaydan, who was twelve years old at the time, recalled how he saw his family murdered in front of his eyes:
They took us out one after the other; shot an old man and when one of his daughters cried, she was shot too. Then they called my brother Muhammad, and shot him in front us, and when my mother yelled, bending over him – carrying my little sister Hudra in her hands, still breastfeeding her – they shot her too.
Zaydan himself was shot, too, while standing in a row of children the Jewish soldiers had lined up against a wall, which they then sprayed with bullets, ‘just for the fun of it’, before they left. He was lucky to survive his wounds.
These same Jewish terrorists blew up The King David Hotel, and even planned to blow up the House of Commons and the Foreign Office in London.
Plan Dalet managed to grab West Jerusalem for the Jewish terrorists while the British Army stood by and watched except for in Shaykh Jarrah where British troops intervened for once and saved the neighbourhood for the Palestinians living there.
Pappe writes of British inaction:
This confrontational British stance here indicates how very different the fate of many Palestinians would have been had British troops elsewhere intervened, as both the imperatives of the Mandatory charter and the terms of the UN partition resolution required them to do.
British inaction was the rule, however, as Khalidi’s frantic appeals highlight as regards the rest of the Jerusalemite neighbourhoods, especially in the western part of the city. These areas had come under repeated shelling from the first day of January and here, unlike in Shaykh Jarrah, the British played a truly diabolical role, as they disarmed the few Palestinian residents who had weapons, promising to protect the people against Jewish attacks, but then instantly reneged on that promise.
In other words, the British stood by and watched as, and in some cases assisted, the Jewish terrorists ethnically cleansed Palestine and Jerusalem.
And yes, that is the same Jerusalem that Bomber Trump just declared the capital of Israel.
SAD!
