		Shortly afterwards, just a few months after its founding, Unit 101 was merged into the 202nd Paratroopers Brigade (Sharon eventually becoming the latter's commander), which continued to attack military targets, culminating with the attack on Qalqilyah police station in autumn 1956.

		On its own right during the first five months, and as a part of a paratroop brigade for two more years, the unit completed a series of daring raids that helped restore Israeli citizen's morale and renew the Israeli deterrent image.
		However, the unit was also criticized for initially targeting civilians as well as the Arab armies, resulting in the widely-condemned Qibya operation in Autumn 1953, in which more than 60 Jordanian civilians were killed in an attack on their village.

		The military veterans belonging to the unit, the Alexandroni Brigade, were unused to such publication.
		These were veterans of the brigade, not necessarily of the battalion that committed the massacre, although the commander of the battalion was among the prosecutors.
		On November 15, 2001 the Alexandroni veterans indeed heeded the Judge’s recommendation and published in Haaretz and Yeidto Achronot an Ed in which Katz’s apology appeared, prefaced, as the Judge demanded, by a clarification that this Ed was published by them.

	In Context: My favorite massacre myths
		After discrepancies were revealed between his interview tapes and the excerpts published in his thesis, Katz agreed to settle the case by publishing a public apology.
		I wish to clarify that, after checking and re-checking the evidence, it is clear to me now, beyond any doubt, that there is no basis whatsoever for the allegation that the Alexandroni Brigade, or any other fighting unit of the Jewish forces, committed killings of people in Tantura after the village surrendered.
		I accept as truth [only] the testimonies of those among the Alexandroni people who denied categorically the massacre, and I disassociate myself from any conclusion which can be derived from my thesis that could point to the occurrence of a massacre or the killing of defenseless or unarmed people.

		The article unleashed a storm in Israel, culminating in a 1 million shekel libel suit brought by veterans of the Alexandroni Brigade against Katz (though his research was based on taped testimonies not only of survivors but also of members of the brigade).
		Tantura itself fell within the zone of operation of the Alexandroni Brigade, one of the erstwhile Haganah's six Khish (field force) brigades (to be distinguished from its strike force, the three Palmach brigades).
		The task of capturing Tantura was assigned to the Alexandroni Brigade's 33rd Battalion.

		Along with eight other units, the Alexandroni Brigade was formed by David Ben-Gurion in February 1948 to operate in the Sharon central area.
		During the Israeli war for independence, the Alexandroni Brigade participated in a number of operations, including one that involved a diversionary attack on Wadi Ara that was designed to draw forces away from the Golani and Carmeli Brigades in May 1948.

	History's Revenge
		The salient facts are these: On May 22, 1948, the Alexandroni Brigade under the command of Bentz Pridan, was ordered by the Haganah High Command to take the Arab village of Tantura, a vital link in the coastal supply route.
		The Brigade's survivors, enfuriated by Katz's assertion that they had perpetrated a cold-blooded civilian massacre, filed suit to challenge his version.
		This extraordinary case - one of the first in Israeli history in which an academic thesis was challenged in a court of law - is significant for another reason: it dealt a staggering blow to the cause of post-Zionism in whose name Katz and his mentor Dr. Ilan Pappe are significant stakeholders.

		The brigade failed several times to advance towards and occupy Qalqiliya because of the steadfast resistance of Qalqiliya’s residents, who numbered 1,200 volunteers out of a population of 8,000.
		Shlomo Shamir, a general in the brigade, admitted in a telegram to Ben Gurion of the defeat and the low morale of his soldiers and officers in the face of the resistance in Qalqiliya.

		Shlomo Shamir was commander of the newly formed Israeli 7th Brigade that fought in the first two battles of Latrun (1948) and that opened the Burma road to Jerusalem.
		However, the book is poorly written and biased toward the Israelis and the 7th Brigade in particular.

		In her ruling of the same day, Judge Drora Pilpel rejected Katz's request, granted the compromise agreement the status of a judicial ruling, and thus brought the trial to a close.
		The legal arguments employed equated the agreement between Katz and the Alexandroni veterans with that of a commercial agreement in which regret is not a sufficient reason for annulment.
		However, as Dr. Ilan Pappe emphasizes (ALEF website, 24/12), the important thing is that only a few hours after signing the agreement Katz regretted his decision and realized that he was manipulated by his family lawyers.
