 Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Hadassah medical convoy massacre
The Hadassah Hospital on the Hebrew University campus on Mount Scopus, Jerusalem was connected to Jerusalem only by a narrow access road that travelled through surrounding Arab vilages, and traffic between the hospital and the city came under occasional attacks since the outbreak of hostilities a few months earlier.
Plans were made for a large convoy, carrying patients, equipment, doctors, and supllies, to travel the mile and a half from Jerusalem to the besieged hospital.
The British also attempted to stop the Haganah from mounting a rescue operation, and the eventual attempts by the Palmach (an arm of the Haganah) to rescue the convoy were unsuccessful.

 FrontPage magazine.com :: Lying about Deir Yassin by Steven Plaut
On Monday morning, April 13, 1948, an Arab mob, chanting "Deir Yassin", massacred a bus convoy of Jewish doctors and nurses who were headed to Hadassah hospital on Mount Scopus in Jerusalem.
Only recently was it revealed that some of the Hadassah nurses had found refuge in the nearby compound of the British consul, only to be turned over to Arabs by the Brits, and the Arabs proceeded to slaughter them in "revenge" for what they thought had occurred at Deir Yassin.
These are people who have never denounced Arab massacres of Jewish children, which were committed not by poorly trained irregulars in the heat of a crucial battle, but by Islamofascist terrorists awash in money and under the direct personal command of the PLO.

On April 13, 1948, Arabs set mines in the road in the Sheik Jarrah area to block a convoy of 10 vehicles -- trucks, buses and ambulances -- carrying supplies, nurses, doctors, scientists, and patients to Hadassah Hospital on Mount Scopus.
The largest Arab atrocity of the war was on May 13, 1948, the massacre of dozens of surrendering defenders, including some twenty women, at Kfar Etzion in the Etzion Bloc of settlements (Gush Etzion) just north of Hebron, in the territory allocated to the Arabs under the UN partition plan.
The Etzion Bloc had already seen a massacre in January 1947 when a Haganah platoon of 35 soldiers sent to help them with medical supplies and ammunition was massacred by hundreds of Arab militants.

 'Just World News' by Helena Cobban: Comment on Hamas wins the vote
Don't pretend Palestinians didn't massacre Jews in the 1948 war on the two occasions they got the chance.
Further, it is important to remember that the purpose of those troops being in Deir Yassin was to enforce a seige on the Jewish quarters of Jerusalem and to prevent supplies of food, water and medical supplies from getting to their inhabitants.
I maintain that Deir Yassin was a genocidal massacre of innocents, because undefended, and that Kfar Etzion was not, because it was a defended military position with a garrison.
