A bill calling for Israel to officially recognize the 1956 Kafr Qasem massacre, in which 48 Arabs citizens were killed by IDF forces, failed to pass the Knesset on Wednesday. In a fiery session in the Israeli parliament, the bill was overwhelmingly rejected, with 93 voting against the bill and 12 in favor. The victims of the Kafr Qasem massacre were Arab citizens who were shot to death by soldiers from the Israel Defense Forces and Border Police because they were violating a curfew that most of them probably weren’t aware of. Among the 48 killed were six women and 13 children under age 15. On October 29, 1956, when Israel invaded the Sinai desert at the start of the military campaign coordinated with Britain and France, the government decided to impose a nighttime curfew, effective immediately, on the Arab towns situated along the border with Jordan, to the east.
