Gush Etzion was an area of Jewish kibbutzim / settlements in PRE-1948 Mandatory Palestine …
During the Naqba / War of Independence … the Transjordan Arab Legion (lead by / trained by a British Officer) ethnically cleansed ALL JEWS from Gush Etzion AND Jerusalem … including desecrating Jewish cemeteries and using headstones as paving stones for roads and trashing ancient synagogues
The payback is ongoing … eh?
