Summary:The massacre that took place on 29th October 1956 in Kafr Qasem was not the only massacre Palestinians have experienced in their long and painful history. After the massacre, Kafr Qasem was subjected to military cordon and media prohibition, which imposed debilitating isolation after the massacre. No one was allowed in or out of the village and a tight gag order was placed on the news. 22 days after the massacre, news finally reached the world.
