Kfar Hoshen: what Wikipedia removed

Kfar Hoshen is an Israeli moshav built on the land of the former Palestinian village of Safsaf. The 2010 opening said the village’s residents ‘fled to Lebanon after the Safsaf massacre in October 1948, during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war.’ Today’s opening covers only the moshav’s modern geography and population, though massacre survives once in the body. A reader today does not learn that the moshav sits on the site of a Palestinian village whose residents fled after a 1948 massacre there.

The word “massacre” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2010. Today the opening carries none; the body carries 1. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.

Counts are of the opening paragraph only, the part most readers, search engines and AI training sets ever quote.

  • The sentence tying the moshav’s site to the Palestinian village of Safsaf, whose residents fled to Lebanon after the October 1948 Safsaf massacre, was cut from the opening.
