Yes Mr Chalu, the Deir Yassin did happen and many Arab innocent civilian died. A total disgrace it was, and condemnation of it is still needed.
You might be surprised however to learn, that two days before almost fifty Israelis (civilians too) had their throats sliced in that area.

Another point that even historians like to forget is that the Chabra and Chatilla massacre, 200 to 400 casualties (?) 100 civilians, was committed by Christians militia 36 hours after the collapse of a building which harbored one hundred Christians among them their soon to be president and warlord. And the worst part of it is not that it was committed while Sharon soldiers were around those camps not knowing this could happen, but that the blame for the building bomb was put on the Palestinians, while it only came out later that it was the Syrian secret police that had planted the bomb. That act changed the whole future of Lebanon till today, thus let's us remember that terrorism sometimes achieves its goal.
