What a sad and disgusting posting from a Zionist who can't even acknowledge the death and destruction meted out by Israel at Jenin.....a refugee camp on the illegally occupied West Bank.


The Israeli tanks met ferocious resistance as they smashed their way into the ancient souk and refugee centre that makes up the centre of Jenin.

Entrance by journalists was forbidden and many individual war crimes were committed by Israeli soldiers .It was the Israelis who first indicated that a massacre of civilians had taken place in the city.

The IDF spokesman Brig General Ron Kitrey said early in the invasion that there were "apparently hundreds " of dead.The International Red Cross and other humanitarian organisations were also kept out of Jenin and the Israelis were keen to bury the dead in a mass grave in the Jordan Valley which would dishonour the dead.

The ruined ground of the city centre were littered with the remains of ground to air missiles [made in the USA].

Two Observer journalists who entered the killing zone later said that of the 50 identifiable Palestinian dead at least half were children,women or the elderly.
One man 37 year old Saeb Feyed was mentally and physically disabled and could only move in a wheelchair.He was killed when an armoured bulldozer collapsed a house on him.There were many other individual stories of death and destruction in Jenin.

Whn does an atrocity become a massacre??

The source of the above info is Robert Fisk's brilliant book "The Great War For Civilisation ..The Conquest of the Middle East ".
