"It is impossible to estimate how many died at Jenin - the first thing the Israelis did was to ship out as many bodies as they could so the actual death- count could not be established."

Really? Any proof to substantiate that Christmas - or is this just some more of your made up shit, that only you are aware of - the thing that sort of pisses all over your claim is the following:

1: "The UN report to the Secretary General noted "Palestinians had claimed that between 400 and 500 people had been killed, fighters and civilians together. They {The Palestinians} had also claimed a number of summary executions and the transfer of corpses to an unknown place outside the city of Jenin. The number of Palestinian fatalities, on the basis of bodies recovered to date, in Jenin and the refugee camp in this military operation can be estimated at around 55 (27 of whom were combatants)."

The claim picked out in bold in the above passage was bollocks because:

3: "Amnesty International's report concluded "No matter whose figures one accepts, "there was no massacre." Amnesty's report specifically observed that "after the IDF temporarily withdrew from Jenin refugee camp on April 17, UNRWA set up teams to use the census lists to account for all the Palestinians (some 14,000) believed to be resident of the camp on April 3, 2002. WITHIN FIVE WEEKS ALL BUT ONE OF THE RESIDENTS WAS ACCOUNTED FOR."

Now then Christmas if all but one of the residents were accounted for by UNRWA who were all these hundreds of civilians that the IDF was supposed to have killed and shipped out to some unknown location? Or were the Palestinians lying? I somehow think given their track record that it was the latter.
