As you think that this is supposedly all so easy for you Jom, did you ever find out the name of that Sports Stadium?

Also could you explain how it would be possible for someone to dig a mass grave with a Bulldozer in the middle of a city, under full observation of those supposed witnesses, the Lebanese Army, the Multi-National Force (US, Italian, French and British armed forces), various NGOs and aid agencies and manage to keep it "secret".

Now similar tales were broadcast about another "massacre" as I recall - place called Jenin. How many innocent Palestinian "civilians" were the Israelis supposed to have "massacred" there Jom?

"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 had also claimed a number of summary executions and the transfer of corpses to an unknown place outside the city of Jenin."

Then the truth came out:

Human Rights Watch completed its report on Jenin in early May, stating "there was no massacre," but accusing the IDF of war crimes,[80] and Amnesty International's report concluded "No matter whose figures one accepts, "there was no massacre."[1] 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."[81] A BBC report later noted, "Palestinian authorities made unsubstantiated claims of a wide-scale massacre,"[15] and a reporter for The Observer opined that what happened in Jenin was not a massacre.[82]

The war crimes allegation didn't stand up either, all that happened in an area under Israel's control.

Kinda pours doubts and completely destroys any credibility on claims by the PLO and their allies - Just because they said it was so doesn't necessarily mean that that was how it was - they are not beyond lying if they think it will be to their advantage.
