Your title is utterly misleading and dishonest. He didn't say there was no massacre in Jenin. Here is the relevant passage:

Asked about the allegations of a massacre, Mardawi said, "By my own standard, what happened there was a massacre. But if you are asking, 'Did I see tens of people killed?' Frankly, no. In my group, we were in an area with no other people. Three fighters with me were killed. Later when we started to move from place to place, we saw destroyed houses and could smell bodies."

I'm dissappointed that the Israelis let some of the pali terrorists escaped. I hope they'll be more thourough next time.

The relevant statement, in case you missed it, is this - "'Did I see tens of people killed?' Frankly, no."

Bulldozing houses does not a massacre make and no amount of lies told by Palestinians will change this. Where are the mass graves even the UN can't find? Where are the thousands of bodies nobody seems to be able to find (that is until Arafat has the chance to plant them). Fighters killed, that's a part of war. Don't play the game unless you're willing to die. Fighters being killed does not a massacre make.

Of course there was a massacre, 3oh7. We believe you. Your whole world would crumble if there wasn't.

Let's see, a combatant in a very small region states declaratively that he did not see even TENS of bodies, but concedes he lost three of his squad, and you still want to persist with the myth there was a massacre?

Amazing. Not surprising, but amazing.
