It still comes down to this; The IDF kept any journalist out of Jenin, at gun point where necessary. The IDF would not allow medical aid to enter the camp or the evacuation of injured civilians. 50% of the bodies recovered so far are women and children. I don't believe a massacre took place i.e people lined up and shot in large numbers as in Sebrenica etc. I do believe that the IDF ran amok in Jenin after the ambush which killed 13 soldiers. Why else have the Israelis denied access to Jenin to outside media for so long? Why have the Israelis put so much effort to ensure that there would be no investigation of the events in Jenin?

50% of the bodies recovered so far are women and children. Absolutely not true - post a credible (non-Pali)source for this lie. I believe the number is 7 women & children out of 52 bodies. And who's to say that some of those 7 weren't also combatants.

Not true. How did all the world (and UK) press get in to Jenin in the first place to write their unfounded articles?

Not true. They stopped and searched Red Crescent ambulances because they are known to transport weapons and bombers. A violation of both the Red Cross charter and the Geneva Conventions. Once cleared, they were allowed to pass.
