THE MASSACRE THAT WASN'T
New York Post ^ | 4/17/02

April 17, 2002 -- For days, Palestinian, U.N. and aid-group officials declared flatly that Israeli troops had perpetrated a horrendous massacre of innocent civilians at the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank.

Once outside observers were allowed into the camp, they charged, it would be clear that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's soldiers had committed a monstrous war crime that would eclipse the killing fields of Kosovo.

It's obvious to all but the most vile Jenin deniers that the IDF has a vested interest in keeping this 'discovery' to a minimum.

#10: "The only massacre I saw was to the truth in rags like The Guardian."

Please name one country, other than America, who doesn't suspect a tragedy happened in Jenin.

Well here is a Canadian who thinks
that if there was a tragedy in Jenin,
it is that some of terrorists
may have got away.

Such 'tragedies' also have been occuring in Afghanistan.

Why do you believe a group that never, ever tells anthing other than lies? You remind me of the idiots who believed what they read in Pravda during the Cold War. Most sane people do not believe pathological liars. What is so hard for you to understand about this? Are you ok?

Why the big surprise?
We're talking human debris who claim that we are treating the killers in Guantanamo brutally. Crimes against "humanity".
Right.

That's all I needed to know.

It's always a delight exposing you neocon swine to the light of truth.

Earlier in the week the PLO was screaming about "mass graves" containing thousands of civilians in Jenin.

Now, once reporters are allowed in the area, and find no mass graves, the PLO changes their story and say the bodies were taken away.

Next, when that story falls through, they'll have a different excuse, and you'll believe it.

WHERE ARE THE BODIES?

Sharon didn't want the reporters there, because he knew they'd try to screw him.

Oh yeah!
Objective reporters are allowed to roam freely in the "palestinian" areas.

It's common knowledge that if a reporter is not a muslim apologist, his life in the territories is measured in hours.
Funny thing, no reporter in any medium has mentioned that.

Neocon, Ha!, when I joined YAF in 1962, the term had not been invented, or the philosophy! Nor had it been invented when I was on the Board of Directors of Youth for Goldwater in New York. I have been acquainted with about 40% of the people who founded YAF at Bill Buckley's house in Sharon in 1960, none of whom can be called a neo-con, and some of whom fought against your intellectual forebears in WWII. Believe me, when you are on trial for your participation in genocide, I will not shed a tear.

You may question his credibility but the fact remains, no western news outlet has reported an actual body count anywhere near what the PLO claimed. On top of that the "women and children" reported is either zero or near zero.

So you can claim psychic skills (or worse believe the PLO) in determining "something awful happened" but you have zero facts to back up your claim. The only "massacre" so far has been the truth.

The question for some on this forum is, can the truth be recognized and accepted?

Sure.
We had wars before.
You probably are blissfully unaware that during the Battle of Midway, the Japanese would interrogate American downed pilots, put them in a sack alive, weigh them down and throw them overboard?
War is a pain...
People die.

When the Israelis announced that they were about to enter a building and the occupants should come out, they could have.
I assume those who didn't wanted to die.

I find it curious that with all the reports of the heavy stench of death in the air that the IDF only found 40 or so bodies....

Really, did they do measurements with their stenchometers to determine that it must have been more than 40?

Jethro doesn't necessarily believe any of this, you know, and of course his pals in the PA don't either. Even Nazi sc*mbags don't usually have that capacity for stupidity.

Encountering a critter like Jethro I find it helpful to A: look up his posting history, and B: check if he is on any of the jihadist/nazi boards.

Here's a couple of his posts grabbed at random. Anyone can make up their minds as to wether Jethro is a credible fellow who should be debated, or a malignant pustule who should be elsewhere.

The prevailing thought on the FR seems to be that anyone the Israeli's kill deserves it.

Therefore, your posting will soon be deemed the work of an anti-Semitic disruptor.

Sorry...

Alleged war crimes?

Sharon is Satan drapped in pale blue and white...

And of course from now on all the reporters will realize that the PALIs are nothing but a big lying machine

You're right a tragedy did happen. 15 IDF soldiers were killed by raghead pieces of crap.

I am getting sick or reading these items that finish with..

"even though it is not the case..the lie has already taken hold across the world.."

So what? When will there be a leader who just does what he has to do, and tell the "polls" or "opinion-makers" to go and $hit in their hats?

If people do not have enough common sense to find the truth (and it is a tough search) through all of the bull$hit being pumped out by media outlets in this day and age, we should not care about their opinions.

They could have used a few of these instead of going house to house.

You know the amusing (and sickening) part of all this is, is that there are actually folks who have said that the footage of Palestinians celebrating on 9-11 is 'stock footage' of some sort. That it never happened. In their topsy-turvy world, the Palestinians celebrating on 9-11, of which there is ample evidence, didn't happen, but the "massacre" in Jenin, of which there is no proof, did happen. Not that I believe they really believe all that mind you.

'One U.N. official told Moore, "Everybody was thinking mass graves in the way we think of Kosovo."

What mass graves? They got away with this lie, nice to see they didn't here....
