The Massacre that Wasn't

I am continually amazed at the world's infinite capacity to believe Arab lies and disbelieve Jewish truths. Doesn't way much for the rest of the world.

[Hugin]

People tend to believe what they want to believe.

[Chapita]

During the Kosovo atrocity, the KLA claim weighed extremely heavily in tales from the leftist media!

[randog]

'Reality' is not in the leftist's jargon.

"One of the women told us there was no one else in the house, but when we told them to remain in the room she called out to her husband that soldiers were inside and told him to run away. They began shooting at us--soldiers in a house opposite opened fire and killed them," said Tal.

Man, that sounds like Vietnam.

Those who dislike/hate the Jews, in reality have the Father of All Liars as their Lord and Master.

I can not find this article anywhere on WSJ-Online. Please point it out to me. Yes, I have a subscription.

More "evidence" bites the dust.......

[KayEyeDoubleDee]

Is this your own work? If so, you probably did not mean to give the Wall Street Journal credit, did you? I not that Google finds a NYPost Opinion piece of the same name that does not seem to still be at the site

[Free the USA]

fyi

[hellinahandcart]

The other The Massacre That Wasn't is a different article, with the same title.

[hellinahandcart]

More "evidence" bites the dust.......

Oh yeah? They are already referring to the forensic guy's "evidence" as fact on another thread from the BBC. They're just not saying exactly what the evidence IS (2 bullet wounds). I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, these are the same people that convinced the world a few short months ago that handcuffs, blindfolds, and filter masks are horrific instruments of torture that even Hitler would not have stooped to using.

[Ronin]

Very true.

[Random Access]

British journalist are about as useful as British automotive engineers.

[VOA]

If there really was a "massacre", then I guess the Israelis must have confiscated all
cameras, camcorders, and other devices before they actually entered the camps.

Otherwise some footage or photos would have been blazed around the world for the past couple
of weeks.

(I'm not saying that some innocents may not have been shot...in fact I'd be suprised
seeing how I did see one photo in which Palestinian children where running around the
streets with realistic-looking toy guns during one of the truces.)

[Political Junkie Too]

The Palestinians are using the "Jenin Massacre" to counter the Israeli outrage at the "Passover Massacre" that triggered the military incursions in the first place.

Hard to figure who is innocent in a place where 10 year olds are bobby trapped and trained to kill as many Israelis as they can.

[CyberAnt]

And ... I believe Israel has already claimed it killed over 100 in Jenin. Considering the size of the town, that's not very many - and considering how many of the terrorists lived there, it will be a good thing if most of the killed are among that group.

You are right about the world willing to believe the Arabs and not the Jews. Well, I believe the Jews; and I always will.

How true.

Someone needs to go up to Arafat and tell him; "Why the fuss over a few dead civilians, Yasser, just pretend you had them blow themselves up."
