Jenin surely didn't look like what I thought a refugee camp would look like. There were no tents, no outdoor campfires to stay warm or cook a few beans.

Best I can tell, it wasn't a camp at all. The "refugees" all had apartments just like everyone else on the West Bank.

It looks to me like any other city, except that it's called a "camp" for political purposes.

I wonder if I'm missing something.

I have wondered the same thing about the Jenin "refugee camp". Their housing looked better than most of what I've seen on video from Afghanistan. Jenin is a town, period.

BTW, I had also heard someone on Fox last week point out that Clinton's administration had tried to give a lot of money to Arafat and his goons in order to refurbish and update the "refugee camp" of Jenin. Arafat refused the money (according to the source, whose name escapes me at the moment). He and all of the other terrorist goons want to keep this "camp" exactly as is for political purposes.

Nope, you aren't missing anything. Other than the fact that the UN lies for a living (like the Palis, though they also kill for a living).

Yup. And if they were right-wing conservatives, they would call it a compound.
