The true crime of Jenin camp is this act of physical erasure. It is covered by Article 147 of the Fourth Geneva Convention in its prohibition on 'the extensive destruction or unlawful appropri ation of property, not justified by military necessity committed either unlawfully or wantonly.'

When the Sabras take precautions NOT to kill civilians, their "crime" is detroying property. Does this guy play Philadelphia lawyer in busting the "Palis'" balls? I didn't think so.

Article 147 mentions other crimes that may be applicable to Jenin: the alleged taking of hostages for human shields by the Israelis;

Oh. So the Jewish sioldiers are obliged to get blown up by boobytraps?

... the same army's refusal of access for humanitarian and emergency medical assistance

Sure, they're supposed to permit Red Crescent bomb runs!

... and the deliberate targeting of civilians, particularly by Israeli snipers.

Now, he sneaks in the blood libel! He has no evidence of this claim. Indeed, he had earlier suggested that it was phony (just another "Pali" lie). This guy is one sophisticated propagandist!

But it is the sheer scale of the destruction that Israel will most likely have to answer for.

He said from the outset, that it was no massacre, but now he's trying to bring the notion back in, through the back door.

Not to worry. He'll backpedal away from this version in tomorrow's edition.

"He said from the outset, that it was no massacre, but now he's trying to bring the notion back in, through the back door."

BINGO This is just how the leftist operate. It reminds me of the sailor who kept a diary, and one morning he wrote "The captain is sober today" and yet the captian never drank a single drop of alcohol in his life. There are many ways to smear someone or smear a nation without actually lieing. Kinda reminds me of Al Gore's political hacks when they kept repeating "We want all the votes counted" and convieniently forgeting to mention that Al Gore sent lawyers to all 67 counties in Florida to discard military ballots and the only votes they wanted counted were those in counties where they could gain the most.
