UN grudgingly admits the truth

The United Nations painfully, grudgingly admits there was no massacre in Jenin. But of course they still try to find equal blame for Israel.

“Palestinian groups are alleged to have widely booby-trapped civilian homes, acts targeted at IDF personnel but also putting civilians in danger,” the report adds.

“IDF is reported to have used bulldozers, tank shelling and rocket firing, at times from helicopters, in populated areas.”

Think maybe the bulldozers and helicopters were used because the civilian homes were booby-trapped?

The report also says curfews and closures increased civilian hardship, leaving one in five Palestinians in Jenin short of food.

Think maybe the curfews and closures were necessary because the camp was infested with terrorists?

It reports “cases of Israeli forces not respecting the neutrality of medical and humanitarian workers and attacking ambulances”.

Think maybe the “neutrality” of ambulances wasn’t respected because Palestinians use them to smuggle suicide bombers?

Israel did not contribute to the report, which was compiled using information from UN officials, the Palestinians, private relief organisations and foreign governments.

Who no doubt tried with every fiber of their beings to find Israel guilty of something. But couldn’t.

Some Arab officials hoped the report would serve as a basis for charging Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon with war crimes, but it did not provide any such evidence.

I love it. This is how the BBC concludes their report—after citing numerous examples of Palestinian war crimes. Poor Arabs, humiliated by the Jews again. This is the sound of the world’s tiniest woman in an abaya, ululating just for them.
