And the Palestinians were saying it was a genocide. It was part and parcel of the rhetoric and propaganda.

Any source on this? While googling for Jenin genocide will bring up a smattering of links, most of them don’t seem either prominent or Palestinian. While I’m sure you can find some Palestinians uncritically calling it a genocide, I doubt it was a “part and parcel” of rhetoric and propaganda (as opposed to using the term “massacre”), and if so, it is not correct to ascribe it to “the Palestinians” - no more correct than ascribing birtherism to “the Americans”.

I mean, you won’t find the term used even in Wiki entry, nor in articles like this and this, that describe the Palestinian message.

Again, as far as I remember, the primary claim about it was that it was a massacre, not that it was a genocide. If I’m wrong, I will gladly stand corrected.
