I think you must have misread what I posted about the Church of the Nativity. If the below link is what you are referring to, Father Faltas said that the Palestinians were in the church. He did not say that the IDF was in the church. He did say that the IDF blew off one of the doors to the compound. I have not seen confirmation of that but I did watch on TV on the date in question the IDF putting tear gas to one of the doors of the compound, which appears to be large and complex. The compound, not the doors. I assume it was tear gas, maybe it was some kind of smoke. It was green and heavy. Message 17287246

Emotions are high, the Palestinians are everything but dispassionate, and there is a lot of misinformation. A perfect recipe for making incorrect assumptions by those who bite at the first reports before the facts can be ascertained Good points. Notes from Honest Reporting (pro-Israel media watch group) on British coverage of Jenin: The Independent, The Telegraph, and The Times of London all quote the same lone individual, 28-year-old Kamal Anis, who said that "he saw the Israeli soldiers pile 30 bodies beneath a half-wrecked house. When the pile was complete, they bulldozed the building, bringing its ruins down on the corpses. Then they flattened the area with a tank." (The Independent) Aren't reputable newspapers supposed to confirm stories like this before printing them? This is why I react to the Independent's coverage in a very skeptical way.
