Oh, please. I know you enjoy pissing contests but I'm not going to give you the pleasure. This is what the report you posted said. It was false:

- Israeli troops have destroyed a door
into Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity and have battled
with Palestinians holed up in the building, one of the
priests trapped in the complex said on Thursday


This is what you said about the priest:

I am not willing to believe that Father Faltas is lying about this.

I didn't misread a thing.

Look, the point is that it is important not to jump to conclusions, about Jenin, or anything, until the facts are better established. The situation is too volatile and the actors are impassioned, a perfect recipe for misinformation and lies.

I assume it was tear gas, maybe it was some kind of smoke. It was green and heavy.

Tear gas is white and dissipates quickly. The thick green smoke is usually used for cover while troops cross an open area.

One candidate: CN gas (MACE) is yellow green.
