The press has been screaming about Jenin, trying to make us believe the entire city was devastated,

The press was denied access.

The press has been screaming

That is typical of the press. The press is full of bias. Almost every account you read on either side has a bias or slant. Given all of its flaws we are far better off with it than without it. Israel should not have denied access to the press. By itself that is enough to raise suspicion.

Hardly what one would expect from a "massacre"...

I doubt there was any massacre as in mass killing of civilians. However it does not follow that war crimes were not committed....possibly killing surrendering Palestinians or denying medical care.

I can see why the Israelis are balking at the selected make-up of this UN "fact-finding" mission... It's BS and stinks of a lynch mob...

Israel should conduct its own investigation and hold its own accountable just as it demands of the Palestinians. The sooner there is balance in the ME the sooner there will be peace.
