Beats me, but you can understand why the Israelis see it as a setup and are reluctant to let them in. Apparently, reporters on the scene at Jenin have refuted the initial massacre claims.

JDN,

The whole point of the UN investigation is to protect terrorists from future Israeli military action. Israel is correct to refuse the UN mob, just as they refused to withdraw prematurely from the West Bank.

British military expert David Holley tells the BBC why he thinks there was not a massacre in the Jenin refugee camp and why he believes Israel is right to challenge the UN fact-finding mission.

the Israeli military claims to have come close to eradicating - through arrests or deadly attacks - the entire leadership of all the main Palestinian militant groups: Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade.

The army also says it has dismantled two dozen bomb-making laboratories and seized 30 kilogrammes of explosives, as well as hundreds of illegal weapons and other militant paraphernalia, such as suicide bomb harnesses.

They could send me. I don't know diddly squat about the politics, but I could sure recognize a "massacre" if I saw one.

Very impartial.

Even if you came up with some group that everybody thought was totally impartial, what could they possibly conclude? Were civilians killed? Of course! What would the definition of a "massacre" be? 10% of all those killed were civilians?, 20 %, 60%? Who's to determine who was a civilian? The exercise would be useless and asinine!
