<75 dead Palestinians, one dead Israeli.

We may want to wait a bit on this count, since the source of the count, LAW, was one of the groups who was insisting that 500 people had been massacred in Jenin. Their credibility has already been established.

Eighteen, count ‘em, 18 “bomb making workshops”. How many bombs have there been? How big are these “bomb making workshops”? Wonder if they look like a kitchen table? 10 bombs found. In 18 workshops. Hmmm.

So, if it isn't a certain size or shape, it isn't a bomb workshop? So what if it's a kitchen, if it's full of plastic explosives? And the 10 bombs found--each a belt capable of destroying a store or church--were obviously the ones left behind.

"War". What a crock.



It might be a good thing there is no real war in that area. I don't think any IDF active duty personnel has ever fought against anything but a civilian. Maybe a policeman. Certainly not trained, equipped forces. Not against armor. Probably could get soft. Helicopter rocket attacks. Against "military" targets, certainly not into a civilian area. Oh, that's right, it's all civilian. Well, they are all Palestinians. Wonder if the Palestinians have the rights under the Israelis that the rats do under the Germans. Doubt it.



Yeah, the two dozen Israeli soldiers who died in Jenin slipped on banana peels. None of the Palestinians ever shoot back, and none of them ever booby trap entire sections of a town. Stop talking horseshit.

I guess all the Israelis would have to do is leave all the armored vehicles and helicopters behind, take off their uniforms, and head into the camps with machine guns blazing. By your odd definition of a combatant, they wouldn't be "soldiers" anymore, but "civilians" and so it wouldn't be a real war anymore and we could all write about something else.
