		To the Israelis, the Jenin Refugee Camp is a place crawling with terrorists and potential suicide bombers, a place where they lost 23 Israeli comrades in their latest reoccupation of the West Bank, and a place that stained the Israeli image in the eyes of the outside world.
		It is still not known how many people died in the fighting in Jenin because the Israelis have not released the names of all of the prisoners being held.
		That kid was an innocent victim of the Israeli attack on Jenin, as were many other children _ their only crime, remembering a suicide bomber, probably someone they knew who blew himself up.

		"Jenin, Jenin" purports to be a documentary on the aftermath of the Jenin battle between the Israel Defense Forces and PLO terrorists that took place in `Jenin in 2002.
		A common misrepresentation used by the Palestinians is that Jenin is a "refugee camp." It is, in fact, a city.
		That is the real goal of "Jenin, Jenin": to slander Israel in the eyes of the international community, to isolate and weaken her, and ultimately to destroy the Jewish minority in the Middle East.

		Jenin is a longtime terrorist stronghold that produced 23 suicide bombers since October 2000 and was highly fortified in preparation for an Israeli incursion.
		In stark contract to Jenin, there was not a single Palestinian casualty or any infrastructure damage in other West Bank villages which did not offer armed resistance.
		Israeli accounts of the Jenin battle emphasize the elaborate booby-trapping and constant bombings faced by the soldiers - almost all of which could have been avoided had the army relied on an air attack (a strategy that would likely have killed many more non-combatants) - and the provisions taken to avoid civilian casualties.

		For Israel, the frequent target of international criticism for its heavy-handed tactics in the Palestinian territories and particularly in the Jenin battle, the stubborn resistance being faced by US and British troops in Iraqi cities is seen as a vindication.

	EYEWITNESS JENIN: Evidence of Massacre in Jenin -Report from Friday, May 23, 2002-
		Yet, the mainstream media have declared Jenin to not be a massacre, most frequently citing a recent report by Human Rights Watch that while admitting the civilian slaughter, and the frequency of Israeli war crimes and crimes against humanity in Jenin, declared that the indiscriminate killings did not constitute a massacre.
		Messineo explained, ‘The decision to reject the apparent evidence of massacre is a political decision, a mischaracterization used to immunize Ariel Sharon, the Israeli government and its U.S. backer, from responsibility for this unconscionable and indiscriminate military attack against Palestinian civilians.
		Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who directed the Jenin massacre, has been found responsible even by the Israeli government for the 1982 massacre at the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in southern Lebanon in which up to 2,000 civilians were killed.
