Apparently it wasnt a massacre,
but a glorious victory of the palestinian resistance

Jenin 'massacre' reduced to death toll of 56

JENIN, West Bank
Palestinian officials yesterday put the death toll at 56 in the two-week Israeli assault on Jenin, dropping claims of a massacre of 500 that had sparked demands for a U.N. investigation.

The official Palestinian body count, which is not disproportionate to the 33 Israeli soldiers killed in the incursion, was disclosed by Kadoura Mousa Kadoura, the director of Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement for the northern West Bank, after a team of four Palestinian-appointed investigators reported to him in his Jenin office.

[Two weeks ago, when European and particularly London newspapers were reporting estimates of "hundreds" massacred, Israeli sources in Washington said they expected the Palestinian toll to reach "45 to 55."]

And most of all, I do not apologize that I am unable to achieve all of these things, in only ten lines.

Nor should you in your own journal! Oh my goodness.

I may disagree with you but for goodness sake say all you want in what ever manner you want, especially in your own journal.

oh, pish tosh. If one is going to argue a point, it should be done well. He's obviously *trying* to. I'm offering tips. I'm sorry that seems to offend you.

I happen to argue my points very well, even if I do not conform to ideals of debate or even of writing. People understand my position and my point of view, for me this and my understanding their point of view, is more important than arguing the point.
