Quite a bit of video coverage on the BBC news.
Israelis said they bulldozed half the town as it was booby trapped.


Look at Israel's history since '47. Look at the current conflict. Do • you

plan to drink sweet tea, hand out fruit and talk peace? Really?

The Palestinian's agree it (Jenin) was heavily defended. I think it is • their
right to do this.  The Geneva convention allows subjugated peoples to • use
"all available means including armed struggle" to defend themselves.
Remember, Israel is a belligerent power with a shocking human rights • record.


I wasn't making any judgement.
Just saying what was reported on the BBC news.
