Deconstructing The Jenin Lies

Over at Winds of Change, Joe Katzman dissects the Palestinian propaganda over Jenin quite thoroughly.

As more and more facts come out, it looks pretty much exactly like one would expect if one sent troops in to take out terrorists in booby-trapped buildings. The other thing that is clear is how devastating the defeat was for the terrorists.

They didn't anticipate the Israeli tactics--they were hoping for much higher Israeli casualties from the booby traps and kiddie bombers. Or alternatively, much higher Palestinian casualties from overwhelming Israeli firepower, which they could then use for propaganda.

As it was, they lost many soldiers, all of their munitions, and the propaganda value is proving limited as the facts come out, and no one but the loons are still calling it a massacre of civilians.
