There will be a chanel 4 Dispatches program on Monday 13th May,
and one could join the live discussions on the
internet.http://www.channel4.co.uk/news/microsites/D/Dispatches/state_of_ter
ror/index.html

It will hopefully once and for all show anyone who cares for justice see the
brutality of the Zionist dogs
and the war crimes they committed against the Palestinian society.
It infuriates me so much to see seemingly intelligent, unbiased people on
western media
categorically deny that what happened in Jenin was not a massacre as just
only 56 people were killed
(only 21 of which were brave Palestinians soldiers/freedom fighters I may
add), and yet call the
killing of 23 Israelis the "Passover Massacre". Now people tell me, what
makes one a massacre
and the other not?? Why does the world has to constantly move the goal post
when it comes to the poor Palestinians??

Dispatches: State of Terror


Monday 13th May, 9pm

There will be a chat with Deborah Davies straight after the show. Click here

The Israeli army have just concluded a ferocious military campaign against
Palestinian fighters operating in the West Bank refugee camp of Jenin, one
of the main operating bases for Palestinian suicide bombers. Twenty three
Israeli soldiers died. No one yet knows how many Palestinians died.

What happened when Israel forces entered the camp? Was it a
counter-terrorist operation in which civilians were protected? Or did it
become an indiscriminate act of revenge for the terrible suicide bombings
that Israel has had to endure?

Dispatches reporter Deborah Davies was one of the first journalists to enter
the camp. The central area had been bulldozed flat. Underneath the rubble
corpses rotted.

Amid the devastation she has gathered harrowing eyewitness testimony - of
civilians taken prisoner by the Israeli army, and then shot in cold blood;
of nurses and ambulance drivers killed trying to help the wounded; of
ambulances strafed with bullets and prevented from reaching the wounded; of
civilians cut down in the crossfire as families desperately tried to escape
the army bulldozers that demolished their homes.

Deborah also meets a woman who risked her life to film secretly as Israeli
soldiers rounded up the men of Jenin and marched them half-naked out of the
town behind the barrel of a tank.

Dispatches was the only camera crew to film the work of Amnesty
International pathologist Professor Derrick Pounder, who entered Jenin while
Israeli forces were still in the camp. His conclusions are disturbing.
Amnesty has now called for a War Crimes Inquiry.

But what did happen when the Israelis entered Jenin?
