'No Massacre!'

Oh Andrea Mitchell, where art thou? While the blither dribbles out of the news channels across America today polling whether or not people wish to see the Robert Blake murder trial televised, little attention is being paid to a rather significant development in the current crisis in Israel and the middle east. Late last week as Israeli forces began to move back from their completed work in Jenin and Ramalah, U.N groups, the Red Cross and others, who were protesting lack of access to the embattled areas, finally had their chance.

Pro-palestinian voices throughout the areas in recent weeks had proclaimed that Israel had been indiscriminate in their search for terrorists. Claims were made that anywhere from 500 to "thousands" of palestinians had been "mowed down." The problem was, it wasn't true. As cable news is still putting on Palestinian propogandists who wish to use their air time to rant against Israeli occupation or settlement developments, none of them are able to cop the numbers of deaths or victims that many of America's left leaning "journalists" were spouting as recently as a week ago. On Friday, The chief U.N. Inspector in the region, while holding his press conference, stated in no uncertain terms: "No evidence of a massacre in either Jenin or Ramalah!" How could this be, how could American press have been so far off in their statements of simple fact? Primarily because of they didn't check their facts. Today cable news outlets are reporting that indeed actual numbers of casualties in the Jenin camp numbered in the dozens - not the hundreds - and in fact residents of Jenin were strongly encouraged to leave before the introduction of the heaviest machinery and artillery brought into the region.

True, deaths did occur, but not nearly on the scale that Ms. Mitchell, the U.N., and other folks who never had any actual evidence of a massacre, proclaimed. Palestinians protested loudly, "The accusations that we would strap bombs to corpses is ludicrous..." Really? Is it ludcrious to think that if you would strap a bomb to your own son or daughter, if you would change the rules of your own religion to carry out suicide bombings amongst innocent civilians (non-combatants), that you wouldn't be inclined to strap explosives to bodies whose lives had already departed? Call me crazy but I don't see how that sounds "ludicrous." And what did they find when they went in to Jenin? Oh, bomb making factories, crude elements used for weapons of mass destruction, illegal artillery surplus, and yes - dozens of dead bodies strapped with explosives.

In Jenin, the buildings where knocked down because they played integral roles in propping up the terror infrastructure.

Incidentally, it also appears now to be proven false that "Israel went in and knocked down every house in Jenin." There is no evidence of massive purposeful destruction of wide scale in any of the towns where Israel has been in or out of.

They are looking for terrorists, they are destroying the terrorist infrastructure, and they are greatly diminishing the capacity of terrorists to continue, in the short run, any suicide bombing campaigns. As I said in a column two weeks ago, Arafat and Hussein must be removed. Arafat's direct encouragement of the suicide attacks, coupled with Hussiens offers of monetary reimbursement following the suicides, has proven to be a deadly combination for innocent people living in the region.

Sharon has been no squeaky clean guy himself in days past, but on this score - and at this time - it appears he is using far more deliberation than his enemies would like to say he is.
