I don't have any "buddies" in Jenin. I have spoken with Americans who were there and who witnessed some of what I described above.

The Passover bombing that you refer to was also a crime. A violation of the Geneva Conventions and an abomination. I look forward to the day when such violence ends. I also look forward to the day that acts of state terror end, such as the acts by the Israeli army in Jenin.

There is no evidence, to my knowledge, that the Passover suicide attacks were conducted by someone from the Jenin refugee camp. That aside, the action of attacking and demolishing a huge area of the camp and killing at least 55 people, half of them civilian, is collective punishment. There is no evidence that the Israeli military killed anyone there that had any connection to the bombing you mention. Furthermore, the war crimes that were committed there upon the civilian population will not make Israel any safer. In fact, much like the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan will make Americans less safe, Sharon's aggression will make Israelis less safe. Many Israelis agree with me. And the suicide bombing that I refer to, which took place after the Israeli army invaded Jenin, illustrates that.
