Jenin Massacre

April 3-11, 2002: Although this massacre became controversial due to the numbers suspected killed, the fact that indiscriminate killing of innocent civilians at the hands of Israel took place in undeniable. Rather than being hundreds of deaths as suspected, the number of bodies found was at least 52 as confirmed by the United Nations. Human Rights Watch (HRW) documented the indiscriminate killing of children, women and even the wheelchair bound. HRW went further to document killings as “summary executions”. Israeli supporters dismissed this event as being a massacre due to not enough people being killed, as though there is a magic number to satisfy a massacre.
