In Operation Defensive Shield in 2002, the Israeli military was accused of conducting a massacre in Jenin, despite the fact that it lost numerous soldiers by painstakingly hunting down terrorists rather than simply leveling the place. Then the inconvenient truth emerged afterward - there had been no massacre.

But as with all such libels, the damage had already been done.

So now, in Gaza, Israel has been accused of massacring Palestinians in a fit of disproportionate violence. Ask yourself one question though - Gaza is a small area densely packed with over a million people - the IDF attacks it for three weeks, and there are less than 1,500 people killed - does that sound like a massacre?
