85. Oh please! Israel guilty in Jenin, did not let UN investigate

Then show me a link with proof and what the report said. I showed you a link that showed that Israel did not let the ICRC in after the conflict.

Proof, please, instead of your vague assertions. Now I have been factual. I claimed all along that the UN was not let in, and I am 100 percent correct. The ICRC works with the UN (in fact, are they part of it?) so I don't see why Israel would have let the ICRC in when they didn't let the UN in.

And further, I didn't know that the ICRC does human rights reports. If what you claim is true, show some proof.

On edit: it seems I am 100 pecent right.

The allegations came as the UN secretary general, Kofi Annan, named a fact-finding team to look into the 10 days of fighting in Jenin between the Israeli military and Palestinian militants. It will be led by the former Finnish president, Martti Ahtisaari, who will be joined by Sadako Ogata, former UN high commissioner for refugees, and Cornelio Sommaruga, the ICRC's former head.



Here's the timeline:

The ICRC plans going to team up with the UN. Koffi Annan called for an investigaion. (According to the article above.)

Resolution 1405 is passed, calling Israel to let the UN in (and also the ICRC, which was teaming up with the UN.)

Israel refuses.

The UN issues its report, clearly showing that both the UN *and* the ICRC (see post above where I quoted the report) were not let in.
