The long-discredited propaganda fantasy of the ‘massacre of Jenin’ is still being told by the US Episcopal Church.

One place Rt. Rev. Jefferts Shori might want to look is her church's Web site, which is a veritable cornucopia of distortions, and in some instances outright lies, about the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Plug "Jenin" into the site's search engine (it's in the upper right-hand corner) and you will find a total of nine links, the first of which gains the reader access to an article that falsely accuses Israel of digging mass graves in Jenin to cover up "war crimes" in 2002.

Meanwhile, Sabeel is sticking to another old lie, the so-called ‘massacre of Quana’

Sabeel, a radical Palestinian NGO which has played a key role in promoting church divestment from Israel, issued a press release on August 2. It condemned Israel's operations in Lebanon, attributed the war to the creation of the Palestinian refugee problem in 1948 and the "occupation" by Israel and America of other people's land in the Middle East. The statement declares that in "the massacre in the village of Qana in the south of Lebanon on July 30th...over 60 people were killed". The figures provided by the Red Cross on July 30 stated that 28 people had been killed. Sabeel has not corrected this error.

For those who like to blame Israel for all the problems suffered by the Palestinians, here is a reminder of the truth about the situation from Dr Irene Lancaster.

Andrew White http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=Foundation+for+Reconciliation+in+the+Middle+East&meta= telephoned from Jerusalem and repeated something that is not a secret. It is impossible to have proper dialogue between Palestinians and Jews at the moment, because any Palestinian who did so would be risking his life.

That's something you won't hear from groups like Sabeel.

And now for some good news. 5,000 devout Christians march for Zionism in Jerusalem

More than 5,000 evangelical Christians, including believers from as far afield as Congo and New Zealand, marched through Jerusalem yesterday to voice their support for Zionism and the state of Israel.

This being an article by Reuters, whose notorious fauxtography has inspired derision, you have to read it carefully. It claims that Earlier this year, the Vatican's envoy in the Holy Land and bishops from three other churches launched a rare attack on the Christian Zionist movement, accusing it of promoting "racial exclusivity and perpetual war." It was not the Vatican’s envoy, but the notorious Patriarch of Jerusalem, Michel Sabbah, and attacks on the Christian Zionist movement from Christian Arabs are far from rare.
