Only 6 years too late – Guardian editor apologizes for Jenin coverage

Following Operation Defensive Shield in 2002, the Guardian’s editorial commented in its April 17 edition that: “Israel’s actions in Jenin were every bit as repellent as Osama Bin Laden’s attack on New York on September 11.”“I take full responsibility for the misjudgment,” Rusbridger said.

This got a flying pig alert at LGF. It’s deserved, and the apology is a nice gesture, but the “Jenin massacre” is already an established part of the narrative, just like the al Dura fraud is. Some things you just can’t retract.
