The world media and the British press in particular (plenty of articles if you search for Jenin massacre myth) did a terrible job demonizing Israel for things that mostly did not happen, with all the newspapers seeming to interview the same guy somehow, during the attack on Jenin that was part of the re-occupation of the West Bank.

Eight years later, since this will be brought up as a (correct) example of the media's lies against Israel, it's important (and fortunate) for those tracking the true crimes of the Israeli government that the strongest voices against the occupation never promoted this myth.
