Film on Jenin Can Be Shown, Court Affirms

IN BRIEF / ISRAEL

August 31, 2004|From Times Wire Reports

Israel's Supreme Court reinstated its ruling that "Jenin, Jenin," a film Israeli censors banned over its depiction of a 2002 army assault in a West Bank refugee camp, could be screened in the Jewish state.

But the court described the documentary as a "propagandistic lie" that falsely accused Israeli soldiers of intentionally killing children, women, the disabled and the mentally ill. The offensive began after Palestinian suicide bombings.
