I mean, I think the Washington Post article is a little bit more careful than other media that came out recently about Janine. I think, you know, I was listening to a Reuters radio show and they failed to ever mention the occupation.

I think this is the most important piece of context that gets up secured in our media reporting is these cities, these refugee camps are under illegal occupation.

Many of which, by the way, lived through the 2002 massacre and bombardment of Jenin and grew up in that violence.
