If it isn't Jenin, it's no "Massacre"
No UN Security Council emergency sessions or General Assembly resolutions. No statements from the Peace and Human Rights community. Barely any fuss at all in the blogosphere. Something must be different....

TRIPOLI, Lebanon - Under the cover of artillery barrages, dozens of Lebanese army tanks and armored carriers moved toward a Palestinian refugee camp in northern Lebanon on Friday in pursuit of Islamic militants holed up inside.
The artillery bombardment sent clouds of white smoke rising out of the Nahr el-Bared camp where Fatah Islam militants have been holed up in a 13-day siege by the Lebanese army. The shelling also ignited fires in the camp that spewed black smoke. The militants have barricaded themselves in residential neighborhoods of narrow, winding streets and apartment buildings.
About 50 armored carriers, battle tanks and military vehicles from elite units massed at the northern edge of the camp and drove toward the forwardmost positions, according to APTN television crew at the scene.
