Above is satellite image of the Jenin "refugee camp" from after the Israeli incursion in 2002. Note the localized damage despite world outrage over the supposed death and destruction at the time. More images at Global Security, from which that one came.

Compare to what's going on in the Nahr al-Bared camp in Lebanon, where, according to reports, At least 235 people have been killed and "The camp, home to 40,000 refugees before the hostilities, has been completely destroyed and it was expected to cost hundreds of millions of dollars to rebuild."

It would be interesting to compare satellite imagery if anyone can come up with it.

Here's an Al-Jazeera report with footage from inside the camp:

The differing world and Arab/Muslim reactions to the events (no calls to boycott Lebanon yet) is difficult for those of us who live in a "Guilt Culture," where truth and what we know it to be are paramount, to fathom. Contrast with the Arab Honor/Shame Culture where appearances are what matters -- consequently people are encouraged to make as much noise as possible and pose as much as possible to create the appearance of a reality that may or may not exist.

The differences in truth between how Israelis fight wars and deal with terrorists amongst civilians and how the various Arab armies do it matter not so much as getting everyone on the same page and to say in public the same thing -- the desired political thing whether it comports with reality or not.
