THE MORNING STAR’S splash headline on May 18 2002 will seem all too familiar to today’s readers:  “Israeli terror haunts Jenin.”

Only last week the Star reported the death of Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, shot in the head by an Israeli sniper while she and her colleagues were covering an Israeli raid on a Palestinian refugee camp in Jenin.

The 2002 story opened: “Israeli forces raided the devastated Jenin refugee camp yesterday, snatching a number of Palestinians and destroying more houses” and went on to mention the national demonstration of solidarity with the Palestinian people taking place in London that day.
