Jenin, Jenin: what Wikipedia removed
Jenin, Jenin is a 2002 documentary by Mohammed Bakri built around Palestinian accounts of the April 2002 Battle of Jenin. Through 2010 the opening described the film as covering a clash “which drew Palestinian accounts of a ‘Jenin massacre’.” Today the opening calls it simply the “Battle of Jenin” and carries neither that phrase nor the word massacre, though massacre survives five times in the body. A reader today does not learn that the film is tied to what Wikipedia once called Palestinian accounts of a “Jenin massacre.”
The word “massacre” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2010. Today the opening carries none; the body carries 5. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
