A fresh attempt to ban a documentary film about the Israeli army's invasion of a West Bank refugee camp has failed.

Israel's film board banned "Jenin" from being shown in the Jewish state last year, saying it presented a distorted version of events in Jenin.

But on Monday Israel's High Court reinstated a ruling which overturned the ban, saying the film board did not have "a monopoly over truth".

<when will it be shown here?>

1. Great news. I hate censorship.

"They did not have a monopoly over truth". It's music to my ears.

2. Excellent news.

Israel must maintain its strength through freedom, not cowtow to police state tactics that will undermine its credibility.
