4. what??
Edited on Mon Jan-31-05 12:23 AM by Djinn
I don't know enough about this particular incident but know enough about the vile murdering thug that is Sharon to know it's likely to be true

do you honestly beleiev that he isn't responsible for the deaths at Sabra and Chatilla?? really

I guess you don't hold Bush accountable for anything that's happened in Iraq/Afghanistan or Gitmo then?

The Israeli Commission of Inquiry found he was unfit for public office and morally responsible for the massacres.

While the actual physical perpetrators were Phalangists - who supported them? who flew overhead lighting the camps up? who had completely surrounded the camp and set up checkpoints, who shot at those who managed to flee?

The Israeli army was the occupying force at the time and as such had the resposnibility - just imagine a modern scenario:

somewhere in Iraq some US trained Iraqi forces, are sent by the US to an area and provided with covering fire. The Iraqis slaughter a few thousand people, throwing in a bit of torture and rape for fun, do you think that maybe intelligent people would understand that the US was responsible? it's the downside to all the fun and excitement of occupying another nation.

if you really beleive that the Phalangists would do something like that without the knowledge and approval of their backers then you just havn't been paying attention.

Whatever he did or didn't do in Egypt Ariel Sharon is a war criminal and I for one will dance the happy dance when his heart finally stops supporting his blubbery frame and gives up altogether - then him and Arafat can compare notes about how many people you need to kill to get your own way
