The intifada was planned long before Sharon visited the Temple mount. It happens to be the holiest site in the world to jews, and the arab waqf, which controls it, has been doing "renovations" and destroying lots of priceless artifacts. Sharon was checking things out. That is about as controversial as an Italian politican walking through the vatican. The intifada was planned before that, they found evidence in PA documents. Don't be so naive. And about Sabra and Chatila, if it was so obvious there was going to be a massacre, why didn't anyone else say anything? It was carried out by the President of Lebanon's troops, in their own country. Remember in Afghanistan when the Northern Alliance was executing taliban prisoners? No one said anything, and that was happening over some time and publicized! The sabra and chatila thing happened in one afternoon. Sharon wasn't directly responsible, and frankly, I doubt even if he had known he would have let his own troops be killed to keep one group of arabs from killing some other arabs. Do you know how many inter-Arab massacres there have been? There is no moral equivalence between Sharon and Abbas. Why do you guys defend such bloodthirsty people?
