SLM3, I am not going to respond to you anymore after this. I produced a link to a completely impartial source, PBS, that explained that the PLO had not pulled out of Lebanon at the time of Sabra and Chatila, as you postulated. You have not addressed the fact that in the case against Time magazine, that their assertion that Sharon bore direct responsibility was false. I did not use the Israeli inquiry as my only evidence. Your tone in towards me in your posts has made the discussion very unpleasant.
I did respond to your post with sources supposedly linking Sharon to the massacre. You must have missed it. From the sources you provided it is apparent that Sharon approved the Phalangist operation. I have never asserted or heard otherwise. The massacre was not their mission. Their mission was to clear the PLO out of the camps. Instead, they engaged in a massacre, a revenge killing for the PLO assassination of the newly elected Lebanese president. You didn't respond to my previous post about this.
I will close with a question: Do you see any hypocrisy or political intrigue in the fact that no one has tried ever bring a lawsuit against the Phalangists, the party with direct responsibility, themselves? Why do you think this is? Why, in your perception, haven't investigations or lawsuits been launched against the Jordanian government for it's massacre of thousands of Palestinians in "Black September", or the Syrians for their brutal ocupation of Lebanon? What about Iraq, before the war? How about Yasser Arafat, who is responsible for the murder of more Jews than anyone since Hitler? Goodnight.
