	The Ghosts of Sabra, and Other Massacres \|\| Editorials \|\| CGGL.org
		The 1982 massacre at Sabra and Shatila is commonly, and for good reasons, believed to be the work product of Lebanese Forces/Phalange militia thugs commanded by Elias Hobeika, who was the LF intelligence chief with an enhanced authority after the assassination of the LF founder and Lebanese president-elect Bashir Jumayel.
		The 1982 massacre at Sabra and Shatila was not the only one in the sorrowful events of the seventies and eighties that turned Lebanon from a free country into a satellite of a totalitarian regime.
		The ghosts of Sabra and the other massacres, complete with the spirits of their innocent victims, that count in the tens of thousands, will continue to haunt Lebanon and the international consciousness until the criminals are duly charged, apprehended, tried, and if found guilty, appropriately sentenced.

	Karantina Massacre at AllExperts
		Karantina was a strategically situated slum district in Beirut controlled by forces from the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), but inhabited mainly by Kurds and Armenians, as well as some Lebanese and Palestinian Muslims.
		Karantina was overrun by Christian militias with Syrian backing, and a large number of civilians massacred.
		The massacre is often cited as a motive behind the Palestinian-led massacres in Damour, and together, the two atrocities prompted many Muslims and Christians to flee their home areas in Beirut to relocate in areas held by their own sects.

		On December 16, 1982 the United Nations General Assembly condemned the massacre and declared it to be an act of genocide.

		The massacre followed that by the Phalangists of the Palestinian inhabitants of Karantina on 18 January 1976, in which an estimated one thousand [1] civilians were killed.
		Among the killed were family members of Elie Hobeika, and his fiancé.[5] Following the Tel al-Zaatar Massacre later the same year, the PLO resettled surviving Palestinian refugees in Damour.
		According to Thomas L. Friedman, the Phalangist Damouri Brigade which carried out the Sabra and Shatila Massacre during the 1982 Lebanon War sought revenge not only for the assassination of Bashir Gemayel, but also for what he describes as past tribal killings of their own people by Palestinians including those at Damour [7] [8].

	Ariel Sharon By Robert Fisk
		Before the massacres of 1982, Philip Habib was President Reagan's special representative, his envoy to Beirut increasingly horrified by the ferocity of Sharon's assault on the city.

	CAMERA: Fisk Warps the Facts
		The preface to the piece begins: "Israel's Prime Minister was a ruthless military commander responsible for one of the most shocking war crimes of the 20th century, argues Robert Fisk." This dubious contention is reinforced in the article by a series of unfounded and distorted allegations.
		In the words of the Kahan report, it is "a minister's responsibility for the shortcomings and failures of the apparatus he heads and for which he should not be charged with any personal responsibility." Personal responsibility, on the other hand, indicates that the minister had made a mistake.
		In the middle decades of the century alone, a deluge of massacres–the mass murder of Jews in Odessa, Ninth Fort, Rumbula, Lvov, Pinsk and Bessarabia during the Holocaust, of Christians in Poland, of Chinese in Nanjing, to name only a few–dwarfed the casualty count at the Lebanese refugee camps.

	Re: To O.T it or not to O.T it?
		Apparently, the Sabra and Shatila massacres were carried in revenge for the Damour massacre.
		The Damour massacre was apparently carried out in retaliation for the tal al-za@tar, karantina, and nab@a massacres carried out earlier in the war.
		The tal al-za@tar, karantina, and nab@a massacres were carried out in retaliation for other massacres carried out earlier in Lebanon's history, which are related to other massacres, which are also related to other massacres, and so on, dating back to dawn of history.

	The Deep Hypocrisy In Nitpicking Arab Massacres
		To begin with, massacres committed by Palestinian militias (Damour, Chekka, and others) have been all but forgotten; the Lebanese Christian victims of these outrages are alone in commemorating them.
		But there is another twist to the macabre legacy of Civil War crimes, for even those massacres in which Palestinians fell victim to Christian militias (Karantina, Tell al-Zaatar) have been deliberately ignored in favor of focusing all attention on Sabra and Shatila.
		A massacre is a massacre, whether it is perpetrated by Palestinians or Israelis, Shiites or Sunnis, Kurds or Arabs.

		Then came the hideous slaughter in two quarters of West Beirut: Maslakh, where Kurds and Palestininas lived, and Karantina, where the homes of 10,000 people were razed to the ground as right-wing Christian militia 'cleansed' the city of a few thousand of its most vulnerable and impoverished inhabitants.
		Those who escaped the massacre fled to the beaches of south Beirut, to blocks of flats along the shore which were being abandoned by the Maronites as the country began to divide into north and south.
		Unlike Karantina and Maslakh it was heavily defended, and came under siege in the spring of 1976.

	Islamists 'Palestinians' massacre Christians Damour led to the killing Sabra Shatila - SciForums.com
		You might have only heared about the massacre at Sabra Shatila through a pro "Palestinian" propagandist that have one, and nothing but one issue, no, nothing that has to with justice whatsoever, but to persecute Israel and denegrate it.
		It is only natural that they blame ANYTHING on the Zionists, even though the only connection to the case where Arab christians killed the Arab Palestinians in Sabra Shatila is the "charge" that Sharon did not prevent the Arab Christians from doing that...
		Truth is however, that not much is known what proceeded it, the Damour Massacre is almost not talked about, it was one of the major reasons why the Arab Christians in Lebanon decided the had enough with the "Palestinian" continuing crimes in coordination with Syria's occupying forces, in their country.

		Another effect of the massacres was to bring in Yassir Arafat's well-armed Fatah and thereby the PLO on the side of the LNM, as Palestinian sentiment was by now completely hostile to the Lebanese Christian forces.
		In June, 1976, with fighting throughout the country and the Maronites on the verge of defeat, President Suleiman Frangieh called for Syrian intervention, on the grounds that the port of Beirut would be closed and that is how Syria received a large portion of their goods.
		The massacres made the headlines all over the world, and calls were heard for the international community to assume responsibility for stabilizing Lebanon.

		The Christian-populated towns, Damour and Jiyeh, were massacred after a week of siege and intensive shelling on January 20, 1976 by a combined force of leftwing militia fighters, Palestinian terrorists and PLA forces (2,000 Palestine Liberation Army had entered Lebanon from Syria in Late December 1975).
		This precedes the Damour massacre and many put this forward this as the reason behind the harshness of the PLO's response (over 1000 civilians were killed at Karantina).
		Let's look at some examples: the account is frequently embellished with needless emotive comments like 'even the orange trees were stripped of their fruit in the citrus groves' and 'except one old man who said he could not walk and would prefer to die in front of his own house'.
