Because it was skeptical about the willingness and capability of the Lebanese Army to implement the Shtawrah Accord by displacing the PLO in southern Lebanon and securing the border area, in 1977 Israel started to equip and fund a renegade Christian remnant of the Lebanese Army led by Major Saad Haddad.
Haddad's force, which became known as The Free Lebanon Army, and later as the South Lebanon Army (SLA), grew to a strength of about 3,000 men and was allied closely with Israel.
Haddad eventually proclaimed the enclave he controlled "Free Lebanon." The insulation provided by this buffer area permitted Israel to open up its border with Lebanon.

Yet the Phalange had been closer political allies than Haddad: they had been trained by the Israelis, armed with the same weapons and performed the same services for Israel in Beirut, the Chouf and the Metn regions as Haddad did in the south.

There is also a sizable body of circumstantial evidence suggesting that members of the militia of Maj. Saad Haddad, armed and trained by Israel, were also at the airport and may also have moved up to the staging area, despite Israeli denials that they were involved in any way in the slayings.
Finally, Major Haddad said in an interview with The Times of London that some of his men "may have been serving with other forces in Beirut" when the massacre in the camps ocurred.
What is not clear is whether the Haddad militiamen could have reached the camps - far from their normal area of operations in the south along the Israeli border - without the knowledge or active cooperation of the Israelis.

The PLO would be routed, southern Lebanon would be stabilized and placed mostly under the temporary stewardship of Major Saad Haddad and his South Lebanon Army.
Haddad, a Christian, would cooperate with Gemayel and before long the country of Lebanon would once again coalesce into a functioning independent entity at peace with Israel.
Major Haddad's power shrank into a very narrow fiefdom, and he died of cancer not long afterward.

 From the Writings of Raya Dunayevskaya: Marxist-Humanist Archives: April 2002
Even that Great Delusion-which matches the Grand Illusion that an insignificant puppet like Haddad could be installed as ruler over the whole of Lebanon-did not seem to exhaust General Sharon's schema for the Middle East.
Just as the Polish masses never forgave Russia during World War II for staying outside the gates of Warsaw in 1944, waiting for the Nazis to complete their destruction before they moved in to "save" them, so the masses of the world will never forgive Begin's Israel for the Lebanon massacre.

It will also have official sanction to carry out intelligence operations, and Israel's Lebanese protege Major Saad Haddad will be permitted to continue wielding considerable power in the south, despite the fact that the Lebanese government had regarded him as a traitor for years.
What is at issue is whether the U.S. should continue giving subsidies to Israel when it uses those subsidies to carry out actions which are not in the U.S. interest.

With such restraint, Hizbullah disproved all forecasts that "the Israeli agents" would be "slaughtered in their beds." Even the goalers at the notorious Khiam prison were permitted to escape to Israel.
