	Sabra and Shatila Refugee Camps 1982 Massacre
		When the scale of the massacre became known and photographs of the bodies in the refugee camps began to be published in the world press, Israel was held directly responsible for the atrocity.
		It is our view that responsibility is to be imputed to the minister of defense for having disregarded the danger of acts of vengeance and bloodshed by the Phalangists against the population of the refugee camps, and having failed to take this danger into account when he decided to move the Phalangists into the camps.
		Elie Hobeika, the Phalangist leader directly responsible for carrying out the massacres (and other gruesome acts over the years) became a crucial ally of Syrian subjugation of Lebanon, and had a long career until he was killed in a massive bomb attack at his house in a Beirut suburb in January 2002.

		But above all else, Sharon was known for his role in the massacre of Palestinians at the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps--committed 20 years ago this week--during Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon.
		Because of the massacre, there was an uproar in Israel protesting the entire operation engineered by Sharon and Begin--both of whom are indicted terrorists, I should mention.
		In other words, when the Phalange committed the massacre under the protection of Sharon and his forces, the U.S. was clearly responsible, because it had guaranteed the safety of those who were left behind.

		While Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and his right wing national unity government in Israel continue their efforts aimed at delegitimizing international law, the Palestinian resistance to the Israeli occupation, and the Palestinian leadership, public debate about a possible indictment of Sharon for war crimes committed by him in the past is on the rise.
		Moreover, the call for a criminal investigation into Sharon's role in the Sabra and Shatila massacre issued by the U.S.- based human rights organization Human Rights Watch last weekend has raised hopes that the quest for justice will spread beyond the Middle East and find increasing support in Europe and the United States.
		In the meantime, Sabra and Shatila victims and survivors have had their first day in court in Belgium.

		From the roof of this six-story building, it was possible to observe the town and the camps of Sabra and Shatila clearly.

		In 1984, Israeli journalists Schiff and Ya'ari concluded their chapter on the massacre with this sobering reflection: "If there is a moral to the painful episode of Sabra and Shatila, it has yet to be acknowledged."[15] The reality of this impunity remains true to this day.

	The Case Against the Accused - A Guide for the Perplexed
		Ultimately, the Sabra and Shatila case is not simply about a specific massacre in Beirut in September 1982, it is also about the future trajectory, significance, and use of a compelling and controversial principle to halt impunity for the most horrific crimes known to humankind: that of universal jurisdiction.
		The massacre survivors had petitioned the Supreme Court to review and reverse the 26 June 2002 Appeals Court ruling that the accused had to be present on Belgian soil for an investigation and trial to go forward.
		It was lodged in the summer of 2001, just after the Sabra and Shatila case, and was bound to benefit from the 12 February Supreme Court ruling.
