G’day from a Lebanese born Australian. During the Israeli occupation my in-laws neighbours were travelling through Bhamdoun and were stopped and detained by a Phalange checkpoint. They being Druze were going to be slaughtered along with approximately 10 others. Along came an Israeli patrol, the Israeli officer asked the Phalange what was going on and the response with laughter was we have some Bulls to slaughter that being their nickname for Druze people. The Israeli officer was enraged and slapped the Phalnge leader and screamed, I am a Bull as well do you want to slaughter me as well. Both sides drew weapons and all the civilians were released and it was told to all.
So not a bad video but a few corrections: 1) IDF has admitted that their soldiers close to Shatilla and Sabra not only knew about the massacre, but some were pushing the phalangists to go back and commit more massacres. They did not report it up the chain as was IDF Protocol. 2) Begin, Sharon, and Eitan (aka Raful as he was more commonly known) were all aware of what was going on. Phalangists primary contact was Sharon so we can't really say he wasn't involved. 3) The inquiry into the massacre was limited in scope, and even they found errors on the IDF Part 4) I speak as someone who has intimate knowledge in this affair, in times of War the unspeakable happens but we need to admit mistakes and not whitewash things. Those responsible should be held to account and just because they are "Elitest" doesn't mean they should avoid prosecution.
@@TheAli2718 you're absolutely right!! And the way that the responsibility is dissipated publicly is sick... If it's not the Palestinians fault then it's the fault of the mizrahi officers who are second class and who's families are living in ghettos in israel. I'm curious; How do you think these commanders should have been held responsible? Why do you think the video is not bad when it completely blames these accountabilities away from leadership (just like pretty much all other Israeli state sponsored misinformation)?
BS. it’s just that the facts don’t suit your desirability bias. it’s ok. your crowd never takes responsibility for anything, despite that you are aware of the positive value of doing so.
Because that doesn't justify what eventually happened. While the PLO were terrorists, and committed horrific atrocities against the Maronites, that doesn't justify the horror that transpired. Can't say I blame them, though. They were angry. They had suffered much at the hands of the PLO.
The malicious entity came out of nowhere and destabilized an entire region. If it had not displaced the Palestinians, the PLO would not have existed and would not have destroyed the demographics and security of Lebanon.

So maronite Christians groups were not terrorist? Stop your hypocrisy and double standard,and atleast plo had more moral high ground than idf and isreal government
Are you referring to Israel? The Zionist state that never takes responsibility until the evidence forces them to? Have you ever heard of the USS Liberty? Has Israel ever admitted to this murder of these US Navy servicemen? What about Palestinian American Journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. Murdered in cold blood in broad daylight by an Israeli soldier. Add her name to the list of the many journalists shot and killed by the Zionist state over the past several decades.

Lokhman Slim and Monika Borgman's Massaker, based on 90 hours of interviews with the LF soldiers who participated in the massacre, gives the participants' memories of how they were drawn into the militia, trained with the Israeli army and unleashed on the camps to take revenge for the murder of Bashir Gemayel. The motivations are varied, from blaming beatings from their fathers in childhood, the effects of the brutalization of war, obedience to one's leaders, a belief that the camp women would breed future terrorists, and the idea three quarters of the residents were terrorists. Others spoke of their violence without traces of repentance.[
Sabra and Shatila was a terrible and obscene event. Yet the media never explore why the Phalange committed such an atrocity. Palestinians had massacred Christians in their homes and villages. This was a horrific and unmentionable period.
Nope, Sabra and Shatila took place after the murder of Bachir Gemayel by the Mujahdeen or the PLO. Stop with the none sense and stop justifying killing 3500 people in retaliation of 1. The PLO holds great responsibility the civil war and all the hard times the Lebanon faced, but that doesn't justify the massacre.
Of course the massacres in Sabra and Shatila also were the only [Edit: of the several massacres of the Lebanese civil war] that created an international outcry and are remembered.
@@aj-zt8br I was referring to the context of the video and only meant massacres commited during the Lebanese civil war.

Nonsense! Israel is a Zionist, imperialist project and without western imperialism it would exist! Christian Zionism is even older than Jewish Zionism, in case you didn't know and made Israel possible. The Europeans have a 2000 year history of Jew-hate that eventually resulted in he Holocaust ON EUROPEAN SOIL BY EUROPEANS - THE PALESTINIANS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT, AND MOST THE PALESTINIANS ARE DESCENDED FROM BIBLICAL JEWS!!
If the Israelis were so innocent, then why they prevented people who were getting massacredred from leaving , why they didn't intervene and why they shot illuminating flares for the christian criminals to able to continue the massacre, look there was wittneses that testified that Ariel Sharon was watching the massacre from a watch tower near by , and why the Americans who gave guarantees to the plo , if you leave Lebanon the refugees will not be harmed . It was ordered by the Israelis and Eli Hubeiqa the head of the criminals said was ordered by sharon to commit the massacre and he was going to testify in front of the ICC when he was assassinated.
Hahah for real ? Israel is patting itself of the back for doing the bare minimum to recognize their responsibilities in the massacre of refugees. Refugees they created by their previous operations. And you only see a trust issue ? Hahahahahahahahahahahaga
@monika he literally didn't do it, he didn't say anything bad about Poland. You rather seem to be uneducated and don't understand him. He just compared the situation the Jewish mother was in and the fact that she suffocated her child because she was trying to hide and stay quiet to the countless similar situations Jewish mothers went through during the Holocaust in Poland because of the German terror apparatus. We all know Poland was under German rule and occupation back then, and Germans forced these situations, so it's not about Poland being bad per se, but about the situation being bad for Jews in Poland's territory, and situations like this happening, and they were happening, the same situations. There are countless documented stories from the WWII period in Poland, describing how Jewish mothers, hiding, killed their newborn children - by accident or on purpose, because they were trying to survive, often entire families of people were in such hiding places, and little baby crying could have revealed their hiding place to the Germans. So he compared the situations accurately, that's all. And I'm Polish from Poland, btw.
Sabra and Shatila are the results of the Damour massacre. It cannot be explained in isolation. It is like trying to explain WW2 without starting with the events following WW1.

It had nothing to do with Jews. ---- The Zionist Congress took place in Basel Switzerland because of some internal disagreements among the German Jews.

very well thought out report enjoyed learning what that war was about and the horrible massacre which I recall being broadcased on American TV. Too bad TV never broadcast the the PLO massacre, as far as I remember, of 4000 people at a later date.
if they would agree to any of the previous partition plans they'd already have it. if they have been more peaceful maybe that would have been easier as well..
I mean they operate as a terrorist state. If the Palestinians put their guns down their would be peace. If the jew put their guns down you have a 2nd holocaust...
A small correction: The Chief of Staff at that time was Rafael Eitan. (also known as Raful). Rafi Eitan was a Mossad agent who helped to find and bring Eichmann to justice 🙂
Yes it can proved , they shot the flares to enable the criminals to continue the massacre , the US gave the PLO guarantees that if you leave , the camps will be protected, the Israelis turned away survivors and prevented them from leaving the camps , witnesses testified that they saw Ariel Sharon watching the massacres from a near by watch tower and the main witness against Sharon ( Eli hubeiqa ) was assassinated 2 days before testifying him in the Hague . So please dont try to cover the Israeli responsibility for the crime , Ariel Sharon ordered the massacre, the American government that gave guarantees for the safety of the Palestinian civilians and the Christian fascist that committed were all responsible.

Asking. It is great and all that the Sabra and Shatila massacre is acknowledged and treated as civilized as it should be, but something needs to be asked. What have the Israeli done to compensate the victims and living survivors of the Massacre? Or is that Lebanon's problem? You can't really expect pulling down Sharon as some kind of a moral victory when the victims is still left behind, only surviving with the consequences of the IDF's actions. Again, what has been done more than just sacking the defense minister and few other generals? Because if that is the case, then it'll just be a pat in the back for the moral argument of Israeli awareness of this tragic chapter.
Nothing has been done. In fact, to say the government failed to hold the perpetrators accountable is an understatement, on the contrary, Israel is proud the actions of the IDF have effectively been rewarded. Sharon eventually became prime minister, and many others involved gained serious prestige like he did. The victims and their descendants have lived at least 2 more violent invasions from Israel into Lebanon after this, and Palestinians in Lebanon are still subject to ghettoization and exclusion, and most are stateless until today as Lebanon has refused to naturalize the refugee community.
You didn't mention any names of those in the Phalange responsible - Eli Hobeka for example Also I would be very interested to be given a reliable source of the massacre of 4000 Palestinians in Shatila in 1985
Who killed the refugees in Sabra and Shetila? It was Lebanese Christians who did all the killing. They are people with names, families and addresses. They are not mindless animals. They did it because their people had been murdered by the Palestinians. The Palestinians murdered Christians and the Christians killed Palestinians in revenge. Make a video about Lebanese🇱🇧✝️ Christians and leave Israel out of it!
Well, if you jewish israeli colonisers hadn't commtted atrocities against palestinians and thrown them out of their homeland and made them refugees in lebanon, none of this would have occured. You cannot wash your hands and leave without taking accountability. Your invaders are still building settlements after demolishing palestinian homes and making more refugees. So stop the hypocrisy.
@@alangervasis Go back further. The Levant had been all Christian, and Muslim armies conquered them and made them like Indians in America. The Arabs should have stayed in Arabia, and now that the original Levantines are asserting themselves (including Jews) the Arabs should learn from liberal white Americans and step back and consider reparations for invading and colonizing the Levant🇱🇧🇮🇱.
@@alangervasis It's a funny thing. Until the 1990's, most of the Israeli were from Arab countries☪️, just like Itamar Ben-Gvir's family🇮🇶, and the single largest group of Israelis were Moroccan🇲🇦 Jewish Israelis.

They SLA would not have made the progress it did in the conflict if it wasn't for Israel, and Israels intervention In 82 shifted the local force balance in their favour. If you arm a militia with tanks and guns then look on as it massacres hundreds of civilians, you are implicated in that. Israel has never had success intervening in Lebanon, everything between 82 and 06 has been a disaster politically and militarily for them
@@ravenmusic6392 The Muslims had Christian blood on their hands and got back what they had given. Funny thing is, the Lubavitcher Rebbe said that Israel should illuminate the PLO, and leave Lebanon immediately. The secularist Israeli government ignored the Rebbe, and spared the PLO, and stayed in Lebanon for the next 18 years, (just to show how stupid they are). The Rebbe absolutely opposed Israel giving land away.They ignored him, and today Egypt is running a cold war against Israel, and rockets are being shot from Gaza to Tel-Aviv.
I'm a Christian who grew up angry about the Sabra and Shatila massacre, not because I have any personal connection, but from reading about the events on Wikipedia. In my opinion, this was an event heightened by political tensions. Thanks for this video. No, I do not blame Israel.
You Christians are as fascist as the Israelis , even worse to this day Christians refuse to take responsibility for it and bring the criminals to justice , to the contrary all the fascists that committed it were given government posts , both Israel and its fascist Christian Lebanese allies were involved in the massacres at the highest levels.
they were occupying lebanon at the time and surrounded the camps and let the phalangists commit the genocide as they watched.. (according to witnesses and the phalangist themselves) Ariel Sheron was found guilty, elie hobeika was on his way to testify on sheron's role but died in a car bomb like a dog before he couldve.. connect the dots

@@goldball9916then don't lie. The plo and later Hezbollah's main tactics are to use young civilians as their troops and hide inside civilian areas (just like hamas today), making a war with them seem like it's Israel vs civilians even tho they are completely responsible for endangering so many civilians who got hurt in the end.
Begin was a terrorist and became a PM and Sharon (who has no like for Palestinians) wasn't exactly going to stop the killings. Fact is Israel had the responsibility on the ground as the PLO fighters agreed to leave. Clearly Israel is to blame.

Asfar as I understand it the Phalangists marched from Isreali territory and training camps under the protection of the IOF while the IOF bombarded the camps and phalangusts carried out the massacre...the idea that this was arranged by Lebanon is utterly absurd.
The king David hotel bombing was only to send a message to the Brits with a warning note so no civilians would get hurt, the British ignored the warning leading to civilian deaths.

Interesting anlysis but if your aim is to genuinely educate casual viewers, why have you failed to mention why there was such a large contingent of Palestinian refugees in southern Lebanon in the first place and why the PLO had such an antagonistic attitude towards Israel?
Simply put, they tried to wipe out the Jews of Israel and lost. They then tried to take over Jordan. There too they lost. Then they tried to take over Lebanon, the Lebanese Christians fought them, but in the end, they won.
To understand the conflict you have to go to 1948 while establishing the "Isreal" state 750000 Palestinians and 450+ of their villages where burn to the ground,fast forward to 1964 when the PLO was established to resist against injustice. Imaging someone investigating there own crime, nothing could be more bias. Democracy for the Jews and apartheid for the Arab so called Isrealis.
Israel aided and abetted the massacre at Sabra and Shatila by providing a cordon around the refugee camp. The Paratroop Battalion providing the cordon was commanded by 25 year old LtCol Amir Maimon, currently the Israeli Ambassodor to Australia.
Typically, the focus would be on whoever committed the crime. And since this was a set of two massacres, it's pretty unusual that the initial act is completely ignored. I wonder if there's any serious investigation of the entire event.
Fergal Keane did investigative journalism for BBC's Panorama in 2001 ("The Accused"). I was lucky enough to be able to watch it somehow online years ago. Now, I can't find it anywhere. There are transcripts of it out there. Just be aware, if you read the transcript - (cw) graphic descriptions of graphic violence. The program consists of various testimonies.
It's a strange democracy that denies the right to vote to millions of Palestinians born and raised there but gives the right to vote to some fat retired American born and raised in Brooklyn.

if someone tells you to wait outside while they pack their belongings to move to another flat, and maybe sometimes give you a box to carry to the car, and you help them willingly thinking that you are doing something good, but later you realise that you actually participated in burglary and helped a thief, you are still responsible for your part, you should’ve known better and your naivety doesn’t fully absolve you, but it’s light years far from the real criminal. yet, since you are the only one who is ready to take any responsibility and the real burglar outright denies everything, those who either seek to blame it on you, because they hate you anyway and are always happy to blame you basically for anything, as well as those who are too dumb or too lazy to seek real justice and are satisfied with the low hanging fruit which is again, blaming it all on the least responsible, but the most conscious party, all of these types just jolly dance around throwing rocks at you, while the real burglar walks away scot free, planning his next “project” :) nice, right?

There was a lot of Palestinian massacres in Lebanon’s committed by Israel and it’s militant allies ,but sabra and shatila are the only ones are remembered because unintentionally some reporters we near there and took some pictures and videos of the massacre !
No, Sabra Shatila is not committed by Israel but by the Phalangists. Educate yourself. Also the other ones were not committed by Israel: Sabra Shatila 1982, Damur 1967, Karantina 1976, Tel Al Zaatar 1976 and Sabra Shatila 1985 again (PLO against Amal)… One of the reasons it’s the most famous is because Jews were involved (lighting) and there are still too many racists.

Not enough research went into this. A lot of people might raise an eyebrow when you say something like "Israel cannot be responsible for a massacre perpetrated by Christians". It would look strange to some, Christians might actually do something like that to Muslims. What I mean by that, is that the Sabra and Shatila massacre, simply cannot be understood, without first understanding that many of the Christian perpetrators prior had family members who were massacred at Damour, like for example Elie Hobeika - whose family and his fiancée were massacred at Damour by the "Palestinians". So the Phalangists were, as they were seeing it, exacting revenge. What about "love thy enemy"? Guess it's only a guideline.
Nice, very proud to see israel the peaceful, non murderous, non genocidal state have nothing to do with this massacre. The same way they had nothing to do with al tantura and dir yassin and gaza now. Such a great country indeed

Well bad thing have happened by both sides. But the reason it exists in the first place is ignored. As well as the reason it continues. Israel has had a rough time. And the thing is they wouldn't exist if not for conflict that they had little to nothing to do with starting.
Really? I find this video and most of the others on this channel to be pure propaganda. I am trying to understand the entire situation objectively, but this guy seems to be presenting the IDF as some kind of heroes, whereas we have all seen them shooting Palestinian youngsters at point blank range and beating defenceless old men and disabled people. How can any group of people claim a territory and treat the original inhabitants of that land as a subspecies to be herded around like goats, based on some ridiculous stories made up a thousand years ago? On the other hand, aren’t Western fossil fuel companies responsible for propping up the Jordanian regime that has done nothing to help against the occupation? In any case, this channel seems to be pure Likud propaganda, so it’s impossible to take it seriously.

I heard that the Christians used knives in order to be silent and not arrouse the Israelis, and that the Christians killed only the young men, who had been the actual combatants of the Palestinians. The bottom line is, the Palestinians had massacred Lebanese Christians shortly before, and the Christians redeemed the blood of their murdered kinsmen.
@@benavraham4397 Oh ok so what you're talking about there is called a revenge killing, plain and simple.

And no, it wasn't just knives, it was guns, vehicles and other heavy weapons, the Israelis knew full well what was going on and directly facilitated the location of the camps through their recon assets. Killing young men is also common in genocides and war crimes, its what happened in both Germany and Bosnia, male civilians are killed as revenge, that doesn't justify it. The reason why Israel is hated in Lebanon isn't even because of this even, its because of the thousands of civilians they've killed through their invasions and utterly indescriminate bombings that's galvanised the population.

Along came an Israeli patrol, the Israeli officer asked the Phalange what was going on and the response with laughter was we have some Bulls to slaughter that being their nickname for Druze people.
The Israeli officer was enraged and slapped the Phalnge leader and screamed, I am a Bull as well do you want to slaughter me as well.
Both sides drew weapons and all the civilians were released and it was told to all.
Peace with Israel not terrorists.
@@kaus3587 israel is a terrorist state full of neo-naszi zionist jewish supremacists terrorists.
That’s a canard
So not a bad video but a few corrections:
1) IDF has admitted that their soldiers close to Shatilla and Sabra not only knew about the massacre, but some were pushing the phalangists to go back and commit more massacres. They did not report it up the chain as was IDF Protocol.
2) Begin, Sharon, and Eitan (aka Raful as he was more commonly known) were all aware of what was going on. Phalangists primary contact was Sharon so we can't really say he wasn't involved.
3) The inquiry into the massacre was limited in scope, and even they found errors on the IDF Part
4) I speak as someone who has intimate knowledge in this affair, in times of War the unspeakable happens but we need to admit mistakes and not whitewash things. Those responsible should be held to account and just because they are "Elitest" doesn't mean they should avoid prosecution.
Also when I speak of Elitest I am referring to Sharon and Raful who basically blamed the lower ranks of the IDF and walked of scot free
@@TheAli2718 you're absolutely right!!
And the way that the responsibility is dissipated publicly is sick... If it's not the Palestinians fault then it's the fault of the mizrahi officers who are second class and who's families are living in ghettos in israel.
I'm curious; How do you think these commanders should have been held responsible? Why do you think the video is not bad when it completely blames these accountabilities away from leadership (just like pretty much all other Israeli state sponsored misinformation)?
The Lebanese men who committed the the massacre were given official amnesty from the government of Lebanon.
thank you. honestly watching the part where he said the IDF was unaware was hard to believe.
What sort of “Intimate knowledge”
I love how you taught us about desirability bias and then clearly demonstrates it 😂
100%
BS. it’s just that the facts don’t suit your desirability bias. it’s ok. your crowd never takes responsibility for anything, despite that you are aware of the positive value of doing so.
Why does nobody mention who it all started with PLO terrorists threatening and killing Maronite Christians ?
Because that doesn't justify what eventually happened. While the PLO were terrorists, and committed horrific atrocities against the Maronites, that doesn't justify the horror that transpired. Can't say I blame them, though. They were angry. They had suffered much at the hands of the PLO.
And the damour mass acre..... :/
The malicious entity came out of nowhere and destabilized an entire region. If it had not displaced the Palestinians, the PLO would not have existed and would not have destroyed the demographics and security of Lebanon.

Lokhman Slim and Monika Borgman's Massaker, based on 90 hours of interviews with the LF soldiers who participated in the massacre, gives the participants' memories of how they were drawn into the militia, trained with the Israeli army and unleashed on the camps to take revenge for the murder of Bashir Gemayel. The motivations are varied, from blaming beatings from their fathers in childhood, the effects of the brutalization of war, obedience to one's leaders, a belief that the camp women would breed future terrorists, and the idea three quarters of the residents were terrorists. Others spoke of their violence without traces of repentance.[

@monika he literally didn't do it, he didn't say anything bad about Poland. You rather seem to be uneducated and don't understand him. He just compared the situation the Jewish mother was in and the fact that she suffocated her child because she was trying to hide and stay quiet to the countless similar situations Jewish mothers went through during the Holocaust in Poland because of the German terror apparatus. We all know Poland was under German rule and occupation back then, and Germans forced these situations, so it's not about Poland being bad per se, but about the situation being bad for Jews in Poland's territory, and situations like this happening, and they were happening, the same situations. There are countless documented stories from the WWII period in Poland, describing how Jewish mothers, hiding, killed their newborn children - by accident or on purpose, because they were trying to survive, often entire families of people were in such hiding places, and little baby crying could have revealed their hiding place to the Germans. So he compared the situations accurately, that's all. And I'm Polish from Poland, btw.
What I find absurd is trying to justify something that horrible.
Sabra and Shatila are the results of the Damour massacre. It cannot be explained in isolation. It is like trying to explain WW2 without starting with the events following WW1.
Or explaining the Holocaust without the international collusion of Zionist and the Jewish Zionist congress based in Germany backing the Allys ww1.

A small correction: The Chief of Staff at that time was Rafael Eitan. (also known as Raful). Rafi Eitan was a Mossad agent who helped to find and bring Eichmann to justice 🙂
Yes it can proved , they shot the flares to enable the criminals to continue the massacre , the US gave the PLO guarantees that if you leave , the camps will be protected, the Israelis turned away survivors and prevented them from leaving the camps , witnesses testified that they saw Ariel Sharon watching the massacres from a near by watch tower and the main witness against Sharon ( Eli hubeiqa ) was assassinated 2 days before testifying him in the Hague .
So please dont try to cover the Israeli responsibility for the crime , Ariel Sharon ordered the massacre, the American government that gave guarantees for the safety of the Palestinian civilians and the Christian fascist that committed were all responsible.
He should bring himself to justice , at least this massacre is a proven act of genocide , unlike the holly hoax .

The charter from 1964 needs to be read in the context of the Nakba, which was the ethnic cleansing of Palestine, that had just taken place in 1947/48.
Asking. It is great and all that the Sabra and Shatila massacre is acknowledged and treated as civilized as it should be, but something needs to be asked. What have the Israeli done to compensate the victims and living survivors of the Massacre? Or is that Lebanon's problem? You can't really expect pulling down Sharon as some kind of a moral victory when the victims is still left behind, only surviving with the consequences of the IDF's actions.
Again, what has been done more than just sacking the defense minister and few other generals? Because if that is the case, then it'll just be a pat in the back for the moral argument of Israeli awareness of this tragic chapter.
Nothing has been done. In fact, to say the government failed to hold the perpetrators accountable is an understatement, on the contrary, Israel is proud the actions of the IDF have effectively been rewarded. Sharon eventually became prime minister, and many others involved gained serious prestige like he did.
The victims and their descendants have lived at least 2 more violent invasions from Israel into Lebanon after this, and Palestinians in Lebanon are still subject to ghettoization and exclusion, and most are stateless until today as Lebanon has refused to naturalize the refugee community.
What punishment did the two men found responsible receive?
Waltz With Bashir anyone?
Israel was not only involved but Ariel Sharon gave the order, with the IDF used as a blocking force.

The Palestinians murdered Christians and the Christians killed Palestinians in revenge.

Interesting anlysis but if your aim is to genuinely educate casual viewers, why have you failed to mention why there was such a large contingent of Palestinian refugees in southern Lebanon in the first place and why the PLO had such an antagonistic attitude towards Israel?
Simply put, they tried to wipe out the Jews of Israel and lost. They then tried to take over Jordan. There too they lost. Then they tried to take over Lebanon, the Lebanese Christians fought them, but in the end, they won.
And the large number of Palestinian Moslem refugees? Didn’t they come from Israel bd were pushed out by the Jews?
They tried wiping out the Jews and the Jews with some logic I guess didn't want them near them, leading to kicking them out of the land.
why would Menachim Begin, a terrorist, want to prevent such an atrocity when he was involved with and committed many similar attrocities himself?

how did this shining democracy punish the man responsible for this abhorrent massacre? elected him PM
To understand the conflict you have to go to 1948 while establishing the "Isreal" state 750000 Palestinians and 450+ of their villages where burn to the ground,fast forward to 1964 when the PLO was established to resist against injustice. Imaging someone investigating there own crime, nothing could be more bias. Democracy for the Jews and apartheid for the Arab so called Isrealis.
Israel aided and abetted the massacre at Sabra and Shatila by providing a cordon around the refugee camp. The Paratroop Battalion providing the cordon was commanded by 25 year old LtCol Amir Maimon, currently the Israeli Ambassodor to Australia.
Typically, the focus would be on whoever committed the crime.
And since this was a set of two massacres, it's pretty unusual that the initial act is completely ignored.
I wonder if there's any serious investigation of the entire event.
Fergal Keane did investigative journalism for BBC's Panorama in 2001 ("The Accused"). I was lucky enough to be able to watch it somehow online years ago. Now, I can't find it anywhere.

if someone tells you to wait outside while they pack their belongings to move to another flat, and maybe sometimes give you a box to carry to the car, and you help them willingly thinking that you are doing something good, but later you realise that you actually participated in burglary and helped a thief, you are still responsible for your part, you should’ve known better and your naivety doesn’t fully absolve you, but it’s light years far from the real criminal.

gemiel is assassinated, israeli defense
minister ariel sharon instructs the idf
to allow the lebanese christian
phalanges militia to quote "clean out the
refugee camps at sabra and chatilla"
"we are going to mop up west beirut..."
-IDF General Raphael Eitan
These camps mostly housed unarmed women
children and elderly people after the
idf surrounded the camps and disarmed
the lebanese militias,
the phalanges
entered sabra chatilla for 40
uninterrupted hours the militants began
a terrible slaughter using guns knives
and axes
israeli figures put the number
of victims at 800 but the palestinian
red crescent estimated as many as 2000
people perish, the attack continued from
thursday september 16th to sunday the
idf learned of the atrocities as early
as thursday evening but chose to do
nothing and allowed it to continue the
israeli invasion of lebanon would
eliminate 15k-20k lebanese
civilians and palestinian refugees
"as i watched the destroyed towers in Lebanon, it occured to me to punish the unjust the same way: to destroy towers in America"
-Osama bin Laden
you got to ask yourself
if a country goes to a war it can prevent or at least not go to Beirut iin hope to gain political win
is it ok to understand and say they got the most moral army?
you got to ask yourself if givving territory to the palestinians could prevent thousands of murders on both sides, can you say its still a defending army?
you got to ask yourself if the majority of israelies are supporting the right wing that prefer one holy land instead of a chance for peace is that land holy and those people chosen?
i got to ask myseklf as an israeli how can you teach a just nerative to our chldren without being a liaer? how can you love your country and hate what it does?
sadly our story of shoa and gvura endeed in 73 the last defending war, or 40 years ago with the peace with jordern
since then rabin was murdered along with the just voices that seak justice not just for the jews
Israel looked at what the phalanges militia did and for whole 40
uninterrupted hours the attack continued from
thursday september 16th to sunday the
idf learned of the atrocities as early
as thursday evening but chose to do
nothing and allowed it to continue
the militants slaughtered using guns knives
and axes.
You are lying 😂😂😂
Nice history lesson 'so do you think if we give 100 billion dollars to all palestinians in Jerusalem to move else where would they move out?
Not enough research went into this. A lot of people might raise an eyebrow when you say something like "Israel cannot be responsible for a massacre perpetrated by Christians". It would look strange to some, Christians might actually do something like that to Muslims. What I mean by that, is that the Sabra and Shatila massacre, simply cannot be understood, without first understanding that many of the Christian perpetrators prior had family members who were massacred at Damour, like for example Elie Hobeika - whose family and his fiancée were massacred at Damour by the "Palestinians". So the Phalangists were, as they were seeing it, exacting revenge. What about "love thy enemy"? Guess it's only a guideline.
Read about Damour Massacre
Only if united States does the same thing
Begin was a terrorist right?
Nice, very proud to see israel the peaceful, non murderous, non genocidal state have nothing to do with this massacre. The same way they had nothing to do with al tantura and dir yassin and gaza now. Such a great country indeed
Nothing can justifies this massacres folks now anything changes the more wars they will waged every factions will becomes stronger folks
Israel is the good country always helping others
Israel should annex Lebanon and Mediterranean coast of Syria and create a larger state of Kna'an.
Ha, the opening part about cognitive bias almost got me. This video, this whole channel is unilateral in its views. The last part about democracies not being afraid of the truth made me grind my teeth, either the most delusional person on earth or the most dishonest
While I do not agree with everything you say, I find your channel to be fairly,objective
Well bad thing have happened by both sides. But the reason it exists in the first place is ignored. As well as the reason it continues. Israel has had a rough time. And the thing is they wouldn't exist if not for conflict that they had little to nothing to do with starting.
If israel didn't exist most civil wars and blood would not have happened and this is harsh truth for many.
Really? I find this video and most of the others on this channel to be pure propaganda. I am trying to understand the entire situation objectively, but this guy seems to be presenting the IDF as some kind of heroes, whereas we have all seen them shooting Palestinian youngsters at point blank range and beating defenceless old men and disabled people. How can any group of people claim a territory and treat the original inhabitants of that land as a subspecies to be herded around like goats, based on some ridiculous stories made up a thousand years ago? On the other hand, aren’t Western fossil fuel companies responsible for propping up the Jordanian regime that has done nothing to help against the occupation? In any case, this channel seems to be pure Likud propaganda, so it’s impossible to take it seriously.
And afterwards Aaron Sharon became the prime minister of Israel.
The video forgets to mention the PLO withdrawal from Lebanon, which motivated the Phalangists to attack innocent Palestinians
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing
Their withdrawel happened only after this terrible event.
@@dogbert52 The event happened because the PLO left for Tunisia, so they were unable to defend the camp.
@@agentminecraft9986 when? And when did this happen?
@@dogbert52 September 1st, 1982. On September 16th, the massacre occurred
So IDF was like corporal Schultz " I KNOW NOTTING "
But seriously , What's the story about all the other massacres ??
Kings 9 4-9 denies your claim.
Biased to Israel ,why wont you tell how Palestinians lived in camps since 1948?
Why wont you tell why they were not allowed to go back home in the first place ?
Arabs keep them cooped up in camps, not Israel.
Who declared war on who in 1948 habibi?
@@dogbert52 you cant come and declare half of the land is yours and expect people to be cool, any way without the british support hagana couldnt do any thing
@@dogbert52 The zionists declared war when they colonized the land that was never theirs. It would be as if I took over your house and banished you to the basement and call it 50/50. Israel has no right to exist in the first place. Palestine belongs to the Palestinians, not to the zionists, not the British or the Turks.
I don't have anything to say except what the comment above me
So in what world does an accuser investigate an incident that they are accused of. This guy saying Israel was the only party who had the integrity to investigate Sabra and Shatila, and by the way the reason Palestinian where there is because they were kick out of Palestine 1948, so who cause all this to begin with. if no one kicked the Palestine out of their homeland then Jordan, Syria and Lebanon and elsewhere wouldn't have this problem. This is why this will always be a conflict and won't be resolve in our life time.
Massacre was not a Israeli fault , It did under the patronage of IDF.
Wrong
It is absurd to blame Israel for killings done by Lebanese Christians! 🇱🇧✝️
They blame us for everything these days 💀
@@R0DBS2 "These days?" My, you are optimistic!
@@benavraham4397 It's because the Lebanese and Israeli forces were operating in-step with the SLA during the conflicts. Numerous reports after the fact have noted that Israel had multiple chances to intervene in the massacres and did not
@@ravenmusic6392 I read that the Lebanese government gave amnisty to the actual killers. As far as Lebanon is concerned, the event is seen as natural and forgiven.
The massacre took place on the night of Rosh HaShana, a solemn Jewish holiday, so to have the Israelis at their minimum alertness. I heard that the Christians used knives in order to be silent and not arrouse the Israelis, and that the Christians killed only the young men, who had been the actual combatants of the Palestinians.
The bottom line is, the Palestinians had massacred Lebanese Christians shortly before, and the Christians redeemed the blood of their murdered kinsmen.
@@benavraham4397 Oh ok so what you're talking about there is called a revenge killing, plain and simple. I don't care how many other massacres occoured, it doesn't justify the mass execution of refugees, and even less the aiding of that killing by a UN member state! And no, it wasn't just knives, it was guns, vehicles and other heavy weapons, the Israelis knew full well what was going on and directly facilitated the location of the camps through their recon assets. Killing young men is also common in genocides and war crimes, its what happened in both Germany and Bosnia, male civilians are killed as revenge, that doesn't justify it.
The reason why Israel is hated in Lebanon isn't even because of this even, its because of the thousands of civilians they've killed through their invasions and utterly indescriminate bombings that's galvanised the population. Hezbollah wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the southern Lebanon conflict
I cant believe the audacity you have to use sabra and shatila as a marketing and propaganda ploy for israel. Your page makes me sick
Who cares
"not realizing what's going on" 😅 why Israelis didn't let the journalists to enter the camps ?? why when the civilian victims tried to run away the Israelis didn't let them and when they told the soldiers that Phalangists are killing and raping they just answer "Go back to the camp" ?
5:13 just like now. Not jews war but BB netanyahu war
America acknowledges many things it's done...........ok?
What’s this with your incessant hand movements and the background music. I’m interested in history but can’t watch this noisy talk.
Its a display of his schizophrenia
People from Mediterranean talk with their hands
@8:42 Pogrom not progrom
"brave to admit that they are wrong" lol
yes,,,,,,,they did
Israhell
Will Israel recognise the Nakba
I mean you said it yourself democracy stands for the truth
Trying to be 4:27 🤦🏻 to deny that
I posted and then my comment disappeared 😂
Sorry lads, at this video u wrong
Now if they would look at its own acts in Gaza…
I presume that you are talking about Hamas and Islamic Jihad. There are ZERO Israelis in Gaza for the last 17 years.
@@MrBoazhorribilis yea they just bomb them from jets now veryyy different and oh the graveyard was a hamas base obviously why are those kids in it
Israel is not responsible for any deaths as it withdrew from there
@@MrBoazhorribilis People, maybe. It's easier to bomb if there are no "israelis" there, isn't it?
@@almitrahopkins1873 I do not know what you are trying to intimate but I read the reports and almost all the fatalities were the result of bullet wounds specifically targeted. No bombings.
That's how you gonna get peace its worth it ' rebuilt jerusalem beautifully for tourism and investors and no more fighting 200 billion good
🇬🇧🙏🇮🇱🇬🇧🙏🇮🇱🇬🇧🙏🇮🇱
yes, yes it was.
