Shatila Refugee Camp

2023-08-30 A Letter to IDF Soldiers IN SEPTEMBER 2012, on the 30th anniversary of the massacre at Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in Beirut, I wrote a letter to the Israeli soldiers who were on duty there <www.972mag.com/a-letter-to-the-idf-soldiers-at-sabra-and-shatila>.
This September 2023, on the 41st anniversary of that massacre, we mark another atrocity in a Palestinian refugee camp, this one in Jenin, in the Occupied Territories. I am again writing a letter but this time to those Israeli soldiers on active duty who were in Jenin. I wonder if the children of those soldiers who were in Beirut participated in the invasion and destruction of this West Bank city. https://www.wrmea.org/israel-palestine/a-letter-to-idf-soldiers.html
2001-04-00 The Champion Of Violence Takes Over Many American Jews are responding to the election of Ariel Sharon as prime minister of Israel with sadness, mourning and despair. When Ariel Sharon was forced to resign from his position as defense minister during the Lebanon war, most Israelis felt that they had finally rid themselves of a man whose record of violence could no longer be ignored. Though his troops didn’t personally do the brutal killings of the hundreds of civilians in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps, but merely let the murderers in and provided flares through the night for them as the stabbings and rapes and murders proceeded by soldiers known to have participated in other attrocities against civilians, the Israeli public knew of his many other acts of terror (including massacres of civilian Bedouins in the Sinai). By standards now being applied in Kosovo and Serbia, Ariel Sharon would have been brought to trial for war crimes. Instead, he now has been elected prime minister. https://www.wrmea.org/2001-april/the-champion-of-violence-takes-over.html
