The Legacy Of Ariel Sharon -
The Butcher Of Sabra And Chatila 2-6-01


This is a place of filth and blood which will forever be associated with Ariel Sharon. With his election as prime minister, he will be master of the most powerful nation in the Middle East; he will travel to America, he will visit the White House and shake hands with President George W Bush. But for everyone who stood in the Sabra and Chatila refugee camps in Beirut on 18 September 1982, his name is synonymous with butchery; with bloated corpses and disembowelled women and dead babies, with rape and pillage and murder...

That should keep you going for a while. Sharon was a murdering son of a EDIT with no redeeming qualities. His murderous tendencies started early in his career after his bollocks nearly got shot off at Latrun. His participation in the Operation Shoshana in October 1953, in which 69 Palestinian civilians, some of them children, were killed by Sharon's troops in unit 101 in an attack on their West Bank village of Qibya was just a foretaste of Sharon's signature. Sharon's career has been a trail of blood.

In August 1953 Unit 101 was founded as a special forces unit of the Israeli Defence Force (IDF), founded and commanded by Ariel Scheinermann on orders from Prime Minister David Grün.

One of the first actions was :- The Qibya massacre.

http://sabbah.biz/mt/archives/2006/1...of-terrorists/

Avi Shlaim writes: "The Qibya massacre unleashed against Israel a storm of international protest of unprecedented severity in the country's short history."

Avi Shlaim (2001). The Iron Wall: Israel and the Arab World. W. W. Norton & Company, 91. ISBN 0393321126. During the raid 69 Palestinians were killed. Additionally, forty-five houses, a school, and a mosque were blown-up. The act was condemned by the US State Department, the UN Security Council, and by Jewish communities worldwide. As a result, aid was temporarily suspended to Israel.

The Israeli historian Avi Shlaim wrote this about the massacre:

"Sharon's order was to penetrate Qibya, blow up houses and inflict heavy casualties on its inhabitants. His success in carrying out the order surpassed all expectations. The full and macabre story of what happened at Qibya was revealed only during the morning after the attack. The village had been reduced to rubble: forty-five houses had been blown up, and sixty-nine civilians, two-thirds of them women and children, had been killed."

Sharon and his men claimed that they believed that all the inhabitants had run away and that they had no idea that anyone was hiding inside the houses. The UN observer who inspected the scene reached a different conclusion:

"One story was repeated time after time: the bullet-splintered door, the body sprawled across the threshold, indicating that the inhabitants had been forced by heavy fire to stay inside until their homes were blown up over them."

The slaughter in Qibya was described contemporaneously in a letter to the president of the United Nations Security Council dated 16 October 1953 (S/3113) from the envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of Jordan to the United States.

On 14 October 1953 at 9:30 at night, he wrote, Israeli troops launched a battalion-scale attack on the village of Qibya in Jordan (at the time the West Bank was annexed to Jordan). According to the diplomat's account, Israeli forces had entered the village and systematically murdered all occupants of houses, using automatic weapons, grenades and incendiaries. On 14 October the bodies of 42 Arab civilians had been recovered; several more bodies had been still under the ruins. Forty houses, the village school and a reservoir had been destroyed. Quantities of unused explosives, bearing Israel army markings in Hebrew, had been found in the village. At about 3 a.m., to cover their withdrawal, Israeli support troops had begun shelling the neighbouring villages of Budrus and Shuqba from positions in Israel.

The US Department of State issued a statement on 18 October 1953 expressing its "deepest sympathy for the families of those who lost their lives" in the Qibya attack as well as the conviction that those responsible "should be brought to account and that effective measures should be taken to prevent such incidents in the future". (Department of State Bulletin, 26 October 1953, page 552)

At a Security Council meeting on 20 October 1953, it was decided unanimously to examine recent violations of the General Armistice Agreements and the Qibya attack in particular. It was agreed that the council would invite and hear a report by its representative, Major-General Vagn Bennike, chief of staff of the UN Truce Supervision Organization, in order to obtain accurate information concerning the facts.

Major-General Bennike reported to the Security Council on 27 October 1953. He said that, following the receipt of a Jordanian complaint that a raid on the village of Qibya had been carried out by Israeli military forces during the night of 14/15 October between 9:30 p.m. and 4:30 a.m., a United Nations investigation team had departed from Jerusalem for Qibya early on the morning of 15 October. On reaching the village, the acting chairman of the Mixed Armistice Commission, Commander Hutchison, had found that between 30 and 40 buildings had been completely demolished. By the time the acting chairman left Qibya, 27 bodies had been dug from the rubble.

Witnesses had been unanimous in describing their experience as a night of terror, during which Israeli soldiers had moved about in their village blowing up buildings, firing into doorways and windows with automatic weapons, and throwing hand grenades. A number of unexploded hand grenades, marked with Hebrew letters indicating recent Israel manufacture, and three bags of TNT had been found in and about the village.

An emergency meeting of the Mixed Armistice Commission had been held in the afternoon of 15 October and a resolution, condemning the regular Israeli army for its attack on Qibya as a breach of Article III, paragraph 2.62 of the Israel-Jordan General Armistice Agreement, had been adopted by a majority vote. The chief of staff, Major-General Vagn Bennike, stated that he had discussed with the acting chairman of the Mixed Armistice Commission the reasons why he had supported the resolution condemning the Israeli army for having carried out the attack, and that, after listening to his explanations, he had asked him to state them in writing; the technical arguments given by Commander Hutchison in his memorandum appeared to the chief of staff to be convincing.

At a Security Council meeting on 16 November 1953, the representative of Jordan requested that the council condemn Israel for the Qibya massacre in the strongest term, and ask Israel to prosecute and punish all Israeli officials, military or civilian, responsible for the killings. The representative of Lebanon made a similar request.

Security Council Resolution 101, adopted on 24 November 1953 (with Lebanon and the USSR abstaining) found the retaliatory action at Qibya by Israeli forces a violation of the cease-fire provisions of Security Council Resolution 54 (1948 ) and inconsistent with the parties' obligations under the General Armistice Agreement between Israel and Jordan and the Charter of the UN, and expressed "the strongest censure of that action". The resolution also called on the governments of Israel and Jordan to prevent all acts of violence on either side of the demarcation line, but did not call on Israel to hold accountable and bring to justice those who carried out the massacre.

Milita pass 1956 Ariel Scheinermann provokes battle.

Sabra and Chatila

Defense Minister Ariel Sharon, in a statement, tied the killing [of the Phalangist leader Gemayel] to the PLO, saying: "It symbolises the terrorist murderousness of the PLO terrorist organisations and their supporters." Habib Chartouni, a Lebanese Christian from the Syrian Socialist National Party confessed to the murder of Gemayel, and no Palestinians were involved. Sharon had used this to instigate the entrance of the Lebanese militias into the camps.

The Beast of Sabra and Chatila was the the killer at Damour, Arafat.

[quote]Two hundred and twenty-five young men, most of them about sixteen years old, armed with hunting guns and none with military training, tried to defend the town from Arafat?s men. They held out for twelve days, while citizens huddled in basements, sandbags piled in front of their doors and ground-floor windows. The Palestinians cut off food and water supplies and refused to allow the Red Cross to take out the wounded, as infants and children died of dehydration.

Then, on January 23, the final onslaught came.

Father Labaky described the assault, ?It was an apocalypse. They were coming, thousands and thousands, shouting 'Allahu Akbar! God is great! Let us attack them for the Arabs, let us offer a holocaust to Mohammad.' And they were slaughtering everyone in their path, men, women and children. Whole families were killed in their homes. Many women were gang-raped, and few of them left alive afterwards? As the atrocities were perpetrated, the invaders themselves took photographs and later offered the pictures for sale to European newspapers.? As if even the absolute limits of nature could not stop them, the invaders broke open tombs and flung the bones of the dead into the streets. Father Labaky told some 500 Damourians who gathered in the Church of St. Elias that he did not know what to tell them to do. ?If I say flee to the sea, you may be killed. If I say stay here, you may be killed.?

hatred off of sectarian violence in damour lead to S&C, Sharon was guilty only of not appreciating the hatred caused the the palestinians against the christians of damour.

ashley: with the palestinians is a societal/cultural business!!

Estranged Fatah leader Farouk Kaddoumi is demanding an inquiry into the fate of $2b. that allegedly went missing after the death of former Palestinian Authority chairman Yasser Arafat, sources close to Kaddoumi said over the weekend.

Hasbaratoo you forgot your link. Hasbara1 has said you should always put your links in. I'm surprised Hasbara1 didn't say anything about it to you.

It's beginning to look like Hasbara1 only complains about non Israelophiles???

Wednesday 7th January 1976: The Palestinian camps of Tel El Zaatar and Jisr Jisr el Bacha being under a blockade, 1200 armed elements attacked the region of Horsh Tabet. Pitched battles between opposing Phalangist and Fedayeen activists.

Friday 16th January 1976: For the first time since the beginning of the war, the Lebanese air force intervened against Palestinian and progressive activists settlements in the Khaldeh and 'Aramoun regions. Thirty women and children were killed at the entry of Damour. The airport was closed after three shells hit the runways.

18th January 1976: Karantina Massacre in which Phalangists killed an estimated one thousand people. Karantina was a strategically situated Slum district in Beirut controlled by forces from the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), but inhabited mainly by Kurds and Armenians, as well as some Lebanese and Palestinian Muslims.

20th January 1976: Damour, during the 1975–1990 Lebanese Civil War. The massacre and destruction of Damour was perpetrated by Palestinian and their Lebanese Muslim allies, known as the "Mourabitoons” militias against the Christian inhabitants of Damour.

13th August 1976: Lebanese militias massacre over 2000 Palestinians in the Tel Al-Zaatar refugee camp, apparently with participation of Syrian troops.

Damour was not an isolated event Hasbaratoo. Claiming that Sharon didn't realise that hatred did not exist between the two groups is somewhat infantile. Israel had been using the SLA and Phalangist militias against the Palestinians for many years prior to Sabra and Chatila.

ashley: is that a compliment coming from the missing link??

but here is a link http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Ar...ticle.aspx/786

and now a special for ashley, another link: http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill...87/damour.html

ashley: no one said what sharon knew and didn't know, what was said was that the palestinians and arafat in particular had christian blood on their hands where as sharon was only indirectly implicated.

get the diff meathead??!!

The Kahane commission found Sharon was indirectly implicated.

Report of the Commission of Inquiry into the events at the refugee camps in Beirut, 8 February 1983.

Israeli MFA

Funny though, Arafat was not even found to be indirectly responsible.

And this was a report from the Israelis, not exactly independent.

Fact, the Christian Maronites not only did not condemn the Israelis but the Maronites and Israelis were allies.

Monday, Oct. 26, 1953

The sullen enmity between infant Israel and its Arab neighbors, long acknowledged and long passed over by Western diplomacy, erupted last week with a violence that could no longer be ignored.

At 9:30 one night, most of the people were just going to bed in the Jordanian village of Kibya, 20 miles northwest' of Jerusalem, and a mile and a half beyond the Israeli frontier. A light still burned in the village coffeehouse, where a few late gossipers were preparing to depart; on this quiet night, as usual, everyone put his trust in the U.N. "truce" and 30 skimpily armed Jordanian national guardsmen. Suddenly, Israeli artillery, previously zeroed onto target, opened up, and a 600-man battalion of uniformed Israeli regulars swept across the border to encircle the village. For the next 2^ hours the town shuddered under shell bursts and small-arms fire; villagers, screaming and milling, rushed out to the surrounding fields and olive groves.

Then the guardsmen's ammo (25 rounds per man) gave out, and the Israelis moved into Kibya with rifle and Sten guns. They shot every man. woman and child they could find, then turned their fire on the cattle. After that, they dynamited 42 houses, a school and a mosque. The cries of the dying could be heard amid the explosions. The villagers huddled in the grass could see Israeli soldiers slouching in the doorways of.their homes, smoking and joking, their young faces illuminated by the flames. By 3 a.m., the Israelis' work was done, and they leisurely withdrew.

At dawn, the villagers crept out of the grass and made for the smoldering ruins, looking desperately for a husband, a wife, a child. They crowded around a young girl whose body sprawled grotesquely, forefinger raised to heaven as Moslems do when they say: "There is only one God, and Mohammed is his prophet." An old man dug furiously in the debris, occasionally looked up, terror in his eyes, then laughed hysterically. Once he shouted to the sky: "Allah! I have no relations now. Why didn't you leave me one person?" Sixty-six died that night; eleven from one family, ten of another. It was the bloodiest night of border warfare since the 1949 armistice—the armistice that won Dr. Ralph Bunche the Nobel Peace Prize, but brought no peace.

http://www.time.com/time/magazine/ar...818976,00.html

The Israeli Foreign Office, contrary to its usual custom, did not attempt to deny the attack; not until four days later did a spokesman claim with straight face that the soldiers involved were not regulars but Allied veterans of World War II, now farming on the frontier, who had "lost patience." But the historical record shows that it was sanctioned by acting Prime Minister Moshe Sharrett, and was planned by Defence Minister Pinhas Lavon, the Chief of the General Staff Mordecai Maklef, and the Chief of Operations, General Moshe Dayan, in concert with vacationing Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion and carried out by Unit 101 under the command of Ariel Sharon.

The Qibya (Israel-Jordan) Incident: United Nations Security Council Resolution, November 24, 1953 (1)

The Security Council,
Recalling its previous resolutions on the Palestine question particularly those of 15 July 1948, 11 August 1949,(2) and 18 May 1951 concerning methods for maintaining :the armistice and resolving disputes through the Mixed Armistice Commissions,
Noting the reports of 27 October 1953 and 9 November 1953 to the Security Council by the Chief of Staff of the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization and the statements to the Security Council by the representatives of Jordan and Israel,
A

Finds that the retaliatory action at Qibya taken by armed forces of Israel on 14-16 October 1953 and all such actions constitute a violation of the ceasefire provisions of the Security Council resolution of 15 July 1948 and are inconsistent with the parties' obligations under the General Armistice Agreement and the Charter;
Expresses the strongest censure of that action, which can only prejudice the chances of that peaceful settlement which both parties, in accordance with the Charter, are bound to seek, and calls upon Israel to take effective measures to prevent all such actions in the future;
B

Takes note of the fact that there is substantial evidence of crossing of the demarcation line by unauthorized persons, often resulting in acts of violence, and requests the Government of Jordan to continue and strengthen the measures which it is already taking to prevent such crossings;
Recalls to the Governments of Israel and Jordan their obligations under Security Council resolutions and the General Armistice Agreement to prevent all acts of violence on either side of the demarcation line
Calls upon the Governments of Israel and Jordan to ensure the effective co-operation of local security forces;
C

Reaffirms that it is essential, in order to achieve progress by peaceful means towards a lasting settlement of the issues outstanding between them, that the parties abide by their obligations under the General Armistice Agreement and the resolutions of the Security Council;
Emphasizes the obligation of the Governments of Israel and Jordan to co-operate fully with the Chief of Staff of the Truce Supervision Organization;
Requests the Secretary-General to consider, with the Chief of Staff, the best ways of strengthening the Truce Supervision Organization and to furnish such additional personnel and assistance as the Chief of Staff of the Truce Supervision Organization may require for the performance of his duties;
Requests the Chief of Staff of the Truce Supervision Organization to report within three months to the Security Council with such recommendations as he may consider appropriate on compliance with and enforcement of the General Armistice Agreements, with particular reference to the provisions of this resolution and taking into account any agreement reached in pursuance of the request by the Government of Israel for the convocation of a conference under article XII of the General Armistice Agreement between Israel and Jordan.(3)

err... it looks like the same argument could be used against the PLO in the so-called Karantina Massacre that predated Damour. It was "controlled" by the PLO. I should think they could have stopped the carnage, if they were actually in control as the article states??? Are you telling us that PLO forces allowed Kurds and Armenians (mostly Christian?) under their control to be slaughtered?
