The Druze militia were operating under order's from Ariel Sharon, just as Afghan soldiers have been operating under US orders there. To suggest that Israel was not responsible for the Sabra and Shatilla massacres flies in the face of historic fact, which is agreed upon by the world community.Israeli Defense Forces have gone so far beyond "defending their homeland" in the past 72 hours, their brutality has stunned the world community. They are not allowing Red Crescent and UN medical personnel to pick up and treat wounded civilians, they are firing upon international peace activists in the region acting as independent observers, they have prevented the Christian church leaders of Jerusalem from entering Bethlehem who are attempting to negotiate an end to the hostage situation in the Church of the Nativity, and on and on and on.
