C'mon Jim explain to us how a bulldozer digs a mass grave - you obviously believe it, simply because someone said it did - so you should be able to tell us how it is done.

The use of bulldozers were reported on by witnesses
The fact that they were used is not disputed.

Yes, and?

There is no evidence for Israelis burying bodies. The Phalange may well have buried or trucked some out, but not hundreds without leaving a trace.

Report of the Kahan commission enquiry Lewiston Daily Sun Nov 2nd 1982
The commission members questioned them closely on evidence that could have implied Israeli Involvement
The witnesses said they saw as many as 10 bulldozers working in the Chatilla camp as they were led out of the area Saturday morning Sept. 18. Israeli officers acknowledged allowing entry of only one bulldozer, for clearing rubble.
It was later learned that the bulldozers were being used to hide evidence of the massacre and dig mass graves.
Ms. Siegel said she saw three bulldozers, each marked with a single Hebrew letter, which could have been an Israeli army Insignia.

None of that is true except that one dozer was supplied to clear rubble.
Why not look at the actual commission report instead of the Lewiston Daily Sun?!

In the 2005 Swiss-French-German-Lebanese co-produced documentary Massaker six former Lebanese Forces soldiers who participated personally in the massacre stated there was direct Israeli participation. One of them said that he saw Israeli soldiers driving bulldozers into inhabited houses inside the camp. Another said that Israeli soldiers provided the Lebanese Forces soldiers with material to dispose of the corpses lying around in the streets.
Benny Morris is Israel's leading official historian on Israeli conflict

Eye witness account given to the BBC by a British witness:
1982: Sabra and Shatila - after the atrocity
Deborah Thornton-Jackson was married to a Lebanese businessman. They lived in Beirut with their young family during the 1970s and 1980s.
In September 1982, Israel invaded Lebanon, and a Christian Lebanese militia massacred hundreds of Palestinians living in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps.
After the atrocity, Deborah drove to a hospital in Gaza to help tend to the wounded and dying.
I spent 20 years in the Lebanon - first going out there in 1969 as an air stewardess. I later married a Christian Lebanese named Elie.
We lived in Beirut. On and off I would leave when the situation got bad, when it got too hot to handle. I would have to get the girls out, our children, back to safety.
Some of the things I experienced were traumatic. I find it very hard sometimes to recount the shocking events that took place and one in particular - the Israeli invasion in 1982. I've buried an awful lot.
The night that the Israelis actually came in and surrounded the camps, we were at our villa in East Beirut, on the Christian side.
Aircraft came over periodically during the day flying low and showing their presence with a few bombs which created a lot of smoke.
Then we heard that the Phalangists had actually gone into the camps and that the Israelis had more or less surrounded them.
There were flares in the sky which we could see that lit up the surrounding area. We knew what they were doing.
I just felt I had to go and help these people. I had a tremendous sympathy for the Palestinian people at that time, which my husband could never understand.
Children, women, animals, anything that moved - they had massacred
I had a friend who was a Palestinian doctor. He worked at Gaza Hospital which is in between the camps of Sabra and Shatila.
On the Saturday (18 September) I got in my little Renault 5 and I went own to downtown Beirut as I had known it.
I went to Gaza Hospital to see Khalid the doctor friend of mine, and see if they needed any help.
The scenes at Gaza Hospital were just horrendous. It was panic, absolute panic, there were people running everywhere.
I said: "Look I have a training of first aid, that's all. If I can help I would love to."
They said anybody was welcome that could tie a bandage or put a plaster on.
What will always stick in my memory is of a little boy that had come from the camps, and his little body had no limbs.
I can remember just holding him, holding his little body close. He was covered with blood and the life was running out of him. He was crying for his mother.
The next day, I went back. I think Elie was terribly angry with me for doing this. His opinion was to rid Beirut of the "rubbish", as he would put it, of the Palestinian people. We would have endless arguments about this.
I went into the camps with the Red Cross but too late. Nobody had been allowed in.
Bulldozers had gone in to bury bodies. They had also bulldozed buildings with people still inside, families still watching television, or having dinner.
They bulldozed these people. They massacred these people. I saw bodies, piles of bodies, heaped up, mutilated, and believe me they hadn't been shot.
It was like a scene from what I would have imagined happened in World War Two to the Jews. They had been executed.
Children, women, animals, anything that moved - they had massacred.
The Phalangists that I spoke to afterwards - they enjoyed doing what they had done.
What could I say? Were they going to listen to me? I said to them: "How can you justify what you've done?"
It was horror in there, it was horror. The stench, the massacre. They are war crimes.
But I shall certainly never forget. Of all the horrors and atrocities, and of the many things that have happened to me when I was in Beirut, nothing can come close to what I witnessed in these camps. Nothing.

Eye witness account by a woman on the scene
".. they had put the men on one side and the women on the other… The armed men ordered us to walk in front, and the men behind. We walked like this until we got to the communal grave. There, the bulldozer started digging. Among us was a man who was wearing a white nurse's shirt; they called him and filled him with bullets in front of everyone. The women started screaming. The Israelis posted in front of the Kuwaiti embassy and in front of the Rihab station requested through loudspeakers that we be handed over to them. That's how we found ourselves in their hands. They took us to the Sports Centre, and the men were supposed to walk behind us. But they took the men's shirts off and started blindfolding them. At the Sports Centre, the Israelis submitted the young people to an interrogation, and the Phalangists delivered 200 people to them. And that's how neither my husband nor my sister's husband ever came back." Sana Mahmoud Sersawi

You have produced nothing but ludicrous accusations.

Your pathetic claim of "decent nations" is imbecilic.

My claim that no decent democracy holds Israel responsible for that massacre is a straight fact that you deny but can produce no example of.

Teribus' claim had any basis, Israel would have put it forward decades ago?

They did. They held an enquiry. Nurse Siegel and other staff from the hospital testified at it and ICRC was part of it. (ICRC did the burials.)

the "decent democratic" world would be up on its feet in protest at the massive injustice being done to Gallant Little Israel by accusing them of these crimes.

No, because no-one takes such ludicrous propaganda seriously, except people like you.

You have been given a list of what Israel did to 3,500 unarmed refugees - all backed up by researched and fully accepted facts

No we have not. Just ludicrous unsubstantiated propaganda.

You refuse to respond to them

Completely untrue. My recent posts have been uncharacteristically long because I have included point by point rebuttals of all your claims.

Aren't the perpetrators of the Tianamen Square massacre involved in building Britain a nuclear power station?
Didn't the British Prime Minister pay his respects to the late patriarch of Saudi Arabia while a protester was being administered 1,000 lashes for speaking his mind?
Don't we sell weapons to human rights monsters?
What ****** planet do you live on.?
Hasn't it occurred to your equally moronic mate that if his dahn the pub mate's claim had any basis, Israel would have put it forward decades ago?
Instead - the claim comes from your little two- man(sort of) pro-Israeli propaganda Roneo duplicator machine.
Taking your own argument to its logical conclusion - if Israel is as innocent as you claim, the "decent democratic" world would be up on its feet in protest at the massive injustice being done to Gallant Little Israel by accusing them of these crimes.
Isnstead THEY ARE SILENT JUST AS THEY ARE DOING DEALS WITH THE TIANAMEN SQUARE PERPETRATORS, OR ATTENDING THE FUNERALS OF DESPOTS - OR SELLING ARMS TO MONSTERS
Britain has as shaky a reputation on human rights as has America - two massacres in the 20th century - both on a (Bloody) Sunday.
We locked up six innocent men for seventeen years, knowing they were innocent.
Thatcher described the mass murder, torture and rape of young Chilean protesters as "democracy" and described those who attempted to bring the perpetrator to justice as "running a police state".
It will ve interesting to see the outcome of the now considered enquiry into Orgreave (no question of which side you will be on there)

You and Jim have tried to stifle that discussion by dredging up incidents in Lebanon 34 years ago!

On Question Time with the 2 leadership contenders, Smith spoke of the "problem" of antisemitism in the Party, and claimed that most Jewish members did not regard Chakrabarti's report as adequate, and it had not treated the issue seriously.
Corbyn said he was aware of suspensions before he became leader, and had received reports of antisemitic statements and behaviour at Party events.

Your arguments have been dead in the water for decades - it happened as it is documented to have happened - end of story.
It wasn't unique - it was one of many atrocities carried out by Israel, in fact it was the most blatant and the largest.
And no - it doesn't matter that others were - and ar guilty of carrying out the same.
It was a crime against humanity facilitated and participated in by a terrorist state against a mass of unarmed civilian men, women and children The crime went unpunished and the leading perpetrator was appointed Prime Minister, tuning that crime from a military one into one perpetrated, condoned by the state, which attempted to cover it up.

Labour MP Complains Of Bullying After Corbyn's Team Names 'Abusive' MPs

"An unnamed Labour MP has complained to the chief whip about bullying after Jeremy Corbyn's team issued a roll call of MPs it claims have abused the leader and his allies.

Earlier on Wednesday, the list was issued of 13 MPs that the leader's office accused of being abusive.

It included vocal backbencher Jess Phillips for telling Corbyn's ally Diane Abbott to "fuck off", MP John Woodcock for dismissing the party leader as a "fucking disaster" and former Shadow Education Secretary Tristram Hunt for describing Labour as "in the shit".

"She reported seeing the bulldozers on the site - the help with digging the graves is a known fact" - Jim Carroll

Now I asked a pal of mine who operates heavy plant machinery about this and his answer prompts me to ask you yet another question that you will no doubt ignore Jim:

Explain to us all how you would use a bulldozer to excavate a mass grave?

His take on the problem was as follows:

The area you would require would be massive.

You could only do it by "scuffing" the earth and that would take an eternity to transition into and out of the hole until you reach your target depth.

You would have to keep stopping and starting to clear and reposition the spoil heap. You would have to reposition all the spoil to fill in any hole.

That he said would be difficult enough in open fields - in a built up area in the centre of a city? Impossible.

That Jim is why when carrying out earthworks professional construction engineers use "Excavators" for digging holes NOT bulldozers - for a mass grave Jim you do need a hole don't you?

"In the face of masses of evidence you have been given, eye witness accounts, press reports, inquiries, you say no evidence of Israel's culpability in the massacre has been produced"

1: Carroll you wouldn't recognise what actually does fall into what is acceptable as "Evidence" if it jumped up and bit you.

2: Judging by what she herself has written your Jewish "eye witness" actually saw very little, much of what she does claim would be classified as hearsay and surmise - not admissible as "evidence".

3: Press reports are notoriously inaccurate, biased and unreliable - not evidence.

4: Inquiries? Kahan Commission stated that Israel was indirectly responsible, MacBride Inquiry stated that Israel was Probably" indirectly responsible - probably infers a fair degree of what in an English Court of law would constitute "Reasonable Doubt" in any criminal action. So here we have the Israeli Inquiry into the events at Sabra-Shatila more damning than the International Inquiry. There have been no thorough investigations undertaken into the events at Sabra-Shatila, the Lebanese put a cap on them and forbade any investigations. Your figure of 3,500 dead is an unverified guestimate at best, certainly not the authenticated, verified and documented figure that you originally put forward. Your sports stadium with it's "secret" mass grave has been sitting there for anybody to examine for decades - tell us why it has not been opened and examined?

5: Keith A is perfectly correct no cast iron solid evidence of Israeli involvement has ever been produced and no rock solid irrefutable evidence has ever been offered up that shows them to be directly responsible for what happened. The UN wanted the IDF out of Beirut and out of South Lebanon, to comply with this the IDF therefore had to hand over to someone, the largest faction to had over to were the coalition of militias known as the "Lebanese Forces". When Arafat scuttled out of the Lebanon he was supposed to have taken ALL of his "fighters" with him - he didn't.

It is evidence. I have it in front of me and it is entirely consistent with Israel's version of events.

If Robert Fisk's account of the massacre based on his own researches isn't "evidence" what is it.

When he entered the camp he saw nothing to implicate Israel. By his "researches" you mean talking to Palestinians months later, who like the ones from Jenin say what they are told to say.

It is evidence, but it failed to find Israel directly responsible.

You continue to make pathetic claims about how the massacre was carried out and why illumination was necessary for it to continue over three nights.

TWO NIGHTS!! Were there flares on the second night? There was no third night. Look it up Jim.
Flares are needed for military operations but are quite superfluous for random murder in a crowded camp.

You have not produced one single account which contradicts those claims

Yes I have. Siegel and Fiske. I quoted both. You have produced nothing until now.

other than those made by the Israeli perpetrators

I have quoted no Israelis. You lie.

This massacre could not happened without Israel's active participation under the command of Ariel Sharon, Amos Yaron, and others. Israel prevented terrified residents from leaving, they supplied the flares to the Phalange in order to light up neighborhoods so they could find their victims, they lent a bulldozer to help bury bodies, they were in communication with the murderers, and they could see what was going on in the camps.
Ellen Seigal

That is her opinion but nothing she saw or said in her testimony supports that view.

" there was no doubt in my mind that the Israeli Defence Forces officials and soldiers, using sophisticated binoculars, could clearly see what was happening in those camps.
Ellen Seigal

Perhaps she thinks sophisticated binoculars can see through walls.
She was unable to see anything even from the roof of the hospital deep within the camp.

you claim "It does not implicate Israelis in the massacre"

Her testimony which she gave to the Kahan Commission, and her journal from the time, records nothing to implicate Israelis.

"Probably" is rather inconclusive, but I do not remember them using that word. Quote please.
I recall they could only say, "directly or indirectly" responsible and Israel accepts indirect responsibility.

no independent group has ever absolved them

Of course not. That is not what they do.

- human rights groups have declared them wholly responsible

How would they know what happened?
Members of the ICRC were in the hospital on day 2, and they moved in on the morning of day 3. They do not implicate Israel in the massacre.

So you rape a woman, cut her throat and disembowel her CARRYING A ***** torch
You catch an adult and shoot him or hack him to death carrying a torch.

If it actually happened at night yes. Fighters carry torches at night and such people as these would be in roaming gangs, not individuals.
Flares do not work indoors anyway, and all those other massacres were achieved without them.

"Remind me of some you have provided because I can think of none!"
Than you are either lying or illiterate

I am neither. Why can you not find anything Jim?

You have just been given Ellen Siegal's account of the massacre - is it not evidence because she wasn't there, or maybe because she was "a self-hating Jew"

I have it in front of me. It does not implicate Israelis in the massacre. It is entirely consistent with their version of events.

No inquiry has found Israel directly responsible, so there is a lie from you straight away.

Eye witness accounts implicating Israelis did not appear for a suspiciously long time, and we know that lying eye witnesses can always be found against Israel.

Only one journalist entered the camp in the immediate aftermath, and he found nothing to implicate Israelis.

Sabra Shatila was totally without public lighting - the victims were dragged from their tiny dwellings, the wonen were raped and disemboweled in the lanes, the men were butchered - all in total darkness????

Why not? Or you could use a torch, or do it in daylight.
There were no flares for all those other massacres.

"Most were killed in their homes"

You keep on about the flares.
You do not need flares to murder people in a crowded camp, so they are irrelevant to the issue.
Most were killed in their homes where the light of flares would not penetrate anyway. Or, it could have been done in daylight.
Either way, the flares are irrelevant.

You do need flares to identify enemy positions and fighters in the dark, so the flares support Israel's version of events, not yours.

The Lebanese Christian Phalangist militia was responsible for the massacres that occurred at the two Beirut-area refugee camps on September 16-17, 1982. Israeli troops allowed the Phalangists to enter Sabra and Shatila to root out terrorist cells believed located there. It had been estimated that there may have been up to 200 armed men in the camps working out of the countless bunkers built by the PLO over the years, and stocked with generous reserves of ammunition.

When Israeli soldiers ordered the Phalangists out, they found hundreds dead (estimates range from 460 according to the Lebanese police, to 700-800 calculated by Israeli intelligence). The dead, according to the Lebanese account, included 35 women and children. The rest were men: Palestinians, Lebanese, Pakistanis, Iranians, Syrians and Algerians. The killings came on top of an estimated 95,000 deaths that had occurred during the civil war in Lebanon from 1975-1982.

The killings were perpetrated to avenge the murders of Lebanese President Bashir Gemayel and 25 of his followers, killed in a bomb attack earlier that week.

Israel had allowed the Phalange to enter the camps as part of a plan to transfer authority to the Lebanese, and accepted responsibility for that decision. The Kahan Commission of Inquiry, formed by the Israeli government in response to public outrage and grief, found that Israel was indirectly responsible for not anticipating the possibility of Phalangist violence. Israel instituted the panel's recommendations, including the dismissal of Gen. Raful Eitan, the Army Chief of Staff. Defense Minister Ariel Sharon resigned.

The Kahan Commission, declared former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, was "a great tribute to Israeli democracy....There are very few governments in the world that one can imagine making such a public investigation of such a difficult and shameful episode."

Ironically, while 300,000 Israelis demonstrated in Israel to protest the killings, little or no reaction occurred in the Arab world. Outside the Middle East, a major international outcry against Israel erupted over the massacres. The Phalangists, who perpetrated the crime, were spared the brunt of the condemnations for it.

By contrast, few voices were raised in May 1985, when Muslim militiamen attacked the Shatila and Burj-el Barajneh Palestinian refugee camps. According to UN officials, 635 were killed and 2,500 wounded. During a two-year battle between the Syrian-backed Shiite Amal militia and the PLO, more than 2,000, including many civilians, were reportedly killed. No outcry was directed at the PLO or the Syrians and their allies over the slaughter. International reaction was also muted in October 1990 when Syrian forces overran Christian-controlled areas of Lebanon. In the eight-hour clash, 700 Christians were killed-the worst single battle of Lebanon's Civil War.

Ellen Seigal - Jewish Eye-witness to the massacre - a truly "self-hating Jew"

An open letter to the survivors of the Sabra and Shatila massacre
Ellen Siegel International Campaign for Justice for the Victims of Sabra and Shatila 29 June 2003
Ellen Siegel is a registered nurse. She volunteered her expertise and services at the Gaza Hospital in Sabra Camp in Beirut in 1982, and was there during the massacre. She testified as a witness befoe the Kahan Commission of Inquiry in Jerusalem in late 1982. Ms. Siegel is the Vice-Chair of the Medical Committee of American Near East Refugee Aid, a member of the Middle East Committee of the Peace Commission of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, and active in the Jewish peace movement. She currently works as a community mental health nurse for a non-profit organization. She wrote the following letter to her friends and fellow massacre survivors and witnesses in Beirut in the wake of Belgium's decision to weaken its universal jurisdiction (anti-atrocity) legislation in response to pressure from the US Government.

July 29, 2003
My dear friends,
I met many of you last September, on the 20th anniversary of the massacre at Sabra and Shatila. I had not been back to Beirut, or to the camps, or to Gaza Hospital, where I had worked as a nurse, since the summer of 1982.
I wanted to return, to re-trace my steps. I wanted to remember, to be there beside you, to stand in solidarity with you. Most of all, I wanted to honor and pay tribute to you and your loved ones.
I would like to share my experience with you.
My first day, at sunrise, I headed for the camps. I was dropped off at what had been the entrance to the hospital, the very spot where we nurses and doctors were told to assemble twenty years ago by the Phalangist militia. I was met and accompanied by a Palestinian woman familiar with the camps.
What had once been a place where Palestinians and Lebanese living in the camps came to have their babies, went to have operations performed, where clinics once served the medical needs of the camp inhabitants and where a huge Red Cross banner once hung, had now become an almost uninhabitable place for displaced persons.
Now, the entrance is dark, foul smelling, rat infested, and piled with trash. You need matches or a flashlight to find the steps leading to the stairway and to light the stairwell. Palestinian, Lebanese, and possibly other Arab nationals squat in this building. The well they use for water had recently been destroyed. Wires hung from ceilings and walls, hooking up electrical power. Conditions are extremely unhealthy.
I walked up to the ninth floor and looked out. I could see the entire camp; the streets, the alleyways, and the top of what had been the Israeli Forward Command Post. The last time I looked out from this spot two decades earlier, it had been at night. What I saw then were flares being shot into the air, which were used to illuminate areas of the camp. After seeing this, twenty years later, with my naked eye, there was no doubt in my mind that the Israeli Defence Forces officials and soldiers, using sophisticated binoculars, could clearly see what was happening in those camps.
I then proceeded down Sabra Street. It is much denser, more crowded than it was in 1982. I was taken to shelters were people tried to hide during those terrible days, I saw the walls that had bullet holes where mass executions occurred. The complexity of the winding alleyways and warrens in these camps makes carrying out an operation such as the massacre very difficult. It could not have happened haphazardly. Planning and coordination had to occur.
The mass grave, at the end of the main street, was being spruced up for the anniversary. A brick wall now covers the spot where a firing squad lined up the health care workers. I walked past the Kuwaiti Embassy. There is now a statue and a roundabout before you come to what had been an abandoned UN building used for interrogating us. A brick wall now covers the spot. The building used by the Israelis as their Command Post remains. Standing at that spot, you overlook the camps.
I returned to visit with you several times. I met with survivors and families of martyrs. I attended the commemoration march and walked hand in hand with you. I attended the ceremony at the gravesite. I brought roses, together we placed them on the soil. I silently recited Kaddish, the Hebrew prayer for the dead. My last visit to the grave was a few days after the formal ceremony. It was then that I saw the silent grieving of loved ones. I realized, sadly, that yet another generation of Palestinian refugees was growing up in those deplorable camps.
The Palestinian women in these camps are extraordinary. Through no fault of your own you have spent most of your adult life moving from one squalid camp to another. You once thrived in villages in mainly northern Palestine. You farmed, harvested crops, and raised livestock. You were self-supporting. Throughout this incredible ordeal of becoming a refugee you have remained strong and proud. You have not lost your dignity. I have only the greatest respect for you.
You are such patient people. You wait to return to your homeland, you wait for justice. Every once in a while there is a ray of hope, like when Belgium passed an anti-atrocity law. You thought that Ariel Sharon, Amos Yaron and others responsible for that massacre would be tried as war criminals. Some of you traveled to Belgium, many of you gave detailed accounts of those dark days twenty years ago. You pulled out large framed and yellowing photos of your loved ones - you shared memories. For a while it seemed that there would be a hearing. At last, plaintiffs/survivors would be able to tell their story before an official court. But, it seems, this is not meant to be. Due to enormous pressure on the government of Belgium, mainly from Israel and the US, justice will be eluded once again.
This massacre could not happened without Israel's active participation under the command of Ariel Sharon, Amos Yaron, and others. Israel prevented terrified residents from leaving, they supplied the flares to the Phalange in order to light up neighborhoods so they could find their victims, they lent a bulldozer to help bury bodies, they were in communication with the murderers, and they could see what was going on in the camps. The Israeli Commission of Inquiry found that Sharon bore indirect responsibility - a decision questioned by many outside of Israel's establishment. The Phalange militia carried out the actual slaughter of men, women, and children. In seeking justice, we must not ignore this fact.
The Palestinians cannot get a fair hearing in Israel. The Israeli government just announced that they were not responsible for Rachel Corrie's death. It seems the driver of a bulldozer did not see her standing there waving her arms. Rachel Corrie, a US citizen, did not get a fair hearing.
Your friends from around the world will once again try to help you. We will write letters, make phone calls, send e-mails, and write articles, op ed pieces and the like. As you sit and wait, remember that your cause is heard. I do not know how many more generations you will have to wait. Do not despair. We will continue to seek justice on your behalf.
Our thoughts are with you.

ARAB CONCEPT OF REVENGE
ƒ The Arab concept of revenge is a strong
cultural force.
ƒ The Old Testament's and Qur'an's passages
that advocate "an eye for an eye" dominate
Arab culture.
ƒ The conflict continues even after the
belligerents have killed each other off, because
previously uninvolved family and/or tribal
members expand the fight seeking revenge.
https://fas.org/irp/agency/army/arabculture.pdf
(page 29)

He (tribal leader) must also uphold the main facets
of tribal values, surrounding honour ('ird or sharaf), hospitality (karama),
warriorhood (shahama) and revenge (tha'ar). In addition, a shaykh has to
project an image of strength, primarily by maintaining the tribe's status in
respect to neighbouring and potentially hostile tribes around it.

Thanks again Keith you've saved me the trouble of informing Shaw and Jim about the Lebanese Civil War that ran from 1975 to 1990. The Civil War that was started on Nasser's orders by the Palestinian "refugees" who had just been kicked out of Jordan after their failed attempt at taking over that country. "Palestinian" refugees sent into Lebanon by Egypt, Syria and Iraq.

Jom seems to think that the Sabra-Shatila massacre was the only one that occurred - perhaps he should do a bit of reading and educate himself as to what these "Palestinians" were doing in Lebanon, you too Shaw, don't know if you ever visited that pre-civil war Lebanon, Beirut the Paris of the middle-east - I did quite a few times between 1972 and 1974 it was absolutely fantastic. Your "Palestinians" completely destroyed it and instigated a fifteen year war that cost the lives of over 250,000 people. That might be why certain sections of the Lebanese population might have been a bit "hacked off" with those who brought about all the mayhem and destruction. Just as the British got more than a little peeved at the Germans during the Second World War over things like the bombing of Coventry - What was it Churchill promised the British people and the citizens of our bombed cities - "We will pay them back 100 fold" - No idle threat - we did.

Usual crap from Jom though - tell us all how over the course of fifteen years the Israelis managed to hide and store all those dead bodies and bury them in secret under a sports stadium they built under the watchful gaze of all those people? You will not offer any explanation because such a feat would be impossible and any sentient human being knows that.

Tell us again Jom about all those "transient" refugee camps - you know the ones, those that have existed since 1948 and are still where they were created by Arabs for Arabs to this very day.

Explain to us all how Arafat having caused all the trouble in Jordan was the first to scurry over the border into Lebanon when Hussain of Jordan's Army got too much for Arafat and his "fighters" who all scurried with him leaving his "people", his "Palestinians" to pick up the tab. He and his "fighters" were also the first to run from the Beirut as well, taking with him his millions of course. Arafat, a coward, a crook and a liar. With "Leaders" like that, no wonder the "Palestinians" find themselves in the mess they are in - but make no mistake about it they have only themselves to blame.

Jim,
the hiding of the hiding of the bodies were gone into in detail - from official records.

What official records? Just more made up shit Jim.

"Jenin"
We even appear to have the wrong massacre here

Jenin is relevant because it shows that Israel's enemies are prepared to lie to implicate Israel in crimes, and produce "eye witnesses" to the lie.

Only Israel found itself not guilty of it's involvement in the massacre

So who found them directly responsible Jim? Anyone? No-one?

ISRAEL'S PART IN THE MASSACRE remains a fact

Yes. They acknowledge their part in it.

you both lie extensively

But, let me guess, you will not produce one single example.
Feel free to prove me wrong.
