"And why do you never express views about the other Arab on Arab massacres at those same refugee camps, and other such camps like the terrible scenes we saw a few weeks ago at Palestinian camps in Syria?"

I deplore ANY massacre, whoever commits the crime and whoever is the victim.

But my post was in direct response to your dismissive comment on one particular massacre.

Unlike you, I don't seek to excuse the actions of one side by repeatedly using the primary school playground "Tommy did it too Miss!" defence.

1. The IDF had the camps surrounded.
2. They admitted the Phalangists, knowing the hatred that group has for the inmates.
3. At best, they stood by and let the slaughter of hundreds of men, women and children continue.

"Israel denies it" is not a credible defence.

In case you missed the allusion to Ms Rice Davies, she famously said "They would say that, wouldn't they"!

It is a huge relief that you are not a judge, as the thought of a serial killer being released because others killed more, is simply appalling.
