Jim, the only thing in your first paste job that contadicts israel's version is this.
"And in the hours and days after the massacres, many Palestinian men and boys were rounded up and trucked away, never to be seen again"

It is an obvious lie. ICRC and other NGOs, plus the world press were there and would have seen it.

You claim that the second pasting is from NY Times, but it is not.
It is from something called The Institute of Palestine studies, and is all bollocks.

The next NYTimes bit is genuine but does not contradicts Israel's version.
Extracts,
"It was impossible for a reporter who was not in the camp when the killings took place to determine with any certainty whether the Christian militiamen had acted on orders of the Israeli Army or whether they had gone on a killing spree without the knowledge of the Israeli command.

(In Jerusalem, Israeli officials deplored the slayings and said that Israeli troops had intervened, at one point with force, to prevent the Phalangists from killing more people.)"

"By late afternoon 500 to 600 men were huddled together under several tiers of the stadium awaiting questioning. The men were being provided with food and water, and anyone in need of medical attention was being treated."

"According to residents of Shatila and reporters who visited the main street of the camp Friday (day 2)evening, things were relatively calm in the area. "

"The Christian militiamen also stormed the Palestinian Akka Hospital, from which the International Committee of the Red Cross was trying to remove some of the wounded patients. Reliable Western medical sources who were at the hospital said a Palestinian nurse was repeatedly raped and shot dead by Christian militiamen, and several doctors from the hospital were taken off."
We now know these "reliable sources" were lying!

To be continued.
