Massacre: Beirut Sabra and Shatila Palestinian camps. An investigation
Note: Re-edit of “Investigation into a massacre: Sabra and Chatila by Amnon Kapeliouk (June 17, 2009)”
After I published the post “The culprit: vegetative Ariel Sharon” I got hold of a frightening manuscript that kept me awake all night.
Amnon Kapeliouk published in 1982 a French book “Investigation into a massacre: Sabra and Chatila”. He gathered valuable information from a wide variety of sources both in Israel and in Lebanon. The manuscript describes in 115 pages details of the genocide that was perpetrated in the Palestinian camps in south Beirut from Tuesday September 14 to Monday 20, 1982.
I will end the review with the political and economic reasons for this mindless and bestial slaughter house tale.
Before Tuesday, September 14, 1982
By summer 1981, Israel defense Minister Ariel Sharon had prepared an incursion plan into Lebanon. Israel invaded Lebanon on June 4, 1982 with the avowed intention of limiting the incursion to 40 kilometers and cleaning up pockets of Palestinian resistance in south Lebanon.
In the Knesset on June 8, Menachem Begin PM describes the Palestinians “animals with two legs”.
During a monster demonstration on July 17 in Tel Aviv Menachem Begin PM declared “By the end of this year we will have signed a peace treaty with Lebanon.”
The Israeli incursion extended to the Capital Beirut, leaving 20,000 civilian dead and 30,000 severely injured.
“Plan Reagan” of September 2 denied Israel the annexation of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Israel was pressured to end this invasion and Ariel Sharon would repeatedly answer “Patience gentlemen; the fruit of this war will be obvious soon”
Minister Yaakov Meridor sent a directive to the Israeli army related to the Palestinian refugees stating: “Force the Palestinians to flee toward East Lebanon to the borders with Syria. Do not let them return”
The Israeli army (Tsahal) did their best to totally demolish the Palestinian camps in south Lebanon, in Tyr, and Saida; it effected mass slaughter among the refugees.
This directive failed because the Palestinian refugees had nowhere else to go. It was obviously that the main objective of this war was to evacuate most of the Palestinians out of Lebanon and toward Syria.
Israel knew that Lebanon was too small, weak, and with a social and political confessional fabric that would never allow the majority Palestinian Sunnis residency status. Since the sole objective is to practically cancel out UN resolution 194 for the “right of return” of the refugees to their homeland Palestine then the other alternative was to kill as many as they could.
Ariel Sharon bombarded Beirut for three weeks and closed off all access to the Capital. The Lebanese political leaders in Beirut urged Arafat to leave Beirut and a deal with President Reagan’s special envoy Philip Habib stipulated that the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) headed by Yasser Arafat and 12,000 strong was to be evacuated to Cyprus on French navies and then head to Tunisia.
The PLO left Lebanon and the camps were left undefended.
The multinationals of the USA, France, and Italy (supposed by the deal to defend the civilians) vacated their posts around the Palestinian camps by order of Israel.
During the early years of the civil war in Lebanon there were three camps in the Christian districts such the ones in Dbayeh, Jesr al Basha, and Tell al Zaatar.
The Christian militias overran these camps and forced the evacuation of the Christian Palestinians by military activities, genocide, and terror. These camps were prime Real Estates and the developers, the deputies and ministers of the Metn district made a fortune.
As Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982, the “Lebanese Forces” and Real Estates developers had plans for the even higher value Estates in Chatila and Sabra Palestinian camps in Beirut. They figured that they will rule Lebanon alongside the Israelis.
Tuesday, September 14, 1982; (Iron Brain Operation):
The Israeli army is stationed on the outskirts of Beirut on all sides. Multinational forces of the USA, France, and Italy were brought in to protect the Palestinian civilians in the camps around Beirut.
Bachir Gemayel was elected President of the Lebanese Republic on August 23 under the bayonet of the Israeli army. (Deputies were brought in Israeli tanks to vote).
Bachir Gemayel (34 years old) was the closest ally to Israel since the civil war broke out in April 13, 1975 and he headed the Christian militias named “The Lebanese Forces” that united the Phalange Party, the Party of Camille Chamoun, and other fringe parties by coercion and frightful infighting.
“The Lebanese Forces” had received from Israel military training, military sophisticated hardware, logistics, and military intelligence. Israel Menachem Began PM and Ariel Sharon (Defense Minister) expected immediate peace pact to be signed by Bashir.
Bashir was reluctant to officially sign any peace treaty before he discuss with Arab leaders and consolidate his power.
The day before his formal appointment as President, and at 4:10 p.m. a charge of 50 kilos of TNT explodes at the above flat where Bachir was meeting with his supporters in Ashrafieh.
Sharon had accurate intelligence of the status and location of of Bachir within minutes. The Media and radios would refrain from declaring Bachir dead until 10:30 p.m.
By 6 p.m. Israel has established an air bridge to land tanks and soldiers in Beirut airport. Sharon and Begin PM agree to enter the Capital Beirut without consulting with their cabinet of ministers. An already detailed military plan for invading West Beirut is unfolded in the Defense Ministry.
Wednesday, September 15; (Israel occupies the first Arab Capital)
General Amir Drori, commander of Northern Israel region, receive the order at 12:30 a.m. to take over the strategic points in West Beirut. At 3:30 a.m. commanders of the Christian militias known as “Lebanese Forces” are assembled in their headquarters on the outskirt of south Beirut close to the Israeli headquarter.
The Israeli Generals Rafael Eytan (Falfoul) and Amir Drori are discussing plans with the militia officers Fadi Frem, Elie Hobeika, Emile 3id, Michel Zouein, Deeb Anastase, Maroun Mich3alani, Joseph Edde and the liaison “Jessy”. They are ironing out details of the invasion of the Christian milias into the Palestinian camps of Sabra and Chatila.
The “Lebanese Forces” militia got busy painting their logos on walls and trees with directional arrows for troop’s movement from Chouweifat to Kuwait Embassy. At 5 a.m. the Israeli forces have cordoned off both Palestinian camps. By 9 a.m. Ariel Sharon is observing the deployment from a tall building close to the Kuwait Embassy and overlooking the camps, 200 meters away.
Sharon finds time at 1 a.m. to fly to Bikfaya and present his condolences to the Gemayel family; he is received coldly. The Lebanese army in West Beirut refuses to cooperate with Tsahal. By nightfall electricity power is shut off in West Beirut. By 10 p.m. rockets for lighting the Palestinian camps are launched at the rate of two per minutes at each launching point.
Thursday, September 16 (Felicitations! Our friends are entering the camps)
By noon, West Beirut has completely fallen and Tsahal is rounding up thousands of Lebanese at checkpoints. The Palestinian camps are shelled and Israeli snipers are active.
At noon General Drori asks Fadi Frem if his militias are ready to enter the camps. They are ready and 1,500 Christian militias receive the green light for action. They assemble by the airport and the Israeli General Amos Yaron exhibit to them aerial maps.
General Yaron confirms that Tsahal will deliver all the logistics and supplies for the “cleaning up of the camps“. The Christian militias were never shy proclaiming at every occasion to the Israeli officers that they meant a thorough slaughter of babies, women, and elderly Palestinians.
The Phalangists (Kataeb) used to utter their motto “A dead Palestinian is pollution. The extermination of all Palestinian refugees in Lebanon is the solution”
A unit of 150 Christian’ militias crosses from Ouzai to the Lebanese army barrack of Henri Chehab to their headquarters at the UN building.
The Israeli checkpoints let 25 jeeps packed of militias enter the camp of Chatila at 4 p.m. The frightened civilian Palestinians go to the Israeli headquarter ad expressed their strong concerns. They are told to return and not be worried.
A detachment of soldiers of the splintered Lebanese army in south Lebanon and commanded by Major Saad Haddad, the stooge to Israel, arrives to the outskirts of Chatila. Before 5 p.m. the dirty wolves were inside the chicken hen.
Within an hour, hundreds of Palestinian civilians, babies, women, and elderly are slaughtered by machetes, knives, and hatchets.
Palestinians and Lebanese within the camps, regardless of being Christians or Muslims, are killed while having supper. The militias cut off limbs of women to grab bracelets attached in their forearms before finishing off their victims. Babies’ skulls are smashed on walls. Women are raped before being killed. Nine Jewish women who married Palestinians long time ago were also killed.
During the night delegations of Palestinians arrive at Israel’s headquarter to explain the situation and they are repulsed to the camps; most of the members of the delegations disappeared.
A militia demands a stretcher for a few wounded companions and explains “We have finished off more than 250 dirty Palestinians”.
By 11 p.m. a militia commander had expedited to the highest military Israeli echelons a succinct report stating “As of now 300 terrorists have been eliminated”. The camps were brightly lighted with 81 mm rockets. Two thousand Palestinians take refuge in nearby hospitals named Akka and Gaza.
In Jerusalem at 7:30 p.m. the Israeli cabinet met for 4 hours; Chief of Staff Raphael Eytan quickly goes over the situation in the camps stating “The Phalangists are cleaning up a few nests of terrorists”.
The massacre resumed for the entire night.
The Israeli soldiers were witnessing the genocides and did not move. A single Israeli soldier with a minimum of moral standing and with a minimum of guts could have entered and ordered the militias out; they would have obeyed! Nobody moved. The Israeli soldiers just reported to their higher commanders who knew the plan.
Friday, September 17
At day break and from their posts Israeli soldiers could see people lined up on walls and executed.
The hospitals are invested; foreign physicians and nurses are chased out and everyone inside is killed. An Israeli officer broadcast “It is not done to pleasure us. I forbid you to intervene in the camps.”
Fresh militias, among them “soldiers” of Saad Haddad, enter the camps in jeeps and bulldozers borrowed from the Israeli army.
At 11 a.m. the militias barge into Akka hospital and finish off the injured; they raped a nurse 10 times before killing her.
Forty of the personnel are hoarded into a truck; they will disappear. Bulldozers are digging ditches by the Israeli headquarter; a Norwegian diplomat observe a shoveling truck dumping cadavers into the ditches.
By noon, fresh militias reinforcement are observed by the airport; ten “command cars”, 13 tanks, jeeps, and more bulldozers are filmed by an Israeli TV channel reporter Ron Ben Yichai heading toward the camps. The militias carry with them plenty of alcoholic beverages and hashish.
The Israeli Chief of Staff lands his helicopter at Beirut airport 3:30 p.m. and meet with the militia chief Fadi Frem and congratulates him on “a job well done” because they did not obey the American orders to vacate the camps.
Eytan flies back to his ranch in Tel-Adachim to celebrate Israel’s New Year with his family; he will call Sharon around 9 p.m. to tell him “the Phalangists are exaggerating“.
Today, the militias are shooting bullets to expedite the “clean up” mission. Trucks packed with Palestinians are taken out of camps; the detainees are never heard of.
All night long, with the camps well lighted by Israeli rockets, the bulldozers are destroying the shantytown homes over their inhabitants.
Yesterday, the objective was to terrorize the Palestinians out of camps; they had nowhere to go since the Israeli checkpoints forced them to return to camps.
This night, the goal is to erase the camp completely of any structure and clean up this prime Real Estate. Ben Yichai called up Sharon to inform him of the horrible conditions in the camps and he reported “Ariel Sharon gave me the impression that he was updated thoroughly on the situation”.
In the Israeli headquarters soldiers are eating lavishly, celebrating the New Year, and enjoying the carnage scene overlooking the Palestinian camps. A single Israeli soldier with a minimum of moral standing and with a minimum of balls could have entered and ordered the militias out: they would have obeyed! Nobody moved.
Saturday, September 18, 1982: (No prisoners taken)
At dawn the carnage goes on.
It will resume till after 10 a.m. the time that Israel had decided that the operation should end. At 6 a.m. the loudspeakers of the militias are encouraging the Palestinians to set out of their homes saying “Go out and you will be saved” (Sallimou Tislamou).
Thousands obey the order and they are hoarded into trucks; they will disappear. Many are executed on the way: “It is better to kill the maximum before delivering them to the Israelis”; the roads toward Ouzai are strewn with bodies. The bulldozers and shoveling equipments are working full time.
The hospitals get invested again and the injured achieved. The foreign physicians and nurses witness the activities helplessly.
At exactly 10 a.m. Israeli tanks move toward the camps; it is the signal for the militias to vacate the camps. Over 4,000 Palestinian and Lebanese civilians in camps containing more than 20,000 will be recorded disappeared.
For two weeks, the Lebanese army, Red Cross, and volunteers will not be able to “re-clean up” this human disaster. (To be continued in my posts “Reactions to the genocide”)
Note 1: The Lebanese Shiaa in south Lebanon had strong animosity against the Palestinian fedayeen since 1975 when the civil war started: Israel was constantly shelling and bombing the south “in reprisal” of the Palestinian “katiusha” and the Lebanese government and army had stopped reacting or coming to the aid of its citizens in south Lebanon.
The charismatic leaders of the Shiaa Imam Moussa Sadr managed to control their anger until he “disappeared” in 1978 while on a visit to Libya.
Probably Israel had assassinated Sadr and blamed Kadhafi for the disappearance. Israel knew that as Moussa Sadr is out of the picture then the Shiaa will welcome the Israeli invading forces with rice and joy to get rid of the Palestinian resistance forces.
That is what happened exactly; Shiaa joined the splintered Lebanese army in the south which was commanded by major Saad Haddad, a stooge to Israel.
From 1978 to 1983 the Shiaa militias of AMAL, lead by Nabih Berri, the successor to Sadr, followed the orders of the Syrian regime to enter every Palestinian camp and retrieve heavy arms; many battles with the Palestinians inside camps were routine.
All that was reversed as Hezbollah was formed in 1984 by the support of Khomeini in Iran. Nabih Berry of AMAL calmed down and Israel withdrew without any preconditions from south Lebanon in May 24, 2000 as the splintered Lebanese army lacked manpower and suffered heavy casualties by the frequent well targeted Hezbollah attacks.
Note 2: Yasser Arafat played a central role during the Lebanese civil war that started in April 13, 1975 and ended in 1991. He tried to maintain a balanced position in the tag of war between Hafez Assad of Syria and Sadate of Egypt at the expense of the Lebanese civilians.
The leftist Lebanese organizations relied on Arafat for logistics in arms and ammunition and he controlled them completely.
Arafat and his PLO were actually fighting Israel, Syria, and the Christian militias of the “Lebanese Forces”. Arafat once declared in Ramallah around 1998 that he was the de facto governor of Lebanon for over 20 years, even before the civil war broke out.
Lebanon would have been saved 13 years of mindless civil war if Arafat had decided to relinquish Lebanon to Syria and dealt with Israel in 1977 instead of 1993 for part of Palestine as he was forced to do later during the Oslo Agreement.
Note 3: There are indications that ex-President Amine Gemayel, Deputy and Minister Michel Murr, and the Maronite Church are among the profiteers in the reclamation of the land of the Palestinian camps in the Christian cantons.
Declassified British secret documents: On Israel preemptive war on Lebanon in 1982, and genocide of Palestinian camps of Sabra and Chatila

Declassified secret British government documents: On Israel preemptive war on Lebanon in 1982, and genocide of Palestinian camps of Sabra and Chatila
The UK National Archives released war material on Lebanon. The most riveting document is a secret “UK Eyes Alpha” assessment by the Joint Intelligence Committee on June 22 1982.
Its insights remain valid, mutatis mutandis, to this day.
“Much of the Arab world sincerely believes that the United States administration had connived in, if not positively blessed, the Israeli invasion.
Many of the moderate Arab leaders, including the Jordanians, Saudis and Egyptians are dismayed that the United States has failed to use its leverage over Israel effectively to deter new aggression and to prevent occupation of more Arab land.
The perception that the United States has acquiesced in the Israeli action will be seen as evidence of double standards when the administration is condemning the use of force to settle disputes in other parts of the world.
“It will undermine faith in United States ability and willingness to defend other moderate Arab states from Iranian as well as Israeli aggression. It has all but destroyed, for the time being, Arab faith in the willingness of the United States to use its leverage with Israel to obtain a solution to the Palestinian problem which takes account of Arab needs.”
Ian Black posted on Jan. 4, 2013 in The Guardian
It’s reasonable to describe journalism as the “first rough draft of history“.
And it’s always interesting, when secret government documents are released, to see how far that early version stands the test of time. For example:
The Falklands conflict with Argentina dominated the headlines about British state papers declassified from 1982 – the traditional three decades after the event. But those dealing with that year’s Lebanon war provide some fascinating and still relevant insights.
The war began in a sense in London, where, on June 3, a Palestinian gunman shot the Israeli ambassador, Shlomo Argov. It was clear from the start that the hit team was not from the PLO but from the dissident Iraqi-backed outfit run by Abu Nidal, Yasser Arafat‘s sworn enemy.
Israel‘s prime minister, Menachem Begin, egged on by his defense minister, Ariel Sharon, went to war against the PLO in Lebanon anyway. “Abu Nidal, Abu Shmidal,” another Israeli minister said.
The documents generated at the time by British embassies, the foreign office and Downing Street provide evidence of continuity and change at a crucial moment.
Margaret Thatcher, fresh from her Falklands triumph, refused to talk to the PLO on the grounds that it had neither recognized Israel nor renounced terrorism.
But there was movement nevertheless: Thatcher received an Arab League ministerial delegation but allowed Douglas Hurd, a foreign office minister, to meet Farouq Qaddoumi, Arafat’s foreign minister. It was the first encounter of its kind and a landmark on the way to international recognition of an organization whose hard-fought claim to be the “sole legitimate representative” of the Palestinians must now be in doubt.
“A balance would thus be struck between the United Kingdom’s sympathy with the Arabs over the Israeli invasion of the Lebanon and the fact that the Israeli Ambassador in London, Mr Argov, had been attacked by a splinter group of the PLO,” the secret cabinet minutes recorded.
Britain’s Arab friends looked on in alarm as the crisis deepened, the documents show.
King Hussein of Jordan was terrified that Palestinians would be driven from Lebanon into his own security-conscious realm. Only those with Jordanian passports would be admitted and only after being “thoroughly screened to weed out undesirables.” Hussein warned Thatcher of an “unprecedented holocaust” and a “bloodbath.”
In Cairo, Hosni Mubarak, just a few months in office, was horrified at the idea that the PLO might set up a government-in-exile in Egypt.
The Saudi foreign minister Saud al-Faisal lobbied Thatcher to use her influence with Ronald Reagan. But she declined a suggestion that she ask the US president to pressure the Israelis not to enter west Beirut –as they eventually did.
Then, as now, Washington was where things happened, and it was American envoys who tried to cobble together a ceasefire. There was also some discomfort.
“The Americans are concerned at the extent to which the Israelis have misled them at every stage of their Lebanese operation,” the British ambassador reported after meeting Alexander Haig, Reagan’s secretary of state. “There are continuing divisions within the administration but it looks increasingly likely that, as usual, the pro-Israeli faction will have its way.”
Brian Urquhart, a senior British UN official, had a “blazing row” with a US diplomat and demanded pressure on the Israelis to allow humanitarian access since “the Americans and the other Arabs were apparently not prepared to do anything in the face of what looked like mass murder of the Palestinians by the Israelis.”
Like many government documents these British papers confirm what was widely reported at the time about a conflict which has always attracted intense media attention.
Even in the post-WikiLeaks era, there is a frisson in reading confidential reports and reflections, some of them piercingly perceptive. Small indiscretions – about French arrogance, Israeli influence over the US, Arab frustration and British manoeuvring – add colour, nuance and understanding to enrich the historical record.
Note: Israel war that ended in entering the Capital Beirut left 20,000 killed (mostly civilians of Lebanese) and injured 60,000.
Israel perpetrated the genocide in the Palestinian camps of Sabra and Chatila for three days and two night (slaughtering 2,000 women, children and elder people), even with the promise of the USA that Palestinian civilians in the camps will be safe from Israeli aggression.
Jewish religion is dead

Jewish religion is dead: replaced by Zionist State ideology (June 18, 2009)
Religions, monolithic or not (it is primarily a mental distinction and never real), did not mushroom spontaneously in specific regions. Religion is the same and was translated and interpreted into different languages and cultures. Religions were imported/exported along with the material baggage of trade and commerce; they were built upon and modified to correspond to customs and traditions. Religions developed to extreme abstractions in urban centers or reduced to basic common denominators in remote rural areas; they were the primary cultural communication among people based on trust, confidence, and belief that there is always someone more powerful and more knowledgeable than the lot.
It is because people need to create a God that religion was the main communicator among nations; religion transcended peculiar customs and traditions and reached straight to the deep fear and apprehension of man. Fear of the unknown is shared by everyone and all men are similar in that one characteristic.
There have always been all kinds of civilizations; that the archeologists failed to uncover relics and artifacts is irrelevant to that fact. Every civilization prospered on slavery; whatever names slaves were given. Slaves had their own God; at day they shared the God of the usurpers of their freedom and by night they unveiled their “True God” and worshiped him genuinely as only desperate souls know how to pay tribute. A few slave “tribes” revolted and confirmed their nightly God at day break and paid retributions. Most of these “slave tribes” succumbed to the power to be and its social structure (constructed around a religious hierarchy); a few preferred to be chased out and suffer another kind of life hardship. No, there was no dignity in the daily life of the forsaken slaves who wandered in the wilderness; even their nights were different: they had to reinvent a God compatible to their wretched new life, an altered the God of the One they used to worship at night before the Diaspora.
Nomadic tribes didn’t need religious clerics to convince them of a “God”: as they sat around by night they could watch the vault of the sky reaching down and they felt they could touch the stars. There is overwhelming majesty during the peaceful nights in desert like regions, a sky sparkling with millions of beautiful stars twinkling overhead (a few moving, many fixed) that offered reprieve, courage, and hope for another day of desolation, loneliness, and harsh nature. Nomads appreciate the varieties of Silence: they can feel the God of Silence before major cataclysms and desert storms.
It is because nomads needed to believe more in a God than other settled people to ward off the persistent and real fears of the days for survival that their God was more powerful and more compassionate than other Gods; the God of the nomads was personified in the one seeking refuge for the night; the visitor was lavished with the respect due to the wandering God paying visit to the tribe members and he was fed with whatever meager substances the clan had saved. The God of the nomads knew their traditions and customs and refrained from interfering or crossing the lines; otherwise, the visitor was punished for false representation.
There are various God. There is the God of the nomads, the “Night God” of the enslaved, the God of the urban and settled people, and the God of wandering homeless people, rootless, and abandoned because their God refuses to be set free. My article concerns the God of the stragglers. This God was created a brute, ruthless, and blood thirsty; an avenger out of ignorance, an insulated, merciless, and uncompromising hatemongering God. This is the God of Thunder, War, Lightening, Storm, Sword, and Skull. This is the God who rebuffs any tender offer to mingle with other civilized Gods, to soften His manner, to come to maturity, to associate, to adjust, and to keep pledges.
This is the God who obeyed his creators; as He started to appreciate modern and civilized habits He was reminded by his creators, called prophets, that He lost his way and the reason why He was created. This the God who was resurrected countless time from his compassionate leaning and collaboration with other worthy Gods to lead newer generations, whose hearts and minds were burned alive from birth, to take on a chimerical revenge on real people because chimerical stories and myths are truer than reality.
The Jewish religion is dead. It was replaced by a State ideology called Zionism. Jehovah (Yahweh) was again called upon to mete out his benediction to countless genocide against the Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians, Jordanians, and Egyptians. The ancient “prophets” were rejuvenated into modern-day prophets, very much as archaic as Ben Gurion, Menahem Begin, Ishak Shamir, Sharon, Ehud Barak, and all the lot who want their “promised land” that they usurped by the sword, lies, and blasphemy.
The Jewish religion is dead as Israel was recognized in 1948. It is not what the Books say; it is how it is practiced. It is how Zionism behaved in Gaza, Sabra and Chatila Palestinian camps, the camps in Jenine, Jabalya, the massacres in the villages of Dar Yassine, Kfar Kassem, Yafa, the shelling of the town of Qana, of the UN compounds in Qana, Gaza, and the West Bank, the execution of over 6,000 Egyptian soldiers prisoners in the war of 1967; the destruction of Lebanon’s infrastructure 8 times, the destruction of the infrastructures in Gaza and the West Bank, the demolition of schools and hospitals, the routine assassinations of leaders, the apartheid Wall of Shame, the refusal of abiding by UN resolution 194 for the return of the Palestinian refugees, the insistence of refusing to share Jerusalem Capital to the Palestine State, the transfer methods of the Christians from Jerusalem, and claiming that Israel should be accepted as State for Jews before any peaceful negotiation.
The Jewish religion is dead. It was replaced by a State ideology called Zionism, founded by the Eastern Europe Ashkenazi.
Note: The UN described Zionism in mild terms as “a form of racism”. As the USA pressured the UN to desist of this mild description then Zionist ideology was no longer restricted to Jews; it transformed to an umbrella for the fascist, Nazi, Stalinists, Gang of Four, Khmer Rouge, Neo-Conservative, apartheid, and isolationist ideologies; it had contacts with Taliban, Ben Laden, Qaeda, and a variety of religious extremists of Moslems, Hindus, and the Christians of the Sirilanka Tamul terrorists.
Massacres in Sabra and Chatila Palestinian camps in Lebanon (June 11, 2009)
For two days and three nights, genocide was perpetrated in September 16, 1982. Over 2,000 Palestinian civilians were massacred in the camps of Sabra and Chatila on the outskirt of Beirut. The Israeli Army had cordoned off the camps, provided logistics for the invaders, lighted the “field of operations”, and excavated mass graves.
Israel Defense Minister, Ariel Sharon, was there, supervising the genocide activities. The head of intelligence branch of the Lebanese Forces militia, Elie Hobeika, was witnessed over a hill overhanging the camps observing the scene through binoculars.
The Palestinian resistance fighters had vacated Lebanon a month ago and multinational forces, headed by the USA, were supposed to guarantee the safety and security of the Palestinian civilians in the various camps around Beirut.
In July 2001, Elie Hubeika invited the news media for an announcement. He divulged that Israel tried not to indict Ariel Sharon, the real culprit of the massacres in the Palestinian camps of Sabra and Chatilla in 1982, by shifting the blame to him. Elie Hobeika offered to witness in front of the Belgium court that was prosecuting claims against Sharon by the families of the victims in the camps.
Hobeika insisted that he has evidences to prove his innocence and information that are contrary to what the official Israeli Kahana Commission presented. Hobeika said “I am one of the wrongly accused in this case; I was set up and will present all the evidences that the Belgium court demands of me.” said to a friend: “This is a big and dangerous game. I was waiting for such an opportunity to tell the whole truth for a lie that lasted 19 years. I can no longer sustain the burden of suspicion in the eyes of my family and son.”
The Belgium head delegation, Roger Dubee, met with Hobeika in Lebanon and recorded the evidences and then promised to fly to Belgium once the court is ready for hearings on the massacres case.
A roadside bomb exploded in the convoy of Hobeika on January 24, 2002, 150 meters from his home. Hobeika had once told his friend: “The worst section when you are targeted is the stretch close to your house”. The area was top security because the presidential Palace, the Defense Ministry, and Army headquarter were located near by.
The investigations led nowhere, but everyone pointed the finger toward Sharon’s PM decision to eliminate Hobeika. This assassination was to be the first in a series of frequent assassinations after Rafic Hariri’s in February 2005.
Elie Hobeika was born in 1956 in the town of Kulai3at and studied in several private Christian schools. He studied commerce and banking and worked for a while at the Lebanon/Brazil Bank. He joined the Phalange Party (Kataeb) in 1972.
Hobeika always carried his favorite machine gun HK, and Bashir Gemayel gave him the nickname HK after an impossible successful mission of breaking up a blockade on trapped militias. Beshir dispatched Hobeika in 1977 to south Lebanon. Hobeika fought the Palestinians around Ain Ebel for 7 months under the code name “Edward” and antagonized Israeli officers.
The daughter of Beshir Gemayel, Maya, was assassinated in 1980. Thus, Beshir Gemayel assigned Hobeika the task of establishing an intelligence branch. It was Hobeika who suggested to Bashir to open up communication lines with President Sarkis. Hobeika wed Gina Nashati in 1981.
Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982 and would push foreword and enter the Capital Beirut. Hebeika joined Bechir on a visit to Saudi Arabia in June 1982 as preparation for the succession to President Sarkis. Beshir would be elected President on July 23, 1982 under the bayonet of the Israeli army in Beirut.
Bashir was assassinated on September 14, 1982 before being officially consecrated President. Elie Hobeika was with Amine Gemayel (elder brother of Basher) in Bikfaya when Saeb Salam PM called Amine to inform him of suspected activities inside the Palestinian camps of Sabra and Chatila. As head of the intelligence branch Hobeika had no fighting regiment under his orders to dispatch.
Hobeika was elected Deputy after the civil war in 1992 and then in 1996; he was minister of the Lebanese refugees and then minister of Water and Electricity.
After the assassination of Elie Hobeika, the Belgium court closed the file; as if Hobeika was the only witness to one of the ugliest genocides in this last quarter of this century. That proves the masquerade of the Western courts when the victims are Palestinians or Arabs. The families of the over 2,000 civilian victims in the camps of Sabra and Chatila want justice, retribution, and compensation.
I demand from the Belgium Justice to explain what happened to the case of the camps. It is a shame that the western Nations don’t take seriously the successive genocides that the Palestinian and Lebanese civilians have succumbed to the Zionist State.
Lately, Gaza was eradicated after suffering an entire year of embargo on daily trade for survival. Before that in 1996 the massacre of Qana case was dropped by the US courts. The Horror; the deafening Silence of the able “civilized” Occident.
100 years old RLM and she is kicking

100 years old RLM and she is kicking (April 25, 2009)
Rita Levi-Montalcini (RLM) received Nobel Prize in 1986 for discovering “Nerve Growth Factor, NGF”. RLM is 100 years old and still coming to work and running the non-profit neuroscience research center called the European Brain Research Institute (EBRI) in Rome. The Italian President Ciampi named her Senator for life in 2001.
In 2001, RLM had wondered “In what scientific domain has Italy always been the best?” Galvani and Volta discovered animal electricity; Golgi invented cell nerve coloring; Vittorio Erspamer isolated serotonin and other neurotransmitters; Giuseppe Levi (her professor) was among the first to experiment with in-vitro culture. Consequently, RLM research center would be dedicated to neurosciences.
RLM is writing another book; she had published “Praise to Imperfection” and “The Ancestors”. In “Ancestors” RLM described 70 bright women thinkers. She likes to remind the new generation that human brain is of two parts: the tiny archaic or limbic brain that is 3 millions years old in evolution and that is identical to mammals and which control our emotions (positive and negative) and the newer cognitive brain, the neocortex, which has been in development for only 150,000 years as man invented language. The old brain saved man from the ferocious animals when he descended from trees but then it will destroy man by using the mass destructive weapons. She believes that the end of humanity is soon because the old brain will activate the lethal weapons.
RLM hires mostly brilliant women researchers because women were denied education for centuries. She said: “Only hungry people enjoy eating”. There are no genetic differences between man and women; there are voluntary epigenetic (development) differences exercised by patriarchal cultures. RLM distributed 6,700 educational grants in Africa since 2001 because she wants to tend to analphabetism, a disease far worst than leper, cholera, and tuberculosis combined. Her hero feminine scientist and thinker is Hypatia. Hypatia lived in Alexandria in the 4th century AC; she invented the astrolabe, the planisphere and taught philosophy in the street. Bishop Cyril got jealous of her intellectual fame and harangued zealot Christians to tear her to pieces; Hypatia flesh was burned afterward in the public square.
RLM has demonstrated that NGF is present in the ovocyte and the sperm and it can cure Alzheimer, Parkinson, and lateral sclerosis amyotrophic patients. Her eyesight and hearing are almost gone but she claims that her thinking is much more active than when she was 20 years old. RLM only vanity is luxury dresses.
RLM has the attitude of turning catastrophes into opportunities. When the Mussolini regime issued laws in 1938 that restricted RLM horizons she installed a laboratory in her apartment and then moved on to doing research at the University of Washington in Saint Louis in 1960. After the Israeli massacres in the Palestinian camps of Sabra and Chatila in Beirut (Lebanon) in 1982, RLM lead a demonstration to Israel’s Embassy in Rome and carrying the banner that read: “Sabra and Chatila are part of our struggle” for human dignity and defending human rights.
Nation for Zionists? What is Apartheid and Crimes against humanity?

Zionist ideology: Of apartheid, terror, and crimes against humanity (December 24, 2008)
Israel is the last apartheid State in existence and still going strong, boasting its rights to be a pure Jewish State and that the “Palestinians do not exist” as Golda Meir PM stated in 1967. Before I start my essay, let me offer a very restricted sample of terror activities of this Apartheid State since its inception as an implant State in the 20th century.
Deir Yasin (April, 1948): 254 civilians shot dead by the Menahem Begin’s terrorist Irgun militia that had demolished King David Hotel during the British mandate. Deir Yasin was a village that didn’t even permit combatants to pass through and had a pact of non-aggression with the neighboring Jewish settlements.
Begin wrote: “After Deir Yassin the Irgun entered Haifa as if slicing into butter” The arch terrorist Begin was later rewarded for all his terrorist activities to become a Prime Minister of the State of Israel.
Balad al-Cheikh (December, 1947): 60 Palestinian civilians shot in their homes by the official Palmach army.
Sasa (February, 1948): 60 Palestinian civilians killed and 20 houses demolished by the Palmach army.
Haifa (April, 1948): 100 Palestinian civilians fleeing the City were killed and 200 severely wounded.
Qibiya (October, 1953): 42 Palestinian civilians killed and 41 houses blown out by Ariel Sharon and Defense Minister Moshe Dayan. The village of Qibiya was in Jordan but Israel wanted revenge 4 years later because it had resisted Israel terrorists’ infiltration.
Kafr Kassem (October, 1956): 47 Palestinian peasants returning from their fields to the village were shot dead. Colonel Melinsky told the commander Shadmi: “No sentimentality. Let God have mercy on their souls”. Kafr Kassem was not even within the State of Israel when Israel decided to invade Sinai.
Khan Younis (November, 1956): a Palestinian camp of refugees under the UNRWA was occupied by the Israeli army; 275 civilians massacred.
Rafah (November, 1956): a refugee camp directed by UNRWA was invaded by Israel “Defense Forces”; 111 civilians massacred.
Sabra and Chatila (refugee camps in Lebanon; September, 1982): over 2,300 civilians massacred during two nights and three days of bestial behavior never seen in modern history.
Qana (south Lebanon): 200 civilians dead and 200 severely injured in a compound run by the UN Peace keeping forces; Shimon Peres (the supposedly “peace-loving” person) was Prime Minister; the bombing was pre-meditated.
Qana again (July 2006): 40 civilians, mostly children huddled in the basement, died buried under a bombed building.
Jenine (2005; a Palestinian camp in the West Bank): 500 civilians crushed under the Merkava tanks during three days of demonic genocide. Israel did not allow any UN investigation of the slaughter.
In 1948, the United Nations divided Palestine in two States: Israel and Palestine. Israel didn’t care: it invaded the Palestinian lands and claimed it as its own. The villages and cities of Qazaza, Jaffa, Tanoura, Tireh, Kfar Huseinia, Haifa, Abou Shusha, Saris, Biddu, Lod, Bayt Surik, and on and on all destroyed, the civilians killed and massacred, and the names of the villages changed to Hebrew names. The irony is that all the famous Zionist terrorists were rewarded with the highest government posts; Ben Gorion PM, Golda Meir PM; Begin PM, Shamir PM, Sharon PM, Ehud Barak PM, and not counting the successive Defense Ministers such as Moshe Dayan and the sorts.
Israel has invaded tiny Lebanon more than six times and destroyed completely its infra-structure more than eight times, for no reasons whatsoever, and displaced more than one million Lebanese citizens four times from south Lebanon. Why?
What threat a defenseless Lebanon was to Israel if not for its resilience and complex social composition that make this State immune to accepting a virtual peace treaty?
Tiny Israel has more fighters plane of the latest versions (more than 500) than France; can tiny Israel, with no substantial economy to rely on, be able to afford such a fleet if it was not the mercenary military outpost State to the US Empire in the Middle East?
Tiny Israel, smaller than New Jersey, has more nuclear war heads than France (the same nation that provided Israel with its first central atomic capability in 1956). Can tiny Israel with less than 5 million Jews be able to acquire such an arsenal if it was not the watchdog of the US Empire in the Middle East?
Tiny Israel, with no economy that matter, allocated more than two billion dollars to build a stupid barrier more than 800 km to separate itself from the Palestinians in order to convince its citizens that apartheid is an excellent policy. Israel withheld needed budget to raising the standard of living of the poorer immigrants who have been struggling with their lethal mistake of coming to this forsaken land of crimes and terrors.
