III. Travesty of Justice
The sole purpose of the commission of inquiry established by Israel to
investigate the killings in the Lebanese refugee camps is to determine
the guilt of Jews in the matter. This is not only a travesty of
justice, but reflects an abysmal lack of Jewish self-esteem.
The Israeli government has established a commission of inquiry to
investigate the killings at the Sabra and Shatillah refugee camps in
Lebanon. The facts are well known: There has been internal war between
Christian Lebanese and Moslem Lebanese for some years. Each side has
savagely killed the other. After the newly elected president of
Lebanon — a Christian — was murdered, Christian Phalangists entered
the refugee camps and killed many Moslems.
Investigate the Actual Killings
It would be a logical assumption that a commission of inquiry
established to investigate these killings would start with the basics:
Who exactly carried out the murders, and who ordered them to do so.
These questions are surely at the heart of the matter.
But such is not the case. The commission of inquiry set up by Israel
has devoted itself to one question entirely — and that, a side-issue:
What blame do Jews bear in this affair. The Israel Defense Forces were
present in Lebanon. Since it is possible they knew of the killings and
did not stop them, the commission is investigating to determine their
possible responsibility.
A strange state of affairs: Jews are investigating Jews why they did
not risk their lives to stop a war between Christians and Moslems.
If blame is to be attached to Jews for not preventing the Phalangists
from murdering, things should at least be placed in their right
priorities. Any commission of inquiry should first determine who were
the actual perpetrators, and who gave them orders. The whole world
should be apprised who was responsible; and the guilty parties
punished. Then, and only then, would it be proper to investigate who
could have prevented the killings but did not do so — if indeed such
an investigation is even called for.
Nothing of the sort has happened. There has been no mention in the
media that the commission of inquiry has determined — or even plans to
determine — who carried out the actual killings. The whole focus of
the commission is solely on the "guilty" Jews — for not intervening in
the affair!
For Fear of the Gentile
We are witness once again to the "golus mentality," that almost
instinctive fear of the gentile. Israel fears to name the person who
gave the orders to murder, and fears to name those who actually
murdered. Better, it seems, to find Jews guilty of omission, than find
gentiles guilty of commission.
The irony of it is that now there is no need to fear the gentile. The
media has already reported that it was the President of Lebanon who
ordered the Christian Phalangists — his own men — to enter the camps
and carry out their vengeance for years of atrocities by Moslem
terrorists. There has been no outcry of protest, no cries of
condemnation and calls for punishment. The world is curiously silent.
Indeed, the reverse is true. Not only are they not shunned as
murderers, but they are accepted and feted in the capitals of the
world. The reason is simple: the Christians merely exacted revenge
against the Moslems, a tradition among the Arabs dating back for
centuries. So ingrained is the idea of "an eye for an eye" among the
Arabs that it is considered a duty.
Yet the commission of inquiry — set up by Jews — continues to shut its
eyes to the actual perpetrators, and is interested only in
investigating Jews. Since perhaps the Jews knew of the massacres; and
perhaps they could have stopped it — then they should have risked
their lives to prevent something which is accepted practice among the
Arabs! Indeed, it has been reported that the President of Lebanon
requested Israel not to interfere in the internal matters of his
country. Yet Jews are guilty for abiding by the wishes of the
President of Lebanon.
The ostensible reason Israel has not investigated the actual killings
is that everyone already knows who the murderers are. But it is
elementary judicial practice that to arrive at a true ruling, all the
facts germane to the case be presented and investigated. Only once
they have been established — and the blame apportioned — is it
appropriate to investigate a side-issue: was anyone able to prevent
the massacre. Anything else is a travesty of justice.
Set the Record Straight
It should be clearly understood and stated that Jews had absolutely no
hand in the affair, and that it was solely an internal struggle
between Christian and Moslem. It was not an isolated incident that
just happened, but orders were given well in advance by the Lebanese
President to his soldiers to ferret out those with whom they had
accounts to settle — "an eye for an eye," the traditional Arab custom
of revenge.
Only after all this has been recorded and publicized, together with
the names of those responsible — would it be appropriate to
investigate if Israeli soldiers could or should have intervened. It
must be recorded and taken into account that Israel would have had to
quarrel with the Lebanese President, and that international law
forbids them to intervene into purely internal matters. With all these
facts in mind, one could then consider if Jews should have laid their
lives on the line to prevent what happened.
Lack of Jewish Self-Esteem
Non-Jews are amazed at how low Jewish self-esteem is. After everyone
knows who the murderers are, Jews establish a commission with the sole
purpose of investigating Jews to see if they could have prevented the
killings — knowing that other nations not only have no intention of
punishing or condemning the real murderers, but rather accord them
respect!
And so we find newspaper after newspaper displaying headlines
reporting the latest events in the "trial" of the Jews in the Sabra
and Shatillah massacres — and not a word about who is really guilty.
If Jews themselves are keeping quiet about the real perpetrators; if
Jews themselves are inquiring about the "guilt" of other Jews; if Jews
themselves are indicating that they consider themselves responsible —
then why should the media not follow suit?
Besides the awesome lack of self-esteem such an inquiry shows, it
contradicts almost everything Israel has been claiming in the United
Nations. A common spectacle in the United Nations is countries
condemning Israel for actions against terrorists. Israel’s retort has
always been that such condemnations are one-sided. It is ridiculous to
criticize Israel for her actions against the terrorists, Israel
correctly claims, without mentioning the atrocities perpetrated by the
terrorists against Israel.
Yet Jews are doing just that to themselves in the commission of
inquiry. They refuse to mention the responsibility of gentiles in the
massacre, and instead concentrate all their attention on the
"responsibilities" of Jews.
We thought to curry favor with the gentile nations by holding such an
inquiry; instead, we have only abased ourselves — in their eyes and
our own.
It is time to stop bowing to any and all pressures brought to bear to
do things contrary to our own interests. Time to raise ourselves from
the "golus mentality" which produces such aberrations. Time to realize
once and for all that although in exile, we can and must remain proud
and firm in our identity.
It is time to start acting like Jews.

Hassan Nasrallah is not a Rebbe, in fact he's not even Jewish. He is
the head of Hezbollah. Read the book, 'Because They Hate' by
Bridgette Gabriel and you see why the Lebanese Christian phalange did
what it did in Sabra and Shatillah.

Thank you for the book recommendation. But I did not consciously make
a reference to Nasrallah. I know who he is. Here is where I got the
essay from the Rebbe:

I do not agree with him but that can be left for another time.
