To: Mrs. Mary Robinson, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
"History teaches that as long as the duty of justice has not been
discharged, the spectre of war can re-emerge", Judge Claude Jorda.
WE, the undersigned, as the people of this planet, call urgently on Mrs.
Mary Robinson to set up a committee to investigate the involvement of
Ariel Sharon in war crimes against humanity according to the principles
of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the General Assembly
resolutions 260, 2391, 3074 and
Security Council resolution 1296 of United Nations, on behalf of the
victims of 1982 massacre of Sabra
and Shatila refugee camps in Lebanon. UN's resolutions have made it
clear that the perpetrators of genocide, crimes against humanity and War
Crimes should be prosecuted and duly punished. It is also made clear
that the total protection of civilians in an occupied country is in the
hands of occupying army.
In 1982, Israeli Army was an occupying force in Beirut (Lebanon);
according to the international laws they had the responsibility of
protection of all civilians under their control. At that time the
Israeli Army was under total control of Israeli Defence Ministry, and
Ariel Sharon was the Defence Minister. He visited Beirut
and pledged total support for the Israeli allied Lebanese Christian
Militia. Ariel Sharon himself gave the
green light to Lebanese Christian Militia to enter the refugee camps of
Sabra and Shatila in west Beirut, which consequently resulted in the
massacre, torture and rape of hundreds of unarmed civilians, mainly
women and children.
The Israeli Army was not only monitoring the camps and did nothing to
stop the massacre, but as a matter of fact, they paved the path for
Militias to enter the camps. They had their direct and clear orders from
the Israeli Defence Ministry not to interfere and give free hands and
assistance to the Lebanese Christian Militia.
"There was a clear obligation on political and military leaders to take
reasonable steps to protect civilians when they made their orders. In a
situation where civilians' lives were clearly at risk, the person giving
orders was even more responsible than the ones carrying them out", Judge
Richard Goldstone.
With the outbreak of news of massacre in the refugee camps of Sabra and
Shatila, Israeli public was outraged and went on demonstration, and
demanded the resignation of Ariel Sharon and an inquiry to the matter.
Israeli Knesset took action and set up a parliamentary committee to
investigate Ariel Sharon's involvement in
this inhumane act of atrocity. As result of that inquiry, Ariel Sharon
was found responsible for the
actions of Lebanese Christian Militia, and consequently forced him to
resign from his post as Defence Minister. But of course, as he is an
Israeli and these crimes were not committed against Israeli nationals,
he was never charged and never appeared in any court of justice in
Israel.
Now the time has come, all evidences and documents are gathered and
ready to set up an investigation committee in order to bring those
responsible ones to justice beyond their social or political status.
May justice prevails and heals the wounds of survived victims.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned

I suppose pointing out that Israel has murdered children and continued with
settlements in occupied territories would be called anti-Israel.

Coming from you, I would expect the ignorance.

So again... please point to an instance of your accusation.

Yes, you are on the other side.
You have no way of knowing how much I know of the middle east, and
please do not presume that you do.
You do not know me and have no idea what I do or do not know.
You seem to like making comparison between your stupid self and other
people without actually having been exposed to the other person's
side.
You accuse companies of employing unqualified black people and your
basis seems to be only on the colour of the applicant and not on what
they know or do not.
So, broer, shove your middle eastern knowledge up your arse.
You have not indicated any knowledge of anything, except making stupid
assumptions about people based solely on their race.
> So again... please point to an instance of your accusation.
What the fuck does this mean?
You have not said much to analyse
