βItβs a fascinating decision by the Mossad to reveal this document, even though it isnβt clear why.β The document suggests, he says, that βthe massacre at #SabraandShatila was one event in a chain of massacres, executions, abductions, disappearances,

#SabraAndShatila, never forget.
Back in the 1970s, for a year or two I taught English to a group of teenage girls in Shatila refugee camp. Most of them, I never found out what had happened to them & their families during the #SabraAndShatila massacre. >
In July 1983, I spent a month in Beirut in the summer, doing final research/interviews for my book "The Making of Modern Lebanon". There was a reign of Falangist/LF terror throughout the whole city then. I told friends who knew the situation in the camps I wanted to go & find >
I was present & was the 1st journalist who entered the camp. I saw the massacre of Palestinians & Lebanese. Will be in my book in details.
36 years ago, #Israel protected its proxy, Falangists "Lebanese Forces", to commit the massacre of Sabra and Chatila.
Goodnight world...

In the memory of the 16th of September 1982, I share with you a small part of my forthcoming book about #Palestinian camps #SabraAndShatila and the massacre #Beirut #Lebanon.
Many descriptive parts are missing. It was a sad and shocking day that details never left my menory.

On this day in 1982, US helped Israel massacre at least 1,300 Palestinian & Lebanese civilians in #SabraAndShatila refugee camps.
The massacre was carried out by right-wing militias that Israel had trained, armed, & sent to "do the job" with clear US approval.
The Israeli army used flares at night to light the way for the right-wing Lebanese militias to the refugee camps.
