YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

We look at one of the most shocking incidents in the career of the late former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharonthe Sabra and Shatila massacre. Up to 2,000 Palestinians died on Sept. 1617, 1982, when the Israeli military allowed a Christian militia to attack the camp. ThenDefense Minister Ariel Sharon was forced to resign after a special Israeli investigative panel declared him to be "personally responsible" for the massacre. We air a description of the killings by Ellen Siegel, a JewishAmerican nurse who was working at Gaza Hospital at the Sabra camp at the time of the attacks, and speak with Rashid Khalidi, Edward Said Professor of Arab Studies at Columbia University, and Noam Chomsky, worldrenowned political dissident, linguist, author and Institute Professor Emeritus at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
