Israel’s Role in Sabra and Shatila
Вставка

- After a horrific attack on an Israeli family by a Lebanese teenager working with the Palestine Liberation Front (a faction of the PLO) in 1979, Israel looked for an ally to help create a secure buffer zone between Israel and Lebanon.
However, working with the President-elect of Lebanon, Bashir Gemayel, proved to have deadly consequences. His paramilitary group, the Phalangists massacred between 800 and 2,000 people in two Palestinian refugee camps called Sabra and Shatila.
With the world in an uproar over the horrific news of this event, all fingers pointed blame towards Israel. Although the IDF entered Lebanon to stop the PLO’s terror, Israel accepted responsibility for the part they played in the dark story of Sabra and Shatila.

G’day from a Lebanese born Australian. During the Israeli occupation my in-laws neighbours were travelling through Bhamdoun and were stopped and detained by a Phalange checkpoint.
They being Druze were going to be slaughtered along with approximately 10 others.
Along came an Israeli patrol, the Israeli officer asked the Phalange what was going on and the response with laughter was we have some Bulls to slaughter that being their nickname for Druze people.
The Israeli officer was enraged and slapped the Phalnge leader and screamed, I am a Bull as well do you want to slaughter me as well.
Both sides drew weapons and all the civilians were released and it was told to all.
Peace with Israel not terrorists.
@@kaus3587 israel is a terrorist state full of neo-naszi zionist jewish supremacists terrorists.
That’s a canard
I love how you taught us about desirability bias and then clearly demonstrates it 😂
So not a bad video but a few corrections:
1) IDF has admitted that their soldiers close to Shatilla and Sabra not only knew about the massacre, but some were pushing the phalangists to go back and commit more massacres. They did not report it up the chain as was IDF Protocol.
2) Begin, Sharon, and Eitan (aka Raful as he was more commonly known) were all aware of what was going on. Phalangists primary contact was Sharon so we can't really say he wasn't involved.
3) The inquiry into the massacre was limited in scope, and even they found errors on the IDF Part
4) I speak as someone who has intimate knowledge in this affair, in times of War the unspeakable happens but we need to admit mistakes and not whitewash things. Those responsible should be held to account and just because they are "Elitest" doesn't mean they should avoid prosecution.
Also when I speak of Elitest I am referring to Sharon and Raful who basically blamed the lower ranks of the IDF and walked of scot free
@@TheAli2718 you're absolutely right!!
And the way that the responsibility is dissipated publicly is sick... If it's not the Palestinians fault then it's the fault of the mizrahi officers who are second class and who's families are living in ghettos in israel.
I'm curious; How do you think these commanders should have been held responsible? Why do you think the video is not bad when it completely blames these accountabilities away from leadership (just like pretty much all other Israeli state sponsored misinformation)?
The Lebanese men who committed the the massacre were given official amnesty from the government of Lebanon.
thank you. honestly watching the part where he said the IDF was unaware was hard to believe.
What sort of “Intimate knowledge”
Only strong society can take responsibility for its mistakes. Only society that take responsibility for its mistakes has a future.
Are you referring to Israel? The Zionist state that never takes responsibility until the evidence forces them to? Have you ever heard of the USS Liberty? Has Israel ever admitted to this murder of these US Navy servicemen? What about Palestinian American Journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. Murdered in cold blood in broad daylight by an Israeli soldier. Add her name to the list of the many journalists shot and killed by the Zionist state over the past several decades.
Correct that is why israel has a future. The day the Palestinians apologize will bring a tremendous step forward toward peace

Why does nobody mention who it all started with PLO terrorists threatening and killing Maronite Christians ?
Because that doesn't justify what eventually happened. While the PLO were terrorists, and committed horrific atrocities against the Maronites, that doesn't justify the horror that transpired. Can't say I blame them, though. They were angry. They had suffered much at the hands of the PLO.
And the damour mass acre..... :/
The malicious entity came out of nowhere and destabilized an entire region. If it had not displaced the Palestinians, the PLO would not have existed and would not have destroyed the demographics and security of Lebanon.

Lokhman Slim and Monika Borgman's Massaker, based on 90 hours of interviews with the LF soldiers who participated in the massacre, gives the participants' memories of how they were drawn into the militia, trained with the Israeli army and unleashed on the camps to take revenge for the murder of Bashir Gemayel. The motivations are varied, from blaming beatings from their fathers in childhood, the effects of the brutalization of war, obedience to one's leaders, a belief that the camp women would breed future terrorists, and the idea three quarters of the residents were terrorists. Others spoke of their violence without traces of repentance.[
I am trying to find this documentary and cannot find it anywhere.
Did Israel Know??? They provided perimeter security while the massacre actually happened.
Asking. It is great and all that the Sabra and Shatila massacre is acknowledged and treated as civilized as it should be, but something needs to be asked. What have the Israeli done to compensate the victims and living survivors of the Massacre? Or is that Lebanon's problem? You can't really expect pulling down Sharon as some kind of a moral victory when the victims is still left behind, only surviving with the consequences of the IDF's actions.
Again, what has been done more than just sacking the defense minister and few other generals? Because if that is the case, then it'll just be a pat in the back for the moral argument of Israeli awareness of this tragic chapter.
Nothing has been done. In fact, to say the government failed to hold the perpetrators accountable is an understatement, on the contrary, Israel is proud the actions of the IDF have effectively been rewarded. Sharon eventually became prime minister, and many others involved gained serious prestige like he did.
The victims and their descendants have lived at least 2 more violent invasions from Israel into Lebanon after this, and Palestinians in Lebanon are still subject to ghettoization and exclusion, and most are stateless until today as Lebanon has refused to naturalize the refugee community.
Of course the massacres in Sabra and Shatila also were the only [Edit: of the several massacres of the Lebanese civil war] that created an international outcry and are remembered.
Same way only the Jewish holocaust is mentioned and nothing about the gypsies ;)
@@aj-zt8br I was referring to the context of the video and only meant massacres commited during the Lebanese civil war. What I meant: Out of several massacres committed during the Lebanese civil war, the only one creating an outcry outside Lebanon and being remembered was the one that got some connection to Israel...

A small correction: The Chief of Staff at that time was Rafael Eitan. (also known as Raful). Rafi Eitan was a Mossad agent who helped to find and bring Eichmann to justice 🙂
Yes it can proved , they shot the flares to enable the criminals to continue the massacre , the US gave the PLO guarantees that if you leave , the camps will be protected, the Israelis turned away survivors and prevented them from leaving the camps , witnesses testified that they saw Ariel Sharon watching the massacres from a near by watch tower and the main witness against Sharon ( Eli hubeiqa ) was assassinated 2 days before testifying him in the Hague .
So please dont try to cover the Israeli responsibility for the crime , Ariel Sharon ordered the massacre, the American government that gave guarantees for the safety of the Palestinian civilians and the Christian fascist that committed were all responsible.
He should bring himself to justice , at least this massacre is a proven act of genocide , unlike the holly hoax .

Sabra and Shatila are the results of the Damour massacre. It cannot be explained in isolation. It is like trying to explain WW2 without starting with the events following WW1.
Or explaining the Holocaust without the international collusion of Zionist and the Jewish Zionist congress based in Germany backing the Allys ww1.
@@skp8748 what you posted has nothing to do with the subject matter. For your info, German Jews, a lot of them Zionists, died in disproportionately large numbers fighting and dying for their country where they lives for more than a thousand years. Will not get into the fine details but simply use a search engine and enter "German Jews in WW1" and get all the good stuff. Here is how Wikipedia starts on the subject: ---------- "An estimated 100,000 German Jewish military personnel served in the German Army during World War I, of whom 12,000 were killed in action. The Iron Cross was awarded to 18,000 German Jews during the war.[1]
@@MrBoazhorribilis did Britain not collude with Jews to sway Russian Jews to stay in the war? Did not count on Jewish Americans to sway Roosevelt to enter the war? Did the Zionist congress not relocate from Germany? When it came to post war settlements did the Jews not begin emigration on British occupied Palestine whilst Germany was gutted?
@@skp8748 You are still prevaricating and not addressing the subject matter of this discussion. Here are some facts: --- Britain did no collude with the Jews or Russia . Russian Jews were in no position to determine the acts of the Soviet Army during WW2. ---- Roosevelt entered WW2 after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. It had nothing to do with Jews. ---- The Zionist Congress took place in Basel Switzerland because of some internal disagreements among the German Jews. As a result, the congress was moved from Munich to Basel. ---- After WW2 ended with the Holocaust and the murder of 6 million European Jews, Israel was established and became a member of the UN. Jews from all over the world had the right to emigrate to the State of the Jews. The end. ..... And yes, ISRAEL LIVES

The charter from 1964 needs to be read in the context of the Nakba, which was the ethnic cleansing of Palestine, that had just taken place in 1947/48.
You didn't mention any names of those in the Phalange responsible - Eli Hobeka for example
Also I would be very interested to be given a reliable source of the massacre of 4000 Palestinians in Shatila in 1985
Oh & thank you good presentation as ever
Well them being responsible goes without saying, they were the ones committing the massacre
Eli Hobeika's wife was raped and murdered by the PLO.
it never happened its pure PLO fantasy
palestinian children were put in schools run by UN with over 45 children per class and 1 teacher who was so now and then in the classroom, outside were the children severly bullied by lebanese police and army, palestinians were not allowed to contruct a proper sewing system and did not get permission for roofs other then iron Corrugated sheets, which was freezing cold in winter and bloody hot in summer, the libanese have devided the christians on one side and moslims on another side with lebanese police at checkpoint between and there was a constant curfew, after 8 pm nobody was allowed to get out, also food suply suffered, Palestinians had to sneak in food with risk of being shot,
what is difference with Gaza ?
How about mentioning that the PLO attacked first, so in revenge the christians attacked them back. Lebanon let it go for a reason.
Typically, the focus would be on whoever committed the crime.
And since this was a set of two massacres, it's pretty unusual that the initial act is completely ignored.
I wonder if there's any serious investigation of the entire event.
Fergal Keane did investigative journalism for BBC's Panorama in 2001 ("The Accused"). I was lucky enough to be able to watch it somehow online years ago. Now, I can't find it anywhere. There are transcripts of it out there. Just be aware, if you read the transcript - (cw) graphic descriptions of graphic violence. The program consists of various testimonies.
What I find absurd is trying to justify something that horrible.
Sabra and Shatila was a terrible and obscene event. Yet the media never explore why the Phalange committed such an atrocity. Palestinians had massacred Christians in their homes and villages. This was a horrific and unmentionable period.
Nope, Sabra and Shatila took place after the murder of Bachir Gemayel by the Mujahdeen or the PLO. Stop with the none sense and stop justifying killing 3500 people in retaliation of 1.
The PLO holds great responsibility the civil war and all the hard times the Lebanon faced, but that doesn't justify the massacre.

Nonsense! Israel is a Zionist, imperialist project and without western imperialism it would exist! Christian Zionism is even older than Jewish Zionism, in case you didn't know and made Israel possible.

If the Israelis were so innocent, then why they prevented people who were getting massacredred from leaving , why they didn't intervene and why they shot illuminating flares for the christian criminals to able to continue the massacre, look there was wittneses that testified that Ariel Sharon was watching the massacre from a watch tower near by , and why the Americans who gave guarantees to the plo , if you leave Lebanon the refugees will not be harmed .
It was ordered by the Israelis and Eli Hubeiqa the head of the criminals said was ordered by sharon to commit the massacre and he was going to testify in front of the ICC when he was assassinated.
Hahah for real ? Israel is patting itself of the back for doing the bare minimum to recognize their responsibilities in the massacre of refugees. Refugees they created by their previous operations. And you only see a trust issue ? Hahahahahahahahahahahaga

I'm a Christian who grew up angry about the Sabra and Shatila massacre, not because I have any personal connection, but from reading about the events on Wikipedia. In my opinion, this was an event heightened by political tensions. Thanks for this video. No, I do not blame Israel.
You Christians are as fascist as the Israelis , even worse to this day Christians refuse to take responsibility for it and bring the criminals to justice , to the contrary all the fascists that committed it were given government posts , both Israel and its fascist Christian Lebanese allies were involved in the massacres at the highest levels.
Don't listen to those lies
they were occupying lebanon at the time and surrounded the camps and let the phalangists commit the genocide as they watched.. (according to witnesses and the phalangist themselves) Ariel Sheron was found guilty, elie hobeika was on his way to testify on sheron's role but died in a car bomb like a dog before he couldve.. connect the dots
That’s their secret service tactics- shoot at christians then shoot at muslims and tell them the other side started.
You do know that wikipedia is edited by Israelis, don't you?
how did this shining democracy punish the man responsible for this abhorrent massacre? elected him PM
@monika he literally didn't do it, he didn't say anything bad about Poland. You rather seem to be uneducated and don't understand him. He just compared the situation the Jewish mother was in and the fact that she suffocated her child because she was trying to hide and stay quiet to the countless similar situations Jewish mothers went through during the Holocaust in Poland because of the German terror apparatus. We all know Poland was under German rule and occupation back then, and Germans forced these situations, so it's not about Poland being bad per se, but about the situation being bad for Jews in Poland's territory, and situations like this happening, and they were happening, the same situations. There are countless documented stories from the WWII period in Poland, describing how Jewish mothers, hiding, killed their newborn children - by accident or on purpose, because they were trying to survive, often entire families of people were in such hiding places, and little baby crying could have revealed their hiding place to the Germans. So he compared the situations accurately, that's all. And I'm Polish from Poland, btw.

Well, if you jewish israeli colonisers hadn't commtted atrocities against palestinians and thrown them out of their homeland and made them refugees in lebanon, none of this would have occured.

Go back further. The Levant had been all Christian, and Muslim armies conquered them and made them like Indians in America.

They SLA would not have made the progress it did in the conflict if it wasn't for Israel, and Israels intervention In 82 shifted the local force balance in their favour.

Funny thing is, the Lubavitcher Rebbe said that Israel should illuminate the PLO, and leave Lebanon immediately. The secularist Israeli government ignored the Rebbe, and spared the PLO, and stayed in Lebanon for the next 18 years, (just to show how stupid they are).
The Rebbe absolutely opposed Israel giving land away.They ignored him, and today Egypt is running a cold war against Israel, and rockets are being shot from Gaza to Tel-Aviv.

Interesting anlysis but if your aim is to genuinely educate casual viewers, why have you failed to mention why there was such a large contingent of Palestinian refugees in southern Lebanon in the first place and why the PLO had such an antagonistic attitude towards Israel?
Simply put, they tried to wipe out the Jews of Israel and lost. They then tried to take over Jordan. There too they lost. Then they tried to take over Lebanon, the Lebanese Christians fought them, but in the end, they won.
And the large number of Palestinian Moslem refugees? Didn’t they come from Israel bd were pushed out by the Jews?
How many difficult moments we will see , how many commissions of guilt or innocence we have seen over time , the ultimate end goal of all this “ accountability” is result of peace , coexistence and no killing of cilvilains . Unfortunately that goal remains elusive to say the least . So I agree , it is important to self critique , but that critique must change behavior . Is goal achieved? Has behavior changed . We are seeing another event unfolding in Gaza that will soon need tohave an “ accountability commission” . So does the previous ones have changed anything on ground ? 34000 and counting 10X the size of Shatila !!!!

How can any group of people claim a territory and treat the original inhabitants of that land as a subspecies to be herded around like goats, based on some ridiculous stories made up a thousand years ago? On the other hand, aren’t Western fossil fuel companies responsible for propping up the Jordanian regime that has done nothing to help against the occupation? In any case, this channel seems to be pure Likud propaganda, so it’s impossible to take it seriously.

America acknowledges many things it's done...........ok?
And afterwards Aaron Sharon became the prime minister of Israel.
yes, yes it was.
Gentiles kill Gentiles and they blame the Jews...Btw Sharon was framed.
Jeez what a horribly biased video … feels like I’m listening to a recounting of state tv
You are just trying justifying Massacre . It’s a worst and worst thing can be done by any Vbloger
Trying to be 4:27 🤦🏻 to deny that
Read about Damour Massacre
This has nothing to do with Israel , it was lebanese killing Lebanese in a civil war .
Ye.... IDF only watched happily, lit the way, and kept help out for days.
Def clean hands 👌
@@GhassanB well they chose the side who wasn't hell bent on Jewish genocide. Eye for a eye. That's the way of the region. The only thing they will understand.
@@GhassanB you know what's the PlO killed thousands of Maronite Christians without reason.
It was these Christians who opened up Lebanon for these Muslims, and in return they backstab.
Islam has ruined the middle east.
Of course not....Of course not...nothing ever has aaanything to do with Israel!!!!
Yeah it needs Einstein to predict what the Phalangists what they were going to do, and Sharon rose to become a Prime Minister. Yes it sets israel apart...
You are my open enemy.
5:13 just like now. Not jews war but BB netanyahu war
Ariel Sharon knew it
They knew everything. And very soon they will pay the price for their complicity!
Bashir was killed by another Christian.
yes,,,,,,,they did
Israel Is a democracy with highlights and flaws- but the only one in that area south of Bosporus
What is that profile picture.
@@Hchris101 German Major League Action Personnel
It's a strange democracy that denies the right to vote to millions of Palestinians born and raised there but gives the right to vote to some fat retired American born and raised in Brooklyn.
So? USA is a democracy and look what they did to their own population and the middle east. Boeing a democracy doesnt caninoze you
Israhell
To understand the conflict you have to go to 1948 while establishing the "Isreal" state 750000 Palestinians and 450+ of their villages where burn to the ground,fast forward to 1964 when the PLO was established to resist against injustice. Imaging someone investigating there own crime, nothing could be more bias. Democracy for the Jews and apartheid for the Arab so called Isrealis.
The casual historian youtube channel has a great in-depth video on this
Now if they would look at its own acts in Gaza…
I presume that you are talking about Hamas and Islamic Jihad. There are ZERO Israelis in Gaza for the last 17 years.
@@MrBoazhorribilis yea they just bomb them from jets now veryyy different and oh the graveyard was a hamas base obviously why are those kids in it
Israel is not responsible for any deaths as it withdrew from there
@@MrBoazhorribilis People, maybe. It's easier to bomb if there are no "israelis" there, isn't it?
@@almitrahopkins1873 I do not know what you are trying to intimate but I read the reports and almost all the fatalities were the result of bullet wounds specifically targeted. No bombings.
Not enough research went into this. A lot of people might raise an eyebrow when you say something like "Israel cannot be responsible for a massacre perpetrated by Christians". It would look strange to some, Christians might actually do something like that to Muslims. What I mean by that, is that the Sabra and Shatila massacre, simply cannot be understood, without first understanding that many of the Christian perpetrators prior had family members who were massacred at Damour, like for example Elie Hobeika - whose family and his fiancée were massacred at Damour by the "Palestinians". So the Phalangists were, as they were seeing it, exacting revenge. What about "love thy enemy"? Guess it's only a guideline.
There was a lot of Palestinian massacres in Lebanon’s committed by Israel and it’s militant allies ,but sabra and shatila are the only ones are remembered because unintentionally some reporters we near there and took some pictures and videos of the massacre !
No, Sabra Shatila is not committed by Israel but by the Phalangists. Educate yourself. Also the other ones were not committed by Israel: Sabra Shatila 1982, Damur 1967, Karantina 1976, Tel Al Zaatar 1976 and Sabra Shatila 1985 again (PLO against Amal)… One of the reasons it’s the most famous is because Jews were involved (lighting) and there are still too many racists.
@@noahjung4322 all of them were commited bychristian maronites ,tal azatar was given the perfect situation by the syrian bathist hafez alasad to do the masscare without any support for the palestinens by the outer world , the same as sabra and shatila were given the perfect circumstances and situation by besging the camps and allowing only maronites to enter and leave the camp ,and also was documented that some israeli soldiers were laughing and happy with the results

We were responsible for massacres comparable to October 7 but bro we did the bare minimum and "investigated ourselves". The amount of propaganda of this channel is insane
Massacre was not a Israeli fault , It did under the patronage of IDF.
Wrong
Sorry lads, at this video u wrong
It is absurd to blame Israel for killings done by Lebanese Christians! 🇱🇧✝️
They blame us for everything these days 💀
@@R0DBS2 "These days?" My, you are optimistic!
@@benavraham4397 It's because the Lebanese and Israeli forces were operating in-step with the SLA during the conflicts. Numerous reports after the fact have noted that Israel had multiple chances to intervene in the massacres and did not
@@ravenmusic6392 I read that the Lebanese government gave amnisty to the actual killers. As far as Lebanon is concerned, the event is seen as natural and forgiven.
The massacre took place on the night of Rosh HaShana, a solemn Jewish holiday, so to have the Israelis at their minimum alertness. I heard that the Christians used knives in order to be silent and not arrouse the Israelis, and that the Christians killed only the young men, who had been the actual combatants of the Palestinians.
The bottom line is, the Palestinians had massacred Lebanese Christians shortly before, and the Christians redeemed the blood of their murdered kinsmen.
@@benavraham4397 Oh ok so what you're talking about there is called a revenge killing, plain and simple. I don't care how many other massacres occoured, it doesn't justify the mass execution of refugees, and even less the aiding of that killing by a UN member state! And no, it wasn't just knives, it was guns, vehicles and other heavy weapons, the Israelis knew full well what was going on and directly facilitated the location of the camps through their recon assets. Killing young men is also common in genocides and war crimes, its what happened in both Germany and Bosnia, male civilians are killed as revenge, that doesn't justify it.
The reason why Israel is hated in Lebanon isn't even because of this even, its because of the thousands of civilians they've killed through their invasions and utterly indescriminate bombings that's galvanised the population. Hezbollah wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the southern Lebanon conflict
بشير حي فينا
Nice, very proud to see israel the peaceful, non murderous, non genocidal state have nothing to do with this massacre. The same way they had nothing to do with al tantura and dir yassin and gaza now. Such a great country indeed
You are lying 😂😂😂
Israel should annex Lebanon and Mediterranean coast of Syria and create a larger state of Kna'an.
Galatians 4:30
But what does Scripture say? “Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman’s son.”
Butcher of Lebanon is Ariel Sharon
You are wrong on so many levels.
In September 1982, Lebanon also(I shouldn't say also, since Lebanon was the first to do so, before Israel, but still) establishes a commission led by Lebanese military court Germanos to investigate in the matter and publishes its report that put direct responsibility to Israel and the SLA and puts indirect responsibility to the Phalangists as their leaders didn't order these massacres.
And as you said, democracies care about truths and Lebanon of that time(before Syrian occupation after 1990) was a democracy, the only in the Middle East
Wow. Lebanon opened an investigation to investigate Israel who they consider their enemy and even found their enemy guilty! How brave of them.
He obviously was talking about a country investigating and exposing its own mistakes to get to the truth.
@@adinwashere it's not like Israel did better
@@gillesaboubechara2978 Lol so Lebanon try to shove and blame Israel,they made "investigation" and found themselves not guilty and their enemy is all to blame,wow so much accountability,so democratic...
@@yakov95000 Israel clearly did the opposite
@@gillesaboubechara2978 Yes that is exactly what Israel did,the complete opposite(and that's not better you can't be too much blaming yourself or others),Leftists morons tried by force to blame people who just were not to blame,maybe Eitan as the chief of the staff had to take the blame but what they did to Sharon was political witch hunt and banning him from being Defense minister,this why he later became Prime Minister.
As brave as it is for Israel to investigate itself, something that more countries should do. Especially the US, Russia etc.. Why did those refugee camps exist in the first place. Why did the palestinians have to flee their homes and live in a neighbouring country?
They were forced out of Jordan in 1970, because they tried to take over that country.
Ha, the opening part about cognitive bias almost got me. This video, this whole channel is unilateral in its views. The last part about democracies not being afraid of the truth made me grind my teeth, either the most delusional person on earth or the most dishonest
