MER Editorial - Washington - 9/27/97:

      The worst massacres in the recent history of the Middle East have not been perpetrated by Arabs, but rather by Israelis. This simple fact is often overlooked in the Western media. In 1982 thousands of Palestinian refugees were slaughtered in the refugee camps of Sabra and Shatilla -- this on top of the estimated 50,000+ Lebanese and Palestinian civilians killed during Israel's barbarous war on Lebanon.

     The responsible person was Ariel Sharon, now one of the senior leaders of the Government of Israel. The rise of Hezbollah was a direct result of Israel's brutal devastation of Lebanon, killing of tens of thousands of innocent civilians, attempt to install a puppet government in Beirut, and direct military occupation of the southern area of the country.

     No one was held responsible, no apologies have been made, no compensation has been paid. Just last year at Qana, Lebanon, Israel purposefully massacred over a hundred civilians even though they had specifically fled to a camp under U.N. protection. Shimon Peres, Israeli Prime Minister at the time, then repeatedly lied and covered up the atrocity until evidence (of which the Israelis were not aware) surfaced.

     No one was held responsible, no apologies have been made, no compensation has been paid. Israeli "death squads" have been operating in the occupied territories for years. Indeed, the brutal and unprecedented Israeli military occupation of large parts of historic Palestine is itself a form of organized State-sponsored terrorism.

     And just a few years ago, in 1994, Baruch Goldstein, in Israeli army uniform, massacred Arab worshipers at the Tomb of Abraham in occupied Hebron. No one was held responsible, no apologies have been made, no compensation has been paid and the meshugana Rabbis of Hebron remain free, guns in hand.

     And by the way, there was no Hamas, and their were no suicide bombers, in occupied Palestine until recent years after a generation of Israeli occupation and repression, torture and systematic terror.      MAB
