Kahan Commission Report on the Sabra and Shatilla Massacre: Reposting of an earlier podcast

Published: Sept. 16, 2022, 1 p.m.

Starting on September 16, 1982 and extending over three days, right wing Christian militia forces went into the Sabra and Shatilla camps near Beirut and massacred 800 (or was it 3,000?  Who knows for sure?) unarmed Palestinian refugees.  The protests within Israel and world-wide were so strong that the right wing government of Menachem Begin and Ariel Sharon was forced to set up a commission to determine what happened.  This is a discussion of those incidents, and of the report.  

Warning:  Not easy listening.
