44 Years Later: Justice for Sabra and Shatila
The Sabra and Shatila massacre in September 1982 resulted in the death of approximately four thousand Palestinians and Lebanese at the hands of Israel-backed militias in Lebanon. The killing and destruction continued over three days, with Palestinian camps being destroyed and acts of genocide committed. The Palestinian Foreign Ministry confirmed that the massacre stands as one of the most heinous crimes suffered by the Palestinian people, and noted the international community's failure to hold the perpetrators accountable, which allowed settler expansion and Israeli occupation crimes to persist. The massacre remains a stark reminder of the need to hold war criminals accountable in order to achieve justice.
