Palestinian refugees in Lebanon are marking the 25th anniversary of the Sabra and Shatila massacre. Up to 2,000 Palestinians died on Sept. 16 and 17, 1982, when the Israeli military allowed a Christian militia to attack the camp. Israel’s then-Defense Minister Ariel Sharon was forced to resign after a special Israeli investigative panel declared him to be “personally responsible” for the massacre.
