The massacres at Sabra and Shatila were so long
ago, I had to stop and think of what they were,
what they had been.
We can take small, cold comfort from knowing that
the architect of those massacres, Ariel Sharon, is
lying in a hospital bed somewhere is Israel, a complete
and toal vegetable, never to recover.
To quote John Wilkes Booth,
"Thus be it ever to tyrants".

Thank you, Zahra.

Terrible. Why nobody petitions Lebanese government to let Palestinians out of the camps and give them full human rights?

anything to do with this.
