25. If nothing else Sharon had to have known

that the ONLY possible reason the Falangist militias could possibly have insisted on going into Sabra and Shatila was to stage a massacre. They entered those camps immediately after the assassination of Bashir Gemayel, the Falangist president-elect...Shamir, being a sabra himself, had to have known they'd want blood vengeance. He could have stopped it, but clearly didn't feel the lives of innocent Palestinian civilians were of any value.

Hezbollah must have gained thousands of recruits as a result of the Sabra and Shatila massacres and the IDF's complicity in them.
