...among the many sickened by the massacre in Beirut. I also believe Ariel Sharon was guilty of criminal negligence in allowing revenge-filled Christian forces into the Palestinian camps. But how about a sense of proportion in dealing with the tragedy? Let us not use the word Holocaust lightly. There has been nothing comparable in Lebanon or elsewhere to Hitler's deliberate campaign to murder all European Jews, which resulted in the death of 6 million...
...lost considerable support among Americans. Forty-eight percent said they were less sympathetic toward Begin than a year ago; 13% felt more sympathy; 35% reported no change. Thirty percent felt that the Begin government had to take the major responsibility for the refugee massacre; 28% blamed Israeli Defense Minister Ariel Sharon, while 39% blamed the Christian Phalangists, and 21% blamed the P.L.O. In December 1981, the poll found that 58% considered Israel to be a trustworthy U.S. ally. That figure has dropped...

Please join us if you too believe in the quest for an equitable and just peace in the middle East

He was described only as someone in contact with "foreign quarters." There were no such leads, however, in the death last week of PL.O. Chief of Staff Saad Sayel, better known...
That rising tide of anger and frustration is directed primarily at one man: Defense Minister Ariel Sharon, a general and hero of the 1973 October War. Simply put, the soldiers are afraid that he will make the I.D.F. a scapegoat for the Beirut massacre. Brigadier General Amram Mitzna, head of the I.D.F.'s Staff and Command College, announced two weeks ago that he was requesting a leave of absence in protest over the killings. (He has since relented.) Mitzna bluntly told Sharon, "I have lost faith-in-you." More than 100 top Israeli officers, including everyone above the rank...
