Heck, Prime Minister
Sharon himself ordered the slaughter of 1500 Palestinians.

I know of no well substantiated publicly available evidence to suggest that your statement is true. If you are talking about the refugee camps in Lebanon where is your evidence that the attacks where ordered by Sharon and that he order the militias specifically to kill a bunch of unarmed Palestinians. Also even if they where it would be an exception to the general policy one that if proved would theoretically open up Sharon to prosecution by Israel, it would not be acting in accordance to Israeli law or politics.

The link you provide deals not with the slaughter at the camps but with alleged Israeli involvement in the disappearance of a smaller number of Palestinians after the attacks. I have no good reason at this point to think that the accusations are true, but even if they are it doesn't support your statement, because it deals with a lot less then 1500 people and there is no specific evidence of Sharon having ordered this. Of course is the Israeli army did something Sharon would be more responsible because he was in charge or the Israeli army in the area. But then atrocities can occur without the orders of or even the knowledge of senior generals.
