RE: "Really? Is this "long history"..." No! Recently, the Governor of Illinois changed the sentences of evey prisoner on death row. It was a complete indictment of the criminal justice system including the myth of "fair trials". The legal system is a beautiful thing in concept. Too bad we only have human beings to implement it. RE: ""They are not Jewish" is not enough, I am afraid." "Not enough" for you, but "enough" for me. Consider that you believe "Israel has refused to act", while I believe that Israel has acted and there is no "unfinished business." You have the additional problem that after the Palestinian cries of massacre at the Jenin refugee camp, I don't believe any Palestinian will give honest testimony. Why don't the residents of the camps in Lebanon "seek justice" in Lebanon against the Lebanese Christians? RE: "Sharon as one of the individuals who "bears personal responsibility" for the massacre. Yet neither Sharon nor any other official has been investigated criminally for this evident atrocity." Sharon bears "indirect personal responsibility." Check the text of the report. With hindsight, it is obvious that he erred in his decision to send Phalangists into the camp. The commission suggested that he should have known better. There was a valid military objective for sending troops into the camps. The Phalangists were a formal army and an ally. There is no basis for criminal prosecution. I have read no suggestion for the military response Israel should have taken when word of the massacre filtered back to them. Should they have entered the camps and engaged in a firefight with the Phalangists to stop the killing? I have not seen that suggestion.
