Get your facts right, Sharon was never before a military tribunal, a group of supreme court justices formed a committee to investigate the massacre and did not find Sharon Guilty of any crime, they found that he should have known that a massacre of Arabs by Arabs could have occurred.

I just tells it like I sees it.

"Sharon was also looking for a post-military career and towards politics. In the mid 1970s, Sharon was Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin's special security adviser. Of special significance was his involvement with Camp David and the Peace talks with Egypt. After that, Sharon was given the Agriculture portfolio. Prime Minister Mencahem Begin made him his defence minister which was from 1981 to 1983. Without explicitly telling Begin, Sharon sent the Israeli army all the way to Beirut, a strike which ended in the expulsion of Yasser Arafat's Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) from Lebanon, but also in the massacre of hundreds of Palestinians in Sabra and Shatila, two Beirut refugee camps under Israeli control. Mr Sharon was removed from office in 1983 by an Israeli tribunal investigating the 1982 Lebanon invasion, finding him indirectly responsible for the killings. For most politicians, an indictment of that kind would have meant the end of a political career. But Sharon remained a popular figure among the Israeli right. Sharon once again found controversy when he was made Minister Construction and Housing from 1990 to 1996. He pursued a protectionist policy. In Prime Minister Benjamin Netanayhu's cabinet, he was made Minister of National Infrastructure. He held this for two years and then became Foreign Minister from 1998 to 1999.
