That article is incorrect. It says:

From 16 to 18 September, the Phalangists - who were allied to Israel - killed hundreds of Palestinians in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps as they were encircled by Israeli troops in one of the worst atrocities of nearly a century of conflict in the Middle East.

The Israeli troops had already left at that point, AFAIK. Sharon resigned because he made a horrible mistake, not because he ordered the massacre. While he was irresponsible, once again, I wouldn't call him a murderer.

P.S.: I haven't listened to your link yet, as my speakers aren't hooked up here (at home). However, I'll listen when I'm at work in a couple of hours and I'll post my response.

Ted- I listened to the piece... note that it's from 1983. Things have change a heckuva lot since then. That sort of statement doesn't fly much with the Israeli public anymore.
