OT OT: People's opinion on this, is sort of an ink-blot test. Their interpretation (of who knew what, and when, and why they did it) depends mostly on their overall opinion on the Israeli/Arab conflict. I think the only person who knows for sure what Sharon knew, and when he knew it, is Sharon.

Hi Cary & Jacob Both of you had very cogent – and successful - strategies going into last Fall’s lows (one of the most successful buys being AMAT). There’s now a fair amount of sentiment that we may retest those lows over the next 6 months. Assuming these prognostications are correct, what will be your strategy going into this retest of these lows? BTW, I don’t mean to limit this question to Cary & Jacob – I would be interested in any intelligent opinion here. Best, HD

OT: Massacre at Sabra and Shatilla For anyone interested, here is a link to the Report of the Commission of Inquiry. israel-mfa.gov.il The Commission determined that the massacre at Sabra and Shatilla was carried out by a Phalangist unit, acting on its own but its entry was known to Israel. No Israeli was directly responsible for the events which occurred in the camps. But the Commission asserted that Israel had indirect responsibility for the massacre since the I.D.F. held the area, Mr. Begin was found responsible for not exercising greater involvement and awareness in the matter of introducing the Phalangists into the camps. Mr. Sharon was found responsible for ignoring the danger of bloodshed and revenge when he approved the entry of the Phalangists into the camps as well as not taking appropriate measures to prevent bloodshed. Mr. Shamir erred by not taking action after being alerted by communications Minister Zippori. Chief of Staff Eitan did not give the appropriate orders to prevent the massacre. The Commission recommended that the Defense Minister resign, that the Director of Military Intelligence not continue in his post and other senior officers be removed. Full text follows: I highly recommend Friedman's From Beirut to Jerusalem for what appears to be honest reporting on the events.
