Commemorating the 1982 Sabra and Shatila
Massacre
For people in the US, September 11th has become an iconic marker of a tragedy in this country - referred to only as 9-11 – when several thousand people were killed.
The day September 11th is also a marker of political crimes and massacres elsewhere in the world. On that day, in 1973, the CIA backed coup deposed Salvador Allende, the democratically president of Chile, ultimately resulting in the death of thousands of Chileans.
And on that day in 1982, following the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, the international forces that guaranteed the safety of Palestinian refugees left, opening the way for the massacre of several thousand Palestinians in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps.
This week’s Radio Intifada is dedicated to that horrific massacre – another moment in the ongoing Palestinian nakba – and to all victims and survivors of war crimes.
In this 2008 re-broadcast, we explore the politics and history of the massacre and the psychological impact of catastrophes like this.
Guests:
Mahmood Ibrahim, Middle East historian and chair, Department of History, California Polytechnic University, Pomona
