Sabra & Shatilla 30th anniversary commemoration
Eye-witness to Sabra and Shatilla massacre

Ben was working as a nurse in West Beirut in the summer of 1982, while it was besieged by the Israeli army. He was working in a hospital inside Sabra Palestinian Refugee Camp1982 during the Israeli-supervised massacre. Ariel Sharon's complicity in the massacre of defenceless Palestinians, then under US 'protection' was so flagrant that he had to resign as Minister of Defence.

The Scottish protests against Brand Israel assets Batsheva were sustained and vigorous, both for the hundreds outside the Edinburgh Playhouse and the 30 protestors inside the auditorium over the three nights. The Israeli Ambassador to the UK and Netanyahu’s Minister of Culture attended on the opening night to underline the nature of Brand Israel in whitewashing Israeli crimes. Comprehensive report and analysis from BIN (Boycott Israel Network) here
