If Allah knows there is anything good in your hearts,

يُؤْتِكُمْ خَيْرًا مِّمَّا أُخِذَ مِنكُمْ

He will give you better than that which has been taken away from you,

وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

And He will forgive you. And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

Of the perpetrators, Steven Green said, “I didn’t think of Iraqis as humans.” James Barker took a plea deal and immediately after, smoked a cigarette and grinned as reporters passed by.

May Abeer and her family rest in peace while the monsters who did this and allowed it to happen suffer for eternity.

I should note that some of this is very gruesome and can be triggering to read:

Sabra and Shatila were Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon

President-elect of Lebanon Bachir Gamayel was assassinated shortly after winning the election

Israeli forces told his party [The Phalange Party] that Palestinians were responsible for the assassination [which was a blatant lie to stir conflict]

The Phalange party is a Lebanese Ultra-nationalist party composed primarily of Christians

Israeli forces surrounded the camps, set up checkpoints, and barred any Palestinians from leaving for any reason.

Israeli forces took over the ten-story high Kuwaiti embassy that overlooked the entire camp

Israeli forces allowed Phalangist militants to enter the camp and provided flares throughout the night to keep the camp lit for them, as they proceeded for two whole days to slaughter Palestinians indiscriminately

Homes were bombed with people still inside, families were executed in the streets, people were butchered, all while Israeli forces overlooked the massacre and continued to bar any Palestinians from leaving or foreign forces from entering.

The lowest estimates put the number of Palestinians massacred at 762, while other estimates range from 2000-3500.

The Phalangists began attempting to cover up the massacre by hiding or burning the bodies, but several journalists managed to sneak into the camp

These journalists described witnessing severely mutilated bodies, young boys had been castrated, people had been scalped, and many had the Christian cross carved into their bodies

Dead women were found in their homes with their skirts and dresses hitched up and legs spread apart, in some cases even broken and disfigured, with clear evidence of numerous rapes having taken place, during or after-which the women were killed

“I saw dead women in their houses with their skirts up to their waists and their legs spread apart; dozens of young men shot after being lined up against an alley wall; children with their throats slit, a pregnant woman with her stomach chopped open, her eyes still wide open, her blackened face silently screaming in horror; countless babies and toddlers who had been stabbed or ripped apart and who had been thrown into garbage piles.” –American Journalist Janet Stevens

Israeli Defense Minister Ariel Sharon found guilty of bearing responsibility for allowing the massacre to happen, and was forced to resign

Ariel Sharon eventually went on to become Prime Minister of Israel

Ariel Sharon has a history of slaughtering and massacring Palestinian refugees, and routinely killed those sleeping in their huts in the last 40’s and early 50’s

The Sabra and Shatila massacre took place in the Sabra and Shatila Palestinian refugee camps in Beirut, Lebanon, between September 16 and September 18, 1982, during the Lebanese civil war.

Palestinian and Lebanese civilians were massacred in the camps by the Israeli supporters Phalangist militia while the camp was surrounded by Israeli forces.
