These things one remembers. Abu Maher is 65 — like Khaled Abu Noor, his family originally fled their homes in Safad in present-day Israel — and stayed in the camp throughout the massacre, at first disbelieving the women and children who urged him to run from his home. But she escaped. Repeated trips back to the camp, year after year, have built up a narrative of astonishing detail. Investigations by Karsten Tveit of Norwegian radio and myself proved that many men, seen by Abu Maher being marched away alive after the initial massacre, were later handed by the Israelis back to the Phalangist killers — who held them prisoner for days in eastern Beirut and then, when they could not swap them for Christian hostages, executed them at mass graves.

And the arguments in favour of forgetfulness have been cruelly deployed. Why remember a few hundred Palestinians slaughtered when 25, have been killed in Syria in 19 months? Supporters of Israel and critics of the Muslim world have written to me in the last couple of years, abusing me for referring repeatedly to the Sabra and Chatila massacre, as if my own eye-witness account of this atrocity has — like a war criminal — a statute of limitations.

Given these reports of mine compared to my accounts of Turkish oppression one reader has written to me that "I would conclude that, in this case Sabra and Chatila , you have an anti-Israeli bias. This is based solely on the disproportionate number of references you make to this atrocity…". But can one make too many? Dr Bayan al-Hout, widow of the PLO's former ambassador to Beirut, has written the most authoritative and detailed account of the Sabra and Chatila war crimes — for that is what they were — and concludes that in the years that followed, people feared to recall the event.

We must remember that all of us are responsible for what happened. And the victims are still scarred by these events — even those who are unborn will be scarred — and they need love. Were the people who committed the crimes the only criminals?

Were even those who issued the orders solely responsible? Who in truth is responsible? In other words, doesn't Lebanon bear responsibility with the Phalangist Lebanese, Israel with the Israeli army, the West with its Israeli ally, the Arabs with their American ally?

Dr al-Hout ends her investigation with a quotation from Rabbi Abraham Heschel who raged against the Vietnam war.

Lebanon's Christian President-elect, Bashir Gemayel, is assassinated by a pro-Syrian militant but his loyalists blame the Palestinians. Lebanese Christian militiamen enter camps at Sabra and Chatila to carry out revenge attacks on Palestinian refugees, with occupying Israeli forces guarding the camps and firing flares to aid the attacks at night. After three days of rape, fighting and brutal executions, militias finally leave the camps with 1, dead.
