"DIRECTLY" responsible

The Kahan inquirey found Sharon DIRECTLY, not "indirectly" responsible for the Sabra and Shatila massacre. Easy to look up.

Yes, Sharon was found "personally" and "directly" responsible for only turning a blind eye to the massacre of civilians at Sabra and Shatilla. A distinction without a difference. I mean, Gosh! who would have thought that lighting the way for and letting a bunch of murders and rapists into a concentration camp would lead to a massacre! Of course, the second part of the Kahan Commision Reprt was labelled Top Secret and never made public. We can only presume it was full of praise for Sharon and the IDF.
