Looking Back on “the March of the 400,000” After Sabra & Shatila

This Jerusalem Post article from 2012 looks back on a massive protest on September 25, 1982, in which 400,000 Israelis took to the streets to demand an investigation into Israel’s role in the massacres in Sabra and Shatila refugee camps. The article provides political context for the massacres, the reaction of the Israeli public, and quotes from Peace Now activists about the organisation, goals and achievements of the protest.
