  The killings of Sabra and Shatila are just one example of the horrific crimes that are carried out for specific purposes by the brutal Israeli regime and with the support of Western countries and especially the United States. On September 16, 1982, the army of the brutal Israeli regime, which at the time had occupied Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, attacked two Palestinian camps, Sabra and Shatila, and committed one of the largest massacres and bloodshed that had no precedent in the century. 20. The killings that took place in a period of three consecutive days, namely on 16, 17 and 18 September and under the leadership of Ariel Sharon, the prime minister of the Israeli government at the time, led to the killing of more than three thousand refugees from the two camps, including women , infants and the elderly. At that time, the number of witnesses to the crime was announced to be between three thousand five hundred and five thousand people.

The crimes of Sabra and Shatila were carried out as a revenge against the Palestinians who for three months had stood firm and continued to surround the tanks of the Zionist regime. At that time, the countries and the international community promised to support the Palestinians if the Palestinian leaders would leave Beirut, but despite this, the countries ignored their promises and left the innocent Palestinians of the camps in the face of sabotage and Zionist attacks. The important point is that the United Nations Security Council ended up condemning the killing of Sabra and Shatila despite calling it a mass murder. The regime continued its attacks against innocent Palestinians despite the council's request to return home its soldiers from the Lebanese borders. The terrible massacre of Sabra and Shatila. his terrible actions against the defenseless citizens of Palestine while the Security Council and the powers that claim to be the power of the West have remained silent and refrained from condemning even with words those crimes.

Nasri Kanani Chafi, the Spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran has mentioned the killing of Sabra and Shatila carried out by the army of the cruel regime of Isreal as a stain of shame and humiliation that will not be found on the faces of the Zionist regime. This is because those crimes have been perpetuated for decades by the Tel Aviv administration with the support of the United States and European countries. The crimes of Sabra and Shatila, on the one hand, show the failure of international institutions, especially the United Nations, in dealing with the crimes perpetrated by the Tel Aviv regime, and on the other hand, they also prove to the Palestinians that they cannot guarantee their security by relying on international institutions controlled by Western powers.
