I guess this is an example of "If you can't deny something drown it in words".

Oops. I only meant to quote the last part. Here it is: It is true that no clear warning Was provided by military intelligence or the Mossad about what might happen if the Phalangist forces entered the camps, and we will relate to this matter when we discuss the responsibility of the director of Military Intelligence and the head of the Mossad. But in our view, even without such warning, it is impossible to justify the Minister of Defense's disregard of the danger of a massacre

At most, this is negligence. You have yet to address: 1) Sharon is a "war criminal" charge. 2) The fact that an American court upheld the fact that Time magazine smeared him in their article (where they alleged what you are alleging). 3) Relevancy of the Belgian Court (that is now trying to indict General Franks) which you felt important enough to mention.

It's negligence if you're late to work because you forgot to set your clock. If you are daydreaming and run your car onto a sidewalk and kill several people, it's manslaughter. If you "negligently" allow a murderous militia into a refugee camp of the enemy and they do what everyone involved knew they would do, that's a war crime.

The operative word is disregard. That means one knows about something and doesn't care.
