11 Feb 2021 Timur Goksel
Covid-19 is no respecter of persons. It infects rich and poor alike and kills persons who have both harmed and benefitted countries where they dwell. Last week the virus struck down Timur Goksel, a man of modest means who did his upmost to promote peace in Lebanon. He was the long-serving spokesman and political adviser of the UN peacekeeping force (UNIFIL), a university professor, and an advocate of conciliation between adversaries rather than warfare.

Investigation into a massacre: Sabra and Shatila”.
He gathered valuable information from a wide variety of sources both in Israel and in Lebanon. The manuscript describes in 115 pages details of the genocide that was perpetrated in the Palestinian camps in south Beirut from Tuesday September 14 to Monday 20, 1982.
I will end the review with the political and economic reasons for this mindless and bestial slaughter house tale.
