-11:50 Dennis talks to Ellen Siegal, a U.S. Jewish nurse who was working in Sabra and Chatila at the time of the massacre. She recounts the events. The IDF refused to let fleeing refugees exit the camp. The foreign doctors and nurses were led out and put against a wall to be shot. The militia execution was stopped by a lone Israeli soldier, and the captives were turned over to the Israelis. It was Rosh Hashona. At the Israeli HQ she could see down into the camps. It would have been impossible for the IDF leaders not to know about the massacres. Everybody knew. Ariel Sharon is lying.\r\n
