by an Israeli request of neglecting to avert the slaughter of Palestinians by
Christian Phalangist civilian army in Beirut's Sabra and Shatila outcast camps.His
notoriety around Palestinians was such that, in the Gaza Strip, sweets were
passed out in festival of his demise.One senior official in the Fatah
development said he was a criminal whom Palestinians had needed to see on
trial. Palestinian political figure Mustafa Barghouti said while nobody might
as well gloat at his expiration, Sharon had taken "a way of war and
hostility" and had left "horrible memories with Palestinians".
