    Not so fun fact about Ariel Sharon and the massacre at Sabra and Shatila:

    As Minister of Defense, he directed the 1982 Lebanon War. An official enquiry found that he bore “personal responsibility” for the Sabra and Shatila massacre of Palestinian refugees, for which he became known as the “Butcher of Beirut” among Arabs.

    He later became the 11th prime minister of Israel.
