Because i will be showing the film Waltz with Bashir in class i want to shed light about the films war, and what war they are talking about throughout the film. I had no idea that this war ever took place if it wasnt for the film Waltz with Bashir.
This is the basic description from http://academickids.com/encyclopedia/index.php/1982_Lebanon_War
The 1982 Lebanon War, also known as the 1982 Invasion of Lebanon, and dubbed Operation Peace for the Galilee (Shlom HaGalil in Hebrew) by Israel, began June 6, 1982, when the Israel Defence Force invaded southern Lebanon in response to the Abu Nidal organization's assassination attempt against Israel's ambassador to the United Kingdom, Shlomo Argov, but mainly to halt Katyusha rocket attacks on Israeli population in the northern Galilee region launched from Southern Lebanon. Israels objective was to push out PLO militants about 40 - 50 kilometers to the north. But during the whole raid many things happened the creating and slaughter/massacre of refugee camp Sabra and Shatila among others. In the film Waltz With Bashir we will be able to be enlightened more on what really happened in those refuges camp..
