Mr. Speaker. the release of the Israeli Commission of Inquirys report on the Beirut massacre is a tremendous testimony to the strength and vitality of democracy in that country. The events of last year in Beirut tossed Israel into a painful. soulsearching process. Certainly. the disaster at the refugee camps was a horrible and regrettable episode and cannot be quickly forgotten. But the Israelis have asked themselves the tough questions and have come up with answers. Lebanon. on the other hand. despite the obvious involvement of the Lebanese Phalangists. has not engaged in such a thorough investigation. There are very few countries in the world that would willingly emulate this process under similar circumstances.
