If I recall correctly, the charge against Sharon which caused him to resign was essentially that he didn’t understand Arab barbarism. Muslims attacked Shatilla a couple years later killing 600 or 700, wounding in the thousands, no one said a word.

I know nothing about that massacre. Do you have a URL?
I would say Sharon and his officers knew what was going on. Days before the top Christian leaders were killed by a huge bomb. This was payback that the Phalange was eager to deliver. The Sabra-Shatila numbers are probably wildly inflated
