Imagine not only admitting your father was a fascist (is a fascist?) but also being proud of it while demonizing Palestinians.

      If this in actual inquiry. They were awful murderous, genocidal, decrepit creatures. The Christians of Lebanon (maronites) dominated politics since the French took over the region. They applied strict ethnic-religious apartheid against non-Christians, and barred minorities from taking high position jobs within society, even some towns were strictly meant for Christian maronites only.

      The 1967 war, and expulsion of Palestinians from their homeland into neighbouring regions changed the demographic makeup for lebanon, no longer was it a Christian dominated country, but now a Muslim one. So the minorities began protesting for greater equal rights, the state began shooting, and many of these created militias went into Palestinian refugee camps, and burned every single one of them, trying to cull the muslim population into being a minority again.

      Many of these militias belonged to the falangist ideology, some I remember even advocated for neo-Nazism. In short the Christian militias were fascists whom were funded and supported by the west.

      The Lebanese Phalanges Party, a right-wing political party.

      [Pierre] Gemayel [the founder] never denied his desire to replicate the youth organizations of Nazi Germany, and the name was taken from Francisco Franco’s (1892–1975) Falange Española, a fascist political party.

      [In 1982] Bashir Gemayel was elected president of Lebanon, but he was assassinated before he took office. After his assassination, militias loyal to the Lebanese Forces (a collation of right-wing militias under the control of the Phalanges) entered the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps and massacred hundreds of Palestinians (and some Lebanese) civilians.
