JERUSALEM-Prime Minister Menahem Begin said Monday that Israel is providing training, supplies and artilery support to Christian militiamen in south Lebanon. It is Israel's duty"to prevent what he called an attempt at "genocide" by Palestinian forces in Lebanon.

Begin blasted France for failing to intervene on behalf of Christian villagers and soldiers who have been under earch all Issues siege in south Lebanon for months.

He said that "Christian France, the patron of the Maronite Christians for ages. had sold them down the river" to carry favor with the Arab oil-producing countries who support the Palestinians.

IT HAS BEEN known for some time that the Israelis were providing ammunition and training as well as medical and economic assistance to Christian forces in Lebanon, but this is apparently the first time an Israeli leader has acknowledged that Israeli troops are actually participating in the fighting.

Begin toured the Lebanese border area on Sunday. Monday morning he told a delegation of American and Canadian Israel bond-drive leaders that the Christians in south Lebanon "without our help would long ago have been wiped out totally." [...] His remarks about Lebanon were part of a strongly worded denunciation of the Palestine Liberation Organization as a band of terrorists bent on genocide not just gainst the Lebanese Christians but against the Jews in Israel as well.

If you see the link, you will see that the WaPo blames the Christians...which I omitted.

48 years ago - as if there’s not enough happening every day in the world today????

Yet none of the “oil producers” would take in Palestinian refugees.

Today's Lebanon is a result of that failure . As is all Arab Islamic-Apartheid /b> middle East's vanished Christian

[Milagros]

Of course not. Especially after Black September: 7 years earlier

By my rusty recollection, the “palestinians” have been variously kicked out of:

Lebanon
Jordan
Egypt
Saudi
Kuwait
Iraq
Libya
Algeria
Tunisia

Are there any Arab states that haven’t summarily kicked out those worth less “palestinians”?

My aunts father in-law establish the nucleus of the Adventist church in Lebanon, but he is considered also the founding father of the Church in Syria.

Another craven act by the cheese eating surrender monkeys. I thought Lebanon was supposed to be the Arab Christian homeland. I’ll have to throw this at those frogs here that throw stones at “appeasers”.
