  • That might actually be true. The Maronites have a long history of collusion with imperialists who stick their snouts into Lebanon. They sucked up to the French and were given jobs in the colonial administration, lording it over the other Lebanese, and when Ariel Sharon invaded Lebanon, they happily joined in the massacres, and even led some.

    Many Maronites act all offended if they’re called Arabs, despite speaking Arabic at home and having many other aspects of Levantine Arab culture. Their cultural identity is separatist and Francophile. Meanwhile, a few miles away, most Palestinian Christians share a Palestinian identity with their Muslim and Druze neighbors.

    They might think they’ll win by being made second-class citizens while their fellow Lebanese are third-class. But in reality, the Israelis will expel or kill them all just the same.
