Pierre Gemayel, the little one


A poster of the assassinated former Lebanese minister from the Phalange party hangs on a wall in Beirut. The Phalange claim to support the Palestinian cause in public, yet have committed massacres (1982 Sabra and Shatila) of Palestinian civilians in Lebanon. They fought with the support of the US and Israel in the civil war. Pierre's grandfather, also named Pierre, found the Phalangist party after a trip to the Olympic Games in Berlin where he was impressed by the "organization" of the Nazi party and wanted to create something similar in Lebanon.
