| | For Lebanese Communist Party ideologue Mahdi ‘Amil, the ‘April 23 uprising’ (‘Intifada’) was a political and ideological achievement of ’historic significance’, with it, ‘Lebanon's class struggle began’ and a new political force was born ‘to break the hold of the bourgeoisie-controlled’ political system and ‘to protect the Palestinian Resistance. | | | The occasion for turmoil was a demonstration called for by several Lebanese Leftist and Arab nationalist parties led by Kamal Jumblatt to protest against ‘the reactionary policies of the Lebanese government towards Fedayin action’ and to call for ‘the opening of southern borders for guerrilla operations against Israel'. | | | Demonstrations were held in Beirut to protest the policies of the Lebanese government towards Arab causes’ and the Palestinian revolution. |

| | Lebanese leader Kamal Jounblat was assassinated near a Syrian checkpoint on March 16, 1977, after publicly criticizing the Syrian invasion of Lebanon. | | | After the Syrians attempts to spark a sectarian conflict between Christians and Druze in Chouf region failed, rather that unified the Lebanese against the Syrian military interference in Lebanon, Syria assassinated the Druze leader Jounblat and followed that by killing 250 Christian civilians in the city. | | | Thousands of Lebanese prisoners have died in Syrian prisons under torture. |

| | The first thing to remember about Lebanese political parties, as mentioned in Part 1 of this series, is that they aren't the dominant force in national politics. | | | One Lebanese feudal family I'd appreciate your comments on would be the Alawites especially given their dominant role in Syria and their personification in the interim leader of Iraq. | | | The party still exists and is one of the few Lebanese organizations advocating non-consociational liberalism, but it's a voice not too many people want to hear at the moment. |
