Kataeb Party - Ideology

Ideology

• The primacy of preserving the Lebanese nation, but with a "Phoenician" identity, distinct from its Arab, Muslim neighbors. Party policies have been uniformly anticommunist and anti-Palestinian and have allowed no place for pan-Arab ideals.
• A nationalistic ideology that considers the Lebanese people, particularly Maronites, distinguished nation independent from the Arab nation. It considers Lebanese sometimes a Phoenician and sometimes a Syriac people.
• Independent, sovereign and pluralistic Lebanon that safeguards basic human rights and fundamental freedoms to all its constituents.
• Lebanon a liberal outlet where Eastern Christianity can socially, politically and economically flourish in peace with its surrounding.
