Is it any small wonder that the fascist party of Lebanon supported a military and diplomatic alliance with Israel?

The Kataeb is the Lebanese Fascist party, headed by the Gemayel family. I like kebabs too, though.

Well, considering the Gemayels have been allies with Israel ever since they ran into Shia extremists, I'd say no.

But the Kataeb is openly fascist, built after Franco's Spain.

No. Both sides knew what the other supported. They were, and are, more similar than different.
