Journalist Joumana Gebara marks the 50th anniversary of a PLO attack on Christian church in Lebanon - and asks we all share it! Here is her post:
April 13,1975: Please repost the TRUE HISTORY of the massacres committed by Palestinians against the Christians of Lebanon.
The Palestinians and Muslim don't want the West to know so they reported one of my most reposted posts.
50 years ago like today, Palestinians committed a massacre against the Christians in Lebanon. They thought that a couple of Palestinians can
throw the Christians of Lebanon in the Mediterranian. But they found out.
Palestinian terrorists (Hassan Abu al-Ghosh, Saad Nasser, Tarek al-Antbawi) and Syrian PLO terrorist (Souaid al-Hassan) simply opened fire at a church killing at least 4 Christians and injuring others. The Catholic Our Lady of Salvation Church in Ain al-Remeneh was being inaugurated and a baptism was organized.
Joseph Abu Assi, a Kataeb, was going to baptize his child that day. He was massacred and never got to see his child grow up, nor could the child grow up having a father.
Also Antoine Husseini, Dib Assaf and Selman Ibrahim Abou were killed and had a family mourning them.
But the weird part is, when the Christians retaliated the same day and shot back at a bus full of Palestinian terrorists, the world called it a massacre
condemning the Christians. 🤦🤷
Everyone talks about the bus, no one talks about the church‼️
Everyone talks about dead Palestinians, no one talks about the massacred Christians‼️
Everyone talks about the aggressors, the Palestinians, but as if they were victims, while they were massacring the people, the Lebanese, the
Christians of Lebanon, who took them in and settled them on the land owned by the Christian Maronite Church‼️ The Palestinians, who sold their assets and fled.
An upside down world.
Only mentally sane people would understand and narrate the story as it really was.
In memory of all the fallen Christians who died so that Lebanon and the true Lebanese would survive.
We, survivors, remain eternally grateful to the brave and courageous combatants of the Kataeb, Tanzim, Lebanese Forces, Ahrar and Guardians of the
Cedar who sacrificed their life for Lebanon!
