This is a revealing video of Bashir Gemayyel. It is one of his last speeches. It was taped but not intended for public release. The full text contains a lot of blatant sectarian agitation. This clip also contains some comical moments: here, he talks about why the "Lebanese civilization" is better than all civilizations, and why the Lebanese are "more gifted" and "smarter" than everybody else. He also denies that Lebanese are Arabs: "we don't have camels," he said. (thanks Nicolas)
