Marada is not allied with Israel or Kataeb, even Kataeb hates Israel now after they bombed head of lebanese christians. Phoenicianism is not officially ideology of Marada, there was a Marada chairman once that said “we the arab maronite christians will defend Lebanon against israeli threat” during 2006 conflicts. Also mardaites were not phoenicians, remember that medieval people in current Lebanon had no connections with phoenicians, they were a mix of persians, armenians, greeks and arabs (most ghassanids and other groups) according to the great lebanese historian Kamal Salibi, also every christian community of Syria and Lebanon had autonomy during caliphates and sultanates times
