The Arab Socialist Action Party – Lebanon or ASAP–L (Arabic: حزب العمل الاشتراكي العربي - لبنان | Hizb al-'Amal al-Ishtiraki al-'Arabi - Lubnan), is the Lebanese branch of the Arab Socialist Action Party. The party is the Lebanese equivalent of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).

Origins

The party was founded by George Habash in 1969 and was closely linked to the PFLP, which Habash also led.[1][2] The party held its first congress in 1972, during which it distanced itself from other communists by advocating violence as the best means by which to end class conflict.[3] Although a secular group, most of the party's membership came from the Shia Muslim community.[3]

The ASAP–L in the Lebanese Civil War

The ASAP–L was a member of the Lebanese National Resistance Front during the Lebanese Civil War.[4] In 1976, the party confiscated the estates of the Shia za'im Kazem al-Khalil at a village near Tyre. The purpose of the confiscation was to turn the estates into a collective; but the SAAP soon lost control of the estates in 1982 with the Israeli invasion.[3]

The party's leader Hussein Hamdan took part in the founding of the Lebanese National Resistance Front, along with George Hawi of the Lebanese Communist Party and Mohsen Ibrahim of the Communist Action Organization.[5]
