To their credit they're finally trying to fix this. It's too bad that it had to come to this in order to get them there. Innocent people are caught up in the mess now.

Lebanon should be a warning for Europe.

Lebanon was an awesome vacation spot before the muslim population became the majority.

The Christian/muslim population was in relative harmony in lebanon until the Palestinians were thrust upon them by…



Israel

You are so knowledgeable regarding zionism yet ask a question of the Israeli/ Lebanon scrap.

Is your hezbollah pita leavened or unleavened?

These people are literally sympathizing with terrorist organizations up in here.

True but don’t think for one minute if given the chance that Israel wouldn’t wipe the Arabs off the face of the earth.

They hate each other. That fight and hatred goes back to biblical times when Abraham had a bastard son by his wife’s servant, Ishmael. Even though Ishmael was the firstborn, Abraham’s 2nd son Isaac took preference because he was the legitimate promised son by God through his wife Sarah. This led to resentment and conflict by Ishmael and he and his mother were banished. Ishmael lineage is the Arabs while Isaac’s lineage is the Israelites.


The whole conflict over millenia causing who knows how many wars and deaths goes back to this. Basically, Abraham couldn’t keep it in his pants and pussy wins again.

Your name was not ever mentioned. Why would you feel that way or do you prefer to be called "these people"?

I see people arguing two different sides as if two things can't be true at the same time.

First, Israel probably doesn't care about Christian casualties among the Muslims because Israel only cares about western Christian money, and very little for Christianity in general. Many in Isreal, mostly the growing Orthodox sect, also consider Christianity a threat to the Jewish people and want preaching the gospel to be illegal in Israel and have advanced legislation (that has currently been shot down) to make it so.

Israel also has to deal with real existential threats, and they can only use a scalpel so often. Contrary to the arm-chair generals online, real Israelis are dying from attacks from Hezbollah, and they essentially function as an insurgency when attacking Israel. There are limitations on what you can do when your enemy looks like a civilian. I assure you Israel isn't sitting around with an acceptable number of deaths before taking action.

That being said, Lebanon is culpable for not dealing with the problem. They can be eradicating Hezbollah and increasing political ties with Israel and the West. Instead, they are letting a UN who has super limited combat ability patrol southern Lebanon instead of dealing with the issue themselves. It's BS, and they are not stepping up to protect their own citizens. "Peacekeeping" missions that refuse to actually combat terrorists are worthless.

Basically, taking a side and not admitting that it isn't black and white is just intellectual dishonesty. This is way more complex than Israel or Hezbollah bad, though Israel is at least trying to operate as a nation and Hezbollah is just masquerading as a political party.

You state this from easily obtainable public sources. Israel is definitely no friend of ANY Christian faith. If fact, zionist hate Christians as much or more than muslims. How people seem to gloss over this is amazing to me.

They did indeed say this which is why nobody cares as Netanyahu cries about some Iranian missiles hitting civilian infrastructure.

This is true. It cuts both ways. And is exactly why I look for Trump to wash his hands of it and walk away. I'll be upset if he doesn't.

frick these people. Both sides.
