The Palestinians were the catalyst of the Lebanese war. Of course they have a part of responsibility in the destruction of Lebanon. However, let's not forget that it's Israel that expelled these same Palestinians from their homes. The creation of Israel is the direct cause of the presence of PLO in Lebanon. Also, Syria had it's part of responsibility. It sent to Lebanon the most radical Palestinian groups, created baathist Palestinian factions that permitted the entry of the Syrian army under the umbrella of the Palestinian Resistance, it impeded the Lebanese government to solve the Palestinian problem by exercing pressures and embargos. It is certain that Syria has used the Palestinian cause as a mean to destabilize Lebanon and justify the intervention of the Syrian army. Also, after the death of Nasser, Hafez el Assad tried to control the Palestinian resistance to gain in prestige as an Arab nationalist leader. Last, the lebanese themselves are responsible of the war. They failed to build a unified nation. Each Lebanese camp choosed foreign allegiances to solve internal problems and they paid the price for it.

@@ZviJ1 Why were the Palestinians in Jordan in the 1st place. They had been expelled from Israel. That was the cause of this whole mess. Until there is a fair settlement of that situation I don’t see how peace will prevail.

[@ZviJ1]

@Michael Otieno If you want to be a stickler for facts, you cannot expect to be taken seriously when you base this on ignorance. As far as the "background" goes, the vast majority of so-called Palestinians from the 7 decades prior to the Israeli declaration of independence in 1948 were settlers/migrants from neighboring lands in the Middle East and beyond. Expelled? In actual fact, every reputable historian and researcher of this war has found that 85%+ of them had left Israel at the behest of the Supreme Arab Committy before the horrors of warfare would even reach them, once they were promised they would shortly return and celebrate with war spoils taken from the exterminated Jews. OTOH, 900000 Jews from Arab lands were all but expelled and could not leave with their property, which was usurped by the authorities of those countries. They have never been compensated for this. The hostile Arabs cannot expect to attempt annihilating millions of Jews and rob the property of others, continue to attempt genoicide on Israel's Jews, not pay for the Jewish property they stole (yes, also some Palis did this) and also have peace. "The cause of this entire mess"??? Your lopsided concern for the PaliNazis is not helpful in the least.

[@michaelotieno6524]

@@ZviJ1 If you leave your country willing you should be free to return at any time without restrictions. Why is Israel blocking the return of Palestinians that amounts to expulsion. I agree not all Palestinians were forced to leave, some left out of fear and others left due to calls by their leadership but the fact that they can't freely return constitutes an expulsion. Those are the facts. It was wrong when Arab nations expelled their own Jewish communities but what does that have to do with the plight of the Palestinians who never expelled them. Unless you are saying if one Arab wrongs you then it is okay to take revenge on another Arab.

[@AB-xe8wv]

@@ZviJ1 ZviJ1 1)The Palestinians were not settlers. They are arabs. Palestine is an arab land. And the fact that they came from neighboring arabic regions changes nothing. The whole region is arab. The actual division of the arabic nation isn't natural. It's due to the Sykes- Picot deal between the imperialist powers and all the policies implemented by the UK and later the US which objective is to divide the arabs to impede the return of the arabic nation. The creation of Israel is one of these measures. It broked the geographical link between the western part of the arab nation and its eastern part. Additionally, it supported unconditionally the zionist settlers with military, economic and diplomatic help. 2) You are right when you say that the jewish populations of the arabic lands were expelled too. It was totally unfair and and I have a lot of sympathy for them.The arabic jews should definitely be compensated, allowed to return to their homes and be treated as equal citizens of the arabic state. Same is true for all the religious minorities of the arabic state like the oriental christians, the druze, the shiaa , the ismaelite and the alawite. They are all the sons of this Land (unlike the zionist western settlers). However based on the same logic the arabs that were expelled from palestine should have the right to return to their homes and be compensated.

Interesting watch - but I think they could have done more to at least introduce why the Palestinians are in Lebanon. In summary, in 1948; 750,000 Palestinians were forced from their homes and many moved to the West Bank. In 1967, the Israelis then expelled an additional 350,000 during the Arab Israeli war which saw the West Bank being captured. Of course, in any other name this is referred to as ethnic cleansing but when it comes to the Israelis, it's "self-defence".

You fail to mention that those Palestinians refused joining in the country and instead made a pact with all the Arab nations that they would reap the spoils of the war once they had annihilated the Israelis. Things didn’t turn out as they planned. In other words they gambled and lost. Stop taking the victimhood side. Palestinians were taken in by Jordan where they quickly started to want to take over the country. They basically did it in Lebanon too. I wish them good life but blaming their problems on country is pointless after more than 70 years. Violence has gotten them nothing nor has it gotten the Arab world more. On the contrary they have less. Again you go to war and gamble that if you lose you lose land as well. Most of which Israel gave back. Not the Goan Heights though. They are not stupid. Hope that one day Palestinians can find peace. But I doubt they will as Israel is not about to let them walk in and destroy their country as well.

It's too bad the Ottoman Empire imported the Ma'anid Yemeni into Beka'a.

Probably right, but that can be said about many countries. Israel is a small country in a vast Arab world and if the Arabs wanted peace with Isreal and a resolution of the Palestine problem they could have it any time.

[@rimshot6444]

But Israel was not stopped in 2006, it paid a higher price for being caught unprepared that is why in the eyes of Israel the 2006 war is considered a failure, Hezbollah suffered 10 times more casualties than the IDF and at the last day of the war it was the IDF standing on Lebanese soil not a single Lebanese on Israeli soil.

[@tusk3260]

on the contrary Isreal was stopped or rather its army found itself trapped behind enemy lines and was forced to retreat while under heavy fire stopping an army is fairly easy but forcing army to run away after just 1 battle is not something you see every day and on the contrary Hezbollah did take Israeli land in fact they were about to reach Tel Aviv when the UN intervened its only because of the UN intervention that Israel still exists today

[@tusk3260]

also no Hezbollah did not suffer very heavy casualties because Israel only hit dummy targets (fake targets) hezbollah layed a trap and Israel totally fell for it

[@MrGuyJacks]

Tusk Hezbollah was about to reach Tel Aviv? Lol what the hell are you talking abou? Are you completely mad? That never happened xD. And yes Hezbollah suffered major casualties, they admit so themselves. The reason the war was no victory for Israel was because the Israeli military leadership which was used to urban warfare due to years of fighting militants in cities in the West bank, was not used to fighting in Lebanon's mountainous terrain. Additionally no clear strategic goals were set for the boots on the ground. And finally after the bombing of a village which killed a lot of civilians there was immense pressure on Israel from the international community to make a ceasefire

[@tusk3260]

more excuses as usual sorry but it did happen Israel did declare a premature victory then hezbollah did counter attack surround the Israeli tank division and wiped out a quarter of them then entered Israel and started to advance towards Tel Aviv when the UN intervened - but this no longer matters because Erdogan called Israel a terrorist state and he is predident of Turkey the second strongest NATO member not to mention Russia Iron Syria and Hezbollah already wants israel dead and to make things worst the US are no longer recognizing Israel that means Israel is doomed

The cause of (I making this percent up but sounds legit) 85% of wars past and present have had to do with cults ...

The truth is no religious book is written or is the word of god (if there even is a god which meh don't really care if there is or isn't), it is the word of man and has been corrupted by evil "religious" people for generations. This is the time period of the "arab crusades" were if they don't follow their exact religion they kill you just as then not all arabs do this just as not all chirstians where part of the crusade. Similar to our crusades, there is a corrupt/evil religious leader that uses religion for his own nut job needs. Go watch the Book of Eli, super good movie and about the extent of how messed up our world is.
