The situation between Libanon and Israel keeps escalading, lates with Israel bombing United Nations (UN) posts for several hours, and at least 4 getting killed in a direct hit from an Israeli tank yesterday.
Israel has been in conflict with Palestina for way too long without having seen any reactions due to it. Especially the lack of response from the USA is devastating. Now, the reason for Israel getting the support it does is most probably related to religious reasons, as well as the number of Israeli citizens living in the US, but hopefully the latest happenings will put Israel in a more critical light, they have had a cart blance too long and should be evaluated on the same terms as others, without religious believes interfering.
I myself have clients that grew up and lives in Libanon, the last time we spoke he said "man, I'm not sleeping, we have to guard our buildings". His brother was stationed at the Presidential Palace, and he lives in fear that his brother might be in it at the time of a bombing.
Interestingly enough he welcomes support from troops against the Hizballah, whether Israeli or from somewhere else.
Good luck to all living in or around Libanon.
