...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade.

It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect.

And whose fault is that, pray tell?
More than 80 percent of the displaced Lebanese are staying with relatives, according to the report, and only 2% are housed in 14 collective shelters spread across the south of the country, mainly in the coastal city of Tyre and in the Hasbaya region.Everybody knows how it turned out for the Arabs who fled Israel in 1948 and 1967 — nobody in that part of the world wants to be stuck in a UN refugee camp.
