Back in the days of Lebanon's collapse a woman I knew claimed it was all due to Israel's meddling. I was skeptical then, and when she began to weave the web of conspiracy I knew she was "out there." She made a mean calamari sautee, but I wouldn't trust her knowledge of world affairs. I remember the PLO being ejected from Lebanon as the IDF did the kicking. They fired off their AK47's in the air as a sign of "victory." Victory, as they were 86ed from the former Paris of the Mediterranean by the people they vowed to wipe out.
I knew that there was bad blood between the Palestinians and nations such as Jordan, Egypt, Kuwait, etc. I knew that the Palestinians had a part in the civil war that turned Lebanon from one of the most beautiful, well educated, enlightened parts of the Middle East into a war torn rubbish heap. But I didn't have the wider story, the details. Thanks.
Your in depth analyses have helped me defend against the encroaching flood of thinly veiled (or sometimes undiluted) pro-Hamas propaganda I see here and there, which can be dismaying.

More facts for us to squirrel away. Thanks.
