The f*cked up thing is that Lebanon is also in the heart of "Christendom" and not only that, but the majority of it's population is also Christian.

The catch?

They aren't a US client dictatorship like Israel.

And to the statement that Israel's not a dictatorship? If you want to get specific, it's a Theocratic Apartheid State, but the term dictatorship works well enough in the simple sense.

Personally? I hope they all develop nuclear weapons and wipe themselves and that crappy "holy land" off the map permanently.

Those groups have been at each other's throats for over 3000 years, back when the Palestinians were called Greeks and Israelis were known as Judeans.
