can u lik summarize it so i can understand cuz its confusing

Answer 1

its not with lebanese and isreal its with hezbollah and isreal, hezbollah killed and kidnapped soldiers from within isreal borders, so since the failed cease fire that isrealis agreed to cannot work they want to get an international force in the border area to protect the isreali people along with the true lebanese innocents....

Answer 2

It's very difficult, because the entire Middle East conflict has to be taken in context spanning the last 110 years and possibly much more. There are some excellent books that give a fair overview, for example:

Sandy Tolan, _The Lemon Tree: An Arab, a Jew, and the Heart of the Middle East_

The specific problem at present is that the Hezbollah organization has been using southern Lebanon and a staging area for repeated launch of missiles into Northern Israel, killing civilians in the process. Israel retaliates by attacking those places from which the launches have occurred, also causing many civilian deaths.

The fact is that "terrorists" use civilian areas as a cover, rather than initiating actions from purely military encampments. This is what properly distinguishes a soldier from a terrorist, that he has crossed a lines from clashes between armies to war against people.

Israel then bears the stigma of killing civilians when launching *any* retaliation against its attackers; it would be difficult for them to do nothing. Hezbollah began this series of attacks in an attempt to force negotiations on the exchange of prisoners. It's very difficult, and lots of relatively innocent people are dying on both sides, as a result, creating yet more vengeful feelings.

Back in the early 1980's, commando organizations also used Souther Lebanon as a base for attacks against Israel, prompting Israel to invade (in 1982, I think) in an attempt to put a stop to it. That only works temporarily. It's a terrible dilemma, and really has been for a long time. I don't thing there is a resolution outside of a comprehensive settlement establishing Palestinian autonomy and/or statehood, with internation guarantees of security of all parties, basically in accord with the original UN plan of 1947 that established the recognized validity of a Jewish State and an Arab State in the area of the former British Mandate of Palestine (itself established by League of Nations after World War I ).
This is all an enormous tragedy and seems as a festering wound, perhaps a cancer in the body of nations.

Answer 3

A group in Lebanon called Hezbollah kidnapped a couple of Israelis and Israel overreacted by bombing the whole country of Lebanon.

It's like as if one of our extremist groups in the U.S. did something bad to Canada, and Canada responded by trying to bomb our whole country. (I say "trying", because unlike defenseless Lebanon, we'd blow their planes to smithereens.)

Answer 4

The Arabs hates Israel.

Answer 5

the confilict is not fighting enough to want to find an easier way for both people.

Answer 6

"Lebanese" kidnapped "Israeli" solders
