Conflict between Israel and the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah has prompted concerns from the US that it risks turning into a wider regional war.

The two sides have exchanged fire across the Lebanon-Israel border in recent weeks. Hezbollah said it is fighting Israel to support Hamas in Gaza.

Israel's military said that operational plans for an offensive in Lebanon had been "approved and validated".

The US sent its envoy to both sides of the border this week to try to resolve the conflict and to try and find diplomatic solution.

  • "The British administration in Palestine institutionalized racism." Churchill's racism was shared by members of the force which he helped establish. Describing how Palestinians in Haifa protested against Zionism and the British Mandate, he wrote: 'Most of us were so infected by the sense bringing in the black and tans of our own superiority over "lesser breeds" that we scarcely regarded these people as human.' Churchill' wrote, 'arrogantly dubbed all Palestinians, whether they were Muslims, Christians or Jews' as 'wogs.' By the time they had decided to quit, the British had already created the conditions necessary for the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. As they prepared to leave, the British authorities displayed a nonchalant attitude towards the continued acquisition of arms by Zionist forces. –Source: Balfour's Shadow by David Cronin 2017 A Century of British Support for Zionism and Israel

    Ask Palestinians on their daily life instead of asking settlers came from Europe and USA
  • Palestinians have every right to resist the occupation and apartheid by any means available and for as long as the occupation continues.

    He doesn't know why? those people have been exiled from their home. So you can't live in peace in your home.
  • @SamsonBiggz
    They just can't see the hypocrisy. I do not feel sorry for them at all.

    Lets say that the test for Israel to live peacefully in the region was that how can it build a stable relationship with the native palestinians, and the arabs, Israel failed that test and keeps failing it, because long term peace with palestinians and zionism are 2 opposite things. You cannot illegally blockade Gaza and keep the West Bank under military occupation, taking away all rights from palestinians and keep stealing their land slowly with illegal settlements, and at the same time you claim that even if you have the full support of the US to do anything to build peace you dont even try.
