U.S. policy on Israel, Lebanon must change

Cross post from Editorials. The historical summary makes it worth the trouble, not that the rest is bad.

The current eruption of violence and tragedies along the Israeli-Lebanese border may have come as a surprise to many. During preceding weeks, the world's attention was focused on violence and tragedies occuring elsewhere in the region, in Gaza and the West Bank and in nearby Iraq.

Ever since Israel was born through U.N. mandate in 1948, the 60-mile border between Israel and Lebanon has remained clearly demarcated. Other borders in the region have changed, usually in the wake of extraordinary violence, in 1949, 1967, 1982 and 2005.

Yet despite the clarity of the Israeli-Lebanese border, tragedy and violence have continued along it for over half a century.

In order to understand the present, it is important to understand the recent past.

And then he goes into the past ...

I am already aware of that stuff. It's a more complicated than that. Demonizing Jews or Zionists doesn't get you much more than demonizing muslims or Palestinians. I don't care for Hillary, or her husband, but that has far more to do with US politics than their sheeplike conformism when it comes to Middle Eastern affairs.
