...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...'s caretaker prime minister has said that his country is in a state of war as nine months of festivities between Israel and Hezbollah heighten fears of an Israeli invasion of the country.
Prime Minister Najib Mikati made the statement during a visit to southern Lebanon on Saturday, where he said he hoped that the war will not expand, Lebanon's National News Agency reported.
"We are always advocates of peace, and our choice is peace and the implementation of Resolution 1701. Israel must stop its repeated attacks on Lebanon, and stop the war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about

, and everyone must implement International Resolution No. 2735," he said.
UN Resolution 1701, which ended Israel's 2006 invasion of Lebanon, called for the cessation of hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel and the withdrawal of Hezbollah to north of the Litani river and of Israel from Lebanon.
UN Resolution 2735 called for the implementation of a three-stage ceasefire in Gaza, the exchange of hostages and emphasises the need for a two-state solution.
"We are with our people. The resistance is doing its duty, the Lebanese government is doing its duty, and our goal is to protect the country in every sense of the word," Mikati added.
His statements come as the specter of an Israeli invasion heightens, after an increase in the intensity of festivities between Israel and Hezbollah, as well as rhetoric from the two sides. The Israeli army has said it has approved plans for an invasion of Lebanon if requested.
