⚫ Between 1969 and 1982, Yasser Arafat and his Palestinian militias ran over Lebanon, used the country a springboard for their war on Israel, inviting retaliation, starting a civil war that killed 300,000 Lebanese and destroyed a once thriving country.
In 1982, Israel ejected Palestinian militias from Lebanon the same way it is decimating Hamas in Gaza today.
In 1983, Syria's Assad again ejected Arafat, who had returned to northern Lebanon, because Assad thought of himself as the sole Arab leader, and didn't welcome competition or sharing, just like Hamas massacred 350 Palestinian Authority partisans and took over Gaza in 2005.
Assad forces occupied Lebanon between 1976 and 2005.
Neither Palestinians nor Syrians have apologized to the Lebanese. On the contrary, both Palestinians and Syrians still accuse every Lebanese who wants out, i.e. who calls for Lebanon's neutrality, of being a sellout to Zionism, imperialism, settler colonialism, Global North and similar nonsense.
Until these Arabs cure themselves of their illnesses and arrive at internal peace with themselves, no matter how many times Sec Blinken visits the Middle East, there will never be Arab peace with Israel or a Palestinian (or a Syrian or a Lebanese) state.
