To my brothers and sisters in Islam, the first and foremost characteristic of the Anbiyyah (alaihumus salam) was forebearance. Look beyond the propaganda and realize that this is another great game battle. Transcend the microscopic and see whats happening at the macroscopic level.

The conflict in Lebanon is not like that. Interference from abroad has been part of it for centuries but the engines that drive the conflict are all purely local, on the level of individual villages and neighborhoods. The political conflict that you describe is ocurring within a country where identity politics defined by sect and ethnicity has been the norm for hundreds of years. Sect and politics are not separate in lebanon
