  During the civil war in Lebanon I used to visit Beirut on business about twice a year, on and off between about 1981 and 1998. It's a lovely place to visit, the food is great, the people are ultra- friendly and hospitable. I used to wander around Muslim areas of west Beirut in the evening soaking up the ambience. I was never threatened in any way. Rather than that, I would be invited into poor families' houses to share their meagre evening meal. I always politely declined (although it can be considered rude to refuse hospitality) Many of the poor people I met were exiled Palestinians whose families had been ousted from their homelands by the Zionist government of the new Israel, created after the war by the Allied powers.
  
  We reap where we sow.
  
  Israel is the only 'democracy' which actively uses terrorism as an instrument of foreign policy. British and American support of this brutal regime is totally indefensible.
