Lebanon

No. Israel has no petroleum to export, so cannot legitimately aspire to membership in any organization of petroleum exporting countries.

Even if Israel had petroleum to export, it is unlikely that it would be able to join OPEC because over half of that organization's membership does not recognize the State of Israel.

Lebanon is in the Eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea but not at the end.

You need to be more specific about which war in Lebanon you are referring to. There have been several in the last 30 years.

If you are referring to the latest clashes in southern Lebanon (circa 2006), that fighting was between the IDF (Israeli Defense Force) and Hezbollah (one of the major paramilitary powers in Lebanon). The United States was not involved militarily.

The Lebanese Civil War of the 1980s involved various Lebanese factions, Syria, and Israel in addition to foreign peacekeeper forces.

Lebanese people themselves are divided into 2 major ethnic groups.

1- Whites or Caucasians , these are mostly Christian Lebanese that did not mix with the Arab invaders of Lebanon. Christian Lebanese are from Phoenician/Aramaic ancestry mostly found in Mount Lebanon, they mixed extensively with crusaders and other west Europeans.

2- Arabian/Turkish/African ancestry, those are mostly Muslim Lebanese. The Arab/Muslim invasion brought several dark skinned Arabians that settled on the Lebanese coast and mixed with Ottoman and North African invaders.

Notes: Durzi people fall under category 1

5-7% of Lebanese are ethnic Armenians that moved to Lebanon after the Turkish genocide of early 1900s.

The PLO set up in southern Lebanon for two reasons: the first is that none of their "brother Arab" countries wanted them--they were driven out of Syria and Kuwait, and while a large number lived in Jordan, they were considered "other" by the dominant Hashemites. Lebanon accepted some of them, although many remained in refugee camps. The other reason was that southern Lebanon is bordered by the state of Israel, (much of which until 1948 was known as Palestine; both Jews and Arabs dispute which group should own the land). The proximity of Southern Lebanon to the state of Israel enabled the PLO to launch offensives, in an effort to defeat the Israelis and recapture land they believed was theirs.

Israel is directly south of Lebanon and west of Iran.

Tiberias is on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee.

Lebanon, Asia - 4,035 square miles.

In the 1980s, France, alongside the United States, supplied peacekeeping troops to help stabilize the situation in Lebanon during the Lebanese Civil War, particularly in response to the presence and activities of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in Beirut. This multinational force aimed to restore order amid the chaos and violence of the conflict. However, their mission faced significant challenges and ultimately ended after the tragic bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in 1983, leading to their withdrawal.

The Jordan River is the/a key water source to Israel, Lebanon and Syria.

In Lebanon, there are a lot of birds mamals snakes and stuff like this. But the most common animals especially in the mountains are wolfs lezards and wild pigs at night. Also half of the immigrant European and African birds setle there for a short period to rest. But because of the pollution there are a lot of animals and especially birds that are dying.

What ever you want, clothes and electronics... Make sure you come in May or July, the sales are like 80% here.

Lebanon is definitely not a third world country. When people say a third world country, they directly think about living in tents, with no running water, and living on a dollar a day. But that is, by far, not the case is Lebanon.

Also, i dont think a third world country could have the number 1 bar in the world . Skybar look it up.

Hope this helped.

Beirut is the capital of Lebanon.

From 1975 until 1990, Lebanon was involved in a civil war. Therefore, it was not a safe place to visit or to live during the 1980's.

There is no country named Palestine. However, there is the Negev Desert in Israel.

When you look it up in a Lebanese dictionary, you will get "Jid", but we always called my Lebanese grandfather "Jidi". It was pronounced zhiddee. Hope this helps. Jid is "a Grandfather"...Jidi is "my Grandfather" Jido is "his grandfather"

The word siti means my grandmother in Lebanese. The word sita means her grandmother and sito means his grandmother
