The influx of Palestinians into Lebanon, particularly after the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, exacerbated ethnic tensions by increasing the demographic and political pressures on an already fragile sectarian system. The presence of a large Palestinian refugee population led to competition for resources and political power, creating friction between various Lebanese communities, especially between Muslims and Christians. This situation was further complicated by the involvement of Palestinian armed groups, which contributed to the destabilization of the country and ultimately played a significant role in igniting the Lebanese Civil War in 1975. The conflict deepened existing sectarian divides and transformed Lebanon's political landscape, leading to prolonged violence and instability.

What are the conflicts between Palestinians and Hellenists?

What religions are in conflict in Palestine?

It depends what you mean by "Palestine". If you are referring exclusively to the Palestinian Territories, there are abuses by Muslim Palestinians of Christian Palestinians and the defacing of their holy sites and monuments. Additionally, there is a conflict between Jewish Israeli Settlers and Israeli Soldiers and Palestinians (both Muslim and Christian). If you are using "Palestine" as a shorthand for "Israel and Palestine", then the religions in the conflict are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. However, those religions are not at conflict. The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict is a ethnic/nationalist conflict where religions are used as ethnic identifiers (similar to the 1990s in Yugoslavia). It is not a theological conflict.


Why are Israelis torturing Palestinians?

There is an ethnic and national conflict between Israelis and Palestinians and therefore there are several cases of Israeli Security Forces torturing Palestinians. Additionally, a number of the laws used in the Occupied Territories are subject only to Israeli Military Review which prevents Civil Law from taking action to prevent such abuses. However, it is incorrect to assume that all Israelis or even most Israelis torture Palestinians.
