Lebabon was not a war zone. Do you suggest that prople should not visit Israel?
Hey...DON"T VISIT BALTIMORE.
Why should my tax dollars go to protecting some tourist who takes a wrong turn and ends up in the morgue.?
Lebanon has been a war zone for years crawling with terrorist militias, with just a short break from the fighting for a few years that was inevitably going to break out again because the govt. there tolerated the presence of Iranian and Syrian backed terrorist groups intent on attacking Israel, including 20% of their parliament being controlled by these same people.
And yes, I would probably suggest that Israel is not the safest place to go on vacation especially as missiles stream in by the day. But at least there's a functioning government in Israel better able to protect the lives of vacationers. The same cannot be said of Lebanon.
Lebanon is/was on the travel with caution list, or whatever it is called.
