Troops fired warning shots, and direct fire in some cases, at the suspects who approached the area. There are several Lebanese people dead and wounded in the incidents. Four Hezbollah operatives were also detained today.

    Against my better judgement, I’ll take a crack at this.

    American racism, as displayed in the Family Guy meme, is based on skin color. In Israel/Palestine, racism is not based on skin color. Jews aren’t all light skinned, and Arabs aren’t all dark skinned.
