Yes they are paying heavily and so is Lebanon under Hezbollah. They both fell into the same trap. Instead of using common sense, they used their hate for Israel in making their decisions. After 1948, Egypt and Jordan made peace with Israel and that remains to this date. Lebanon could have done likewise and perhaps have gotten the Sheba Farms back. Syria could have done the same thing and possibly have gotten the Golan Hts. back. These people refused peace s o now just look at Syria, a human disaster. Lebanon is bankrupt and a failed state whose people are now robbing banks just to get their own money out, how good is that? Gaza is now destroyed and unlivable.
