Israel is at war in Lebanon again, displacing a million Lebanese from their homes in the southern part of the country, its latest attempt to disarm Hezbollah. This new invasion continues a long pattern stretching back decades, where Israel tries and fails to create a Lebanon it can control. In 1982, that meant picking the country's president amid a destructive civil war. It almost worked — until an assassin's bomb killed Bashir Gemayel. Our guest is historian Ahron Bregman. Ahron Bregman is a historian at King's College London and the author of Israel's Wars: A History Since 1947 . Recommended reading: Lebanon's Negations by Loubna El-Amine (New York Review)
