Lebanese cope because they suck and everybody hates them

Trying to "kill the Jews" you say.

For the first half of its existence, Hezbollah was fighting the Israeli occupation of their country, something they never asked for. For the second half it's mostly just done nothing. They have not made an attempt to kill all the Jews in the world or all the Jews in Israel or even a lot of the Jews in Israel. In their biggest cross-border operation they killed three soldiers.

As for why they're a failed state with Hezbollah controlling parts of their territory, it's because Lebanon is pretty much always going to be dominated by Syria. Right now that means the Assad regime and they've chosen Hezbollah to do the fighting there. Plus the Israelis have made every possible choice that would strengthen Hezbollah, going all the way back to 1982 when it was founded by people pissed off at being oppressed by the occupiers. Hezbollah would have been disarmed long ago except that they can make a plausible case that they need the weapons to defend Lebanon the next time Israeli domestic politics causes them to chimp out and invade again. And wow, just like clockwork, Israeli domestic politics is causing them to chimp out and look for enemies.

So I don't know what you're thinking the Lebanese could have done to avoid this fate.
