Didn't think you'd bother. Here ya go.

Hrmm, 1982 invasion of Lebanon...

Quote:
Israel launched its military operation against the PLO in Lebanon using the attempted assassination of an Israeli diplomat in the United Kingdom as pretext, despite the perpetrators belonging to the Abu Nidal Organization, which was an enemy of the PLO.[14][15][16][17][i] Israel's objectives were to expel the PLO, remove Syrian influence over Lebanon, and install a pro-Israeli Christian government led by President Bachir Gemayel.

So here we have the creation of a terrorist group caused by Israel invading another country on false pretenses. Decades later, Israel is still fighting what they created. Israel had lofty objectives, and obviously failed at them, but did succeed at creating another sworn enemy. My point was, be careful what you do, it may just make things worse later.
