Well... the use of words like 'illegal', belligerent' and 'invading' in this sentence are almost carelessly patched together. It's never a smart idea to start history with a random date as it inevitably leads to simplified views.Then you have Hezbollah, a Lebanese militia fighting against the illegal occupations and invasions of Lebanon by Israel. It wouldn't exist if Israel wasn't belligerent and an invading force [...]
We have to consider terrorism and the role/activities of the PLO back then, the political situation in Lebanon (civil war) at the time and the role of Syria in it, the talks between Israel and the US, as well as the high tension stemming from the Six Day War (speaking of 'illegal'), further back the war in 1948, Balfour etc etc etc etc. Well, we could just as easily point to the failed British politics of appeasement... ... Add to that the political and religious fundamentalist thinking of certain groups of people on both sides and here we are.

Anyway, back to topic:
"The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country [...] there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land [...] for too many of our citizens, a different reality exists [...]"
This is in a nutshell, I think, why Trump won and it also points to the people who, I project, will be disappointed most by him. But as I said already I am hoping for unexpected surprises to come along.
