Lebanon | war in the middle east | Land Without peace | This Week | 1978

I watch these more than I do the actual news even though these events have already happened decades ago, modern news reporting has really gone downhill.

Watching this 2023… sameshit

Watching this in 2023 and the zionist colonials have the same talking points

I am astonished how clear and neutral this report is.

The 100,000 or so Palestinians who fled to Lebanon after the 1948 conflict were mainly absorbed into Lebanese society, albeit at a lower social level. What Lebanon couldn’t handle was the 300,000 arriving from Jordan some 20 years later, associated with the P.L.O., after being exiled following more conflict. Presumably these were the occupants of those awful Refugee camps and too many for Lebanon to integrate. Noticeable is how well ‘armed’ these refugees were, and I understand from Lebanese friends that there was much unease outside of Parliament at this ‘military’ build up but no action taken to stop it. The evasive ‘double talk’ of the Leaders interviewed no doubt mirrored the prevailing laissez faire attitude to governing the Country. Of course not all of the refugees were P.L.O. Members but it was fertile grounds for recruitment. Apart from the sadness I feel for the continued ruin of Lebanon, one thing I notice and wonder if my opinion is correct: the Jordan exiles fled to Lebanon, not to Syria. Could this be due to Assad Snr being stronger than the Lebanese Government and refusing to accept them, due to the P.L.O. Association.

This is what happens when you displace a people and colonize their land. Do you think they just going to just roll over and die? They get pushed around, disrupt other communities bringing chaos and death. Also it’s crazy how the Israeli leaders and generals speak with the same hubristic attitude they have today.

History repeats it self

How is it that most people speak english well and talk with a more sense then today.

As Lebanese we can not keep our country a paper for any country or party we do not want to make peace until all the Arabs make it but we have suffered a lot and we want independent country no Iran nor Syria or other countries handles our souls

What has happened to the Drive In and Wheels motoring programme clips?

That's a little bit scary why all Lebanese civil war videos are recommended for me by the way I am Lebanese

@ThamesTv - Keyboard broken ?

Any time, any place, if the leaders were not evil, racist, greedy, and/or corrupt, there would be Peace.

And now Hezbollah is in Lebanon with hundreds of thousands of rockets. These are not defensive weapons. How long will Lebanon be peaceful? I don’t believe we will see peace in our time.

It seems like nothing changed. But now they have the magical word "Hamas"

It’s either Saudis Arabia or Israel always involved

I wish peace for everyone

Isreal the most far away state of America next to Hawaii never ever meant with Israel

Yeah, the peaceful Palestinians, it took the Israeli army and with all it's military power 2 months to round them up in Beirut before leaving Lebanon with their tails between their legs. Lebanon was the Jewel of the Middle East before the Palestinians came in as a refugees, look at it today. I'm not against the Palestinian cause in Palestine but we must not forget that the Palestinians themselves occupied the majority of Lebanon with their ambition to take control over the land. The irony.

I know the history. My opinions and arguments would be pointless. I wish for peace ✌️ ☘️
