to Mr.japaneseboy1111: What are you talking about? Israel attacked all Lebanon, they destroyed all bridges, the airport, with no mercy.You are saying b/c of hezballah? Before Hezballah, they would attack villages in the south and fly their military planes over Lebanon all the time. Anyway, God bless Lebanon and the Lebanese, and the world knows how beautiful Lebanon is. Thank you Anthony Bourdain, Lebanon and the Lebanese people love you.
: The hell with israel and hezbollah, especially israel.
To thebenster154: you said israelies don't kill people, you are wrong. They are so good at that. Of course, you didn't like Anthony Bourdain's show about Lebanon, b/c he showed the world how gorgeous my country is and how nice the Lebanese are.
Outsiders, stop talking about things you don't understand and spewing insults after getting bare one-sided facts. Focus on the goddamn show, and stop bashing Israel. Especially if you've never been there, never studied the situation, and are going on nothing but American news reports and food shows on the Travel Network for information.
This fucking idiot cant even spell right its the the Israelis not israelian you fucking moron... And Lebanon can suck dick right along with Palestinians...
hezbollah fired milliles indescriminatly on our northern cities, they did this as a distraction while they crossed our boarder attacked our soldiers who were patrolling the boarder nd they killed and kidnapped 2 of them. the show did not get screwed up because of an israeli attack it was because of an hezbollah attack.we dropeed bombs on roads and bridges to cut of thei abuility to reinforce and rearm hezbollah and th homes where they store their misiles. what would your government do if atacked
@jerkeyjerkforjerks I have heard both sides of the story. The Israelis say the Arabs kidnapped soldiers. The Arabs say that Israel crossed the border fence and provoked a response. Who knows?! I was not there. I do not trust the Arabs, but I do not trust Western media, either.
What I find very interesting is that in 5+ years of TV, Bourdain has never visited Israel.,
Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, and Lebanon merited a visit ... but not Israel!
Didn't the episode show things in the order it happened? It shows Israeli side was attacked first with kidnapping and killing their soldiers, and only after that they start attack/defend back, no? Why does the description say two days later the Israeli attacks started and not 'on the first day the first act of war was committed' as shown in he show?
Besides that. love Anthony! Wonderful TV making and kudos to him and the crew for showing things people don't get to see and should!
I still thonk Anthony's ending premise is correct...get world leaders around a table. Give them good food, and good drink and hope like hell it works. There is no more and no less the rest of us can do. Peace to all, ill will towards none. Come eat at my table, drink of my wine. The more the merrier.
What happens when a food show and israelian attacks are combined? Tony bourdain went to beirut to do a normal food show. Two days after being there, the israelian attacks started. this is youre intro ??? to this video ?? israel attacks???? it was hezballah attacks it was hezzballah killing soldiers and kidnap that got us into that shit ,,,,, its not tony fault or the food or israel its radical hezballah /iran that did that
but israels response was unjustified..you dont go and drop bombs on roads and bridges and homes where you know innocent civilians are going to be..the kidnapping of the two soldiers was israels excuse to just demolish the country had it been any other country there would of been negotiations atleast before an attack like that..it may be true that hezbollah inititated but israels response was not moral or right in any context..Hezbollah didnt have control of the response by israel only israel did
@CMXXXPUNK im not saying what israel is at right...but imagine u r surrounded with less than friendly countries with your country the size of a peanut... i think you tend to be more paranoid and not taking any chances in these kind of situation... besides since when war is about fairness
@CMXXXPUNK Suddenly, Israel was to blame when it was the Muslims who created the problem when they forced Lebanon to absorb the PLO in 1969. Israel was blamed and everyone forgot that Syria invaded first and stayed longer.
Israel's chief problem is its over-reaction and retaliation. But Israel did not cause the problem in Lebanon.
The Christians were fighting for their lives, not to be reaborbed as dhimmis back into the Muslim Umma.
Suddenly, the Christians were outnumbered and persecuted in their own land, where 100 years earlier, Muslims had slaughtered Maronites.
Syria never accepted Lebanon's independence and invaded and occupied the Beqqa. Finally Israel invaded, with a lot of Christians approving. But the Israel intervention was too little, too late.
Christian Lebanon did not hate Israel, but kept up an official hostility chiefly to appease the Muslim minority/street in 1969. The Arabs hated this. They despised the prosperous Western Christian state.
With the arrival of the PLO, PLO abuses provoked Christian responses. The so called initiating bus attack was a provoked by an earlier Muslim attack.
The problem in Lebanon started in 1969, with the Cairo Agreement, which forced Lebanon to take in more PLO (Black September) refugees from Jordan than Lebanon could digest.
Syria could have absorbed the PLO, but the Muslims could not stand a Christian state in their Islamic Umma, so they forced Lebanon - which has almost no standing army - to absorb the PLO, who then took over South Lebanon.
Christian Lebanon secretly traded and got along well with Israel.
I like 2 much this program but I never knew that tape an episode in the libano this year my family and I were clogged in paris for 2 weeks hoping that it was ending lamentably do not end if not up to other next 3 weeks ........
@grenzman That's probably because this seems to be a different show than "no reservations" which is affiliated with travel channel. It was probably shot as one of the pilots before no reservations was ever contracted into travel channel.
I was so sad when I saw this; I had no idea that this happened. I am so glad that everyone got out safe and home with their familes. Anthony you rock!!
If I recall, Hezbollah abducted two Israeli soldiers FIRST, as an unnecessary offensive that prompted the Israeli response. Both countries are at fault - Israel is not the terrorist of the Middle East.
@londongeezar I agree with you Londongeezar...they are over protected by U.S.A and that allows them to do whatever the hell they want to do. No wonder Hitler wanted to get rid of them.
Ok. That seems like a good idea. Let me go kidnap 2 Israeli soldiers who are supposed to watch each others back. Strangely, they were able to kidnap SOLDIERS, just proves what wussies Israel has as soldiers. Then for 2 soldiers being kidnapped a whole uninvolved civilised developed country is bombarded resulting in the deaths of many children?
Looks a lot more like the movie Independence Day, only horribly real.
i see hizballa's end very very soon, and the country will rejoice. the cancer can be either removed, or die with theperson.. eventually it will be gone.
Excellent vid. Hezbollah are scum, sparking a war with Israel by kidnapping two Israeli soldiers in a cross-border attack on Israel. Think peace was possible after Israel withdrew from Lebanon? Think again. As long as Syria and Iran are involved in Lebanon, they will use Hezbollah as a proxy to force their foreign policy goals - in Syria's case, distraction from the Hariri probe; and in Iran's case, distraction from their illicit nuclear program.
bourdain is generally awsome, but in this episode (I feel evil saying this) he lucked into legendary status. It would have been a typical episode but world events made it one of the best ever. Like those documentarian brothers who happend to be filming in the WTC on 9/11.
i know you commented 3 months ago on this clip, but if you really like bourdain check out his book "a cooks tour" it truly is fantastic and worth the read!!
