Anthony Bourdain on Larry King Live, Discussing Beirut

[kingo904]

@ darusdei actually I don't know anyone that thinks jews or israeli's are stupid...but im not going to get into a conversation with you about all the computer and medical innovations that israel contributes to the world. after all im replying to a dumb ass who is calling anyone commenting on this "yanks". get back inside your trailer i think i hear your cousin calling you i mean your wife.

[Darusdei]

Amusing to see a bunch of yanks commenting on foreign affairs when they propably don't even know where the country is or better yet, where their own is...

[jillsofi]

 I LOVE TONY THAT I DON NEED TO TRAVEL I TRAVEL WITH HIM ALL OVER THE WORLD

[alaazahra]

Actually you doubted you can show the world again what a wonderful city it is , after 4 years, its that paradise again, your welcomed here anytime

[JimAsian1]

Hi, thanks for this, I appreciate it. if anyone has the Live version of this, please post it. I have this somewhere on DVD, I think.

[translationwiz]

If the soldiers were captured in Southern, Hizballah, Lebanon; I dont understand why Beirut was bombed? It doesnt make any sense. Beirut is far away from the border where the hostilities occurred. I mean, if you HAVE to attack civilians to satisfy your anger......do it where the attackers are. IF you must attack civilians. Attacking Beirut was unnecessary.

peace/paz/salam/shalom.

[kingo904]

@translationwiz because Israel was fighting Hezbolla which is a terrorist organization. The reason they were fighting in places like Beirut is because they hide within the civilians, so maybe if there government were to stand up to these terrorist and eradicate them, then civilians wouldn't have to lose there lives.

[Darusdei]

@kingo904 Oh so that justifies bombing civilian targets...

lol... and then you wonder why everyone calls you stupid?

[paul92419]

Those were your sisters? Tony bourdain calls it like it is. Love to you and your family from Ireland. God Bless.

[3hewson]

God bless Lebanon!!!

[tyty990099]

zionist PIGS!!!

[ErickReyKing91]

That Episode in Lebanon was a Really Good!!!

Was Really Bad What happen But What Bourdein Report was Good!!!

[stclairn]

Tony Bourdain has some of the best insight about the average person in places we only hear about on the news.

[zakk963]

ramsay, an idiot?? u should read his bio sometime. great book, great guy. and def one of the top restraunteers in the world. look at the list of places tied in with his name

[tobie5000]

Your sisters are amazing. How are all of you now?

[getchi]

because gordon ramsey is an idiot.

Also, before you hate the arabs or the jews, ask yourself who told you they were bad?

Cause i bet it wasnt the arabs or the jews, it was an american.

[earmah1]

Ramsay is not an idiot.

[VABkWrm]

Now, why can't Gordaon Ramsey be this articulate and intelligent?

[earmah1]

You apparently have never listed to Gordon Ramsay. Ramsay's one of the best chefs in the world. Definatly better than Bourdain. It's what the 3 Michelin stars is all about.

[powerbookg]

This is exactly what I thought when I was in Lebanon; so much potential!! Hezbollah can go to Hell, they want to turn Lebanon into a terror state.

[yankhotshot333]

ur right

[gratefullydead67]

Well Maybe Israel can stop occupying Lebanon...

[clearpalms]

all of you can be very unawarre- as yankhotshot said go there- ive been - dont be so dramatic and crazy- no one that is extreme is doing the "right" thing- its about truth so dont be all hating one nation until you really know the truth

[yankhotshot333]

SEE DONT JUDGE COUNTRIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST UNTIL U GO AND SEE THEM FOR URSELF!! hes so right, it is paradise

[beebee91396]

ABSOLUTELY!!!! ITS HEAVEN ON EARTH! even if there is a war, life over there is still the same, kids out running around playin, ppl partying, ppl on the beach... god bless lebanon and all its ppl. and hizballah actually helped lebanon. israel was also encouraged to do this by america because they r i guess "friendly to eachother" by george bush. oh and im in america. it was the government and army.

[K4502]

It is sad that country is almost destroyed beacause the actions of a few idiots.

[quiksilver87]

remove all muzzies from lebanon...and it will be fine

[rhododendron2]

Muzzy is a fictional character

[amathongo]

I Have friend from Beirut in SA-its such a pity as they were building up their toursim and the foods great.

[dataclast]

Its a real shame that lebanon is still suffering, psh thats Hezbollah for you

[000oKINGoKONGo000]

It not Hezbollah. It's Israel. Hezbollah captures 2 people, and more than 1,000 people, mostly innocent, are annihilated by Israeli bombs. Lebanon's suffering is directed by Tel Aviv and Washington and Bikfaya, not Dahieh and Baalbek.

[sarayo283]

who started the whole conflict? hizallah. do u think every one thinks like hizballa freaks do? its not ok to waste a human life like u zombies do. and the worst part is, u do what u think is a brave act by capturing two soldiers from a country that can wipe lebanon out and then you hide between civilians causing thousands of innocent lives to die.

D.T.H!

[bigjaytexas]

This was just the excuse Israel needed to attack lebanon,Israel wants a piece of every country surrounding it,they are the main terrorist in the middle east.

Remember the USS Liberty everyone.

[Robbob9933]

Yes, the USS Liberty was a signals intellegence ship that was in a maritime exclusion zone between Egypt and Isreal during a shooting war. It was not flying any flag or standard at the time it was attacked contrary to what a few former Liberty crew say. The attack ended shortly after a flag was raised. If Isreal really intended to sink the ship, they had more than the opportunity and means to do so. They was trying to get the ship to surrender. Hence the 15 minutes between strafing runs.

[jason22160]

im lebanese... and israel is just retaliating against attack. They took it that far because they are doing us the favor of eliminating hezbollah at last.

[beebee91396]

israel started the whole conflct. they wanted lebanons water cus they r all deserts. hizballah was on lebanons side fighting w/ the lebanese army against israel! lbanon is a strong country and always rebuilds itself... no matter wat

[iluvpaintball55]

wow ur so stupid sarayo283 all you do is listen what your told on the news but lebanese KNOW THEYRE country so shutup and stop being a sheep

[sarayo283]

yeah yeah.. i'm a sheep? lol :D lets end it like this buddy. sa7tein.

[victordesdesantiago]

T THIK THE SAME,TONY IS VERY HONEST

[Elesti]

Really good and honest video, it represents exactly how I feel about this whole situation. Also I wanna add that I was at all raves in the last 3 years and they were all crazy (espacially C Cox). thats the image we wanna show

[taliejor]

hey there, I'm Lebanese, been living abroad for some years & this is what I try telling everyone about Beirut! I'm sure gonna pass this video on! I was in Lebanon 2 months before all this happened, working on a project that portrays the real image of the Lebanese, & not only the one that people get through the media...

[djmadjam]

Please pass this video on... and check my other videos on the AMAZING parties we've had over the years in beirut.,.. just get a feeling as to how amazing Carl Cox, Tiesto, Steve Lawler and other big DJs loved lebanon...

[whereisevan]
