From Beirut to Bosnia is a three part documentary by Robert Fisk shown on the Discovery Channel focusing on Lebanon, Palestine, Egypt and Bosnia. It spans different nations and different peoples, but the problems and tragedies, the false hopes and betrayals, these are always the same. Muslims all over the world bear the brunt of Western foreign policy and local dictatorial rule. They pay the price of these policies and adventures with their land, freedom, property and lives. This mixture, of oppression, poverty and abuse has alienated millions of Muslims from their own governments as well as from some in the West. Today we witness a region on fire, plagued with instability. Robert Fisk analyses some of the root causes of the conflicts and tragedies we hear about daily.

This Films for the Humanities production focuses its capable eye on Lebanon's guerilla war that aims to liberate southern Lebanon from Israeli control. The scope of this tragic conflict is brought into sharp focus in this documentary through the use of extensive interviews with participants from the Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad movements, views of civilian casualties caused by Israeli air attacks, and photographic evidence of the ongoing destruction of life and property in the region. The viewer should be advised that this video contains some disturbing scenes of this conflict.

  • using white phosphorus is a war crime.

  • I have grown to become sickened by the mess my country has created. I know that the world hates the U.S. but please don't hate us citizens hate our leadership who have their own agendas and no matter who we vote for they all have their own agendas and listen little to us.

  • Based on this interveiw and other events its clear that there will never be peace because the muslims wont allow it as long as an israeli still lives. all the west talk of peace there is worthless.

  • A splinter group of the Iranian-and Syrian-supported Hezbollah organization carried out the attack, which allegedly was planned by a man who later inspired Osama bin Laden. Then a tiny guerrilla outfit, Hezbollah has grown into a political and military force in Lebanon.

    Most of the 1,500-man Marine expeditionary force was bunked in a four-story concrete building.

    241 died: 220 Marine Corps, 18 Navy, three Army, 58 French soldiers. and now hez is the government of lebenon

    Frustration and anger can be mixed up with hate. Some people just can't take something anymore, and snap.
