Pitty the nation - Charles Glass's Lebanon - Part 01

A documentary by Charles Glass. He traces back his Lebanese origins, his work as a journalist in Lebanon during the war and his subsequent kidnapping and release. A very rare and interesting find! I do not own this video. No copyright infringement intended.

Fuck israel !

@willwak and the opposite didn't happen?

Sabra & Shatila being one of the most famous examples-1000 Palestinian civilians murdered by Christian Lebanese militants. Tel al Zaatar and Karantina too.

Both sides slaughtered each other. If you want to bias it in this way you're either ignorant or have a political motive.

I hope to God that every Lebanese that watches this documentary would say "NEVER AGAIN". Lebanon,one country for all of its people. I love you, Lebanon!!!!

@amru33 I read "Pity the Nation" by Robert Fisk.He's a great journalist.He's not Lebanese,Palestinian,Syrian,Is­raeli,Iranian,or Muslim;but an Irish Christian.He states that Lebanese Muslims & Christians,Israelis,Palestinia­ns & Syrians all commited war-crimes,but he clearly mentions that the Kataeb began the war & did more warcrimes than the others.He also adds that the war wasnt Kataeb vs PLO,but Kataeb vs Lebanese national movement allied with the PLO.Pls read "Death of a nation"(Sandra Mackey)

@soundmethod Pls note that in 1948 the Palestinians came against their will as refugees to Lebanon.The government didnt offer them hospitality or any rights but threw them into camps.Unlike Syria,Egypt & Irak,in Lebanon they were denied education,health care & employment.They needed a permit to travel from 1 camp to another.Thus they resented the Maronite-led regime;so did the oppressed Muslims.Due to the inhuman conditions they had to bear,it is inevitable that they teach their kids hatred.Thnx

@abouroy1982 Most reporters share his view.The lebanese Maronite-led regime persecuted the Muslim majority & Palestinians.Palestinians didnt choose Lebanon but were driven out of Palestine.U didnt welcome them but threw them into tents & denied them work permits,health care,education,& rights.Oppression breeds rebellion,so they & the muslims rebelled against the Maronites.Give them rights & they'll breed nobels like Edward Said & Mahmud Darwish.Egypt,Irak,Syria gave them rights so they behaved.

@blastedeardrums The PLO did crimes in Lebanon.They didnt choose to come to Lebanon,they were victims of Israel's annexation of Palestine.In '48 Lebanon threw them into tenets & denied them human rights,work permits & medical care.They needed a permit from the army to go from 1 camp to another.They were oppressed so they rebelled against the regime.Oppression breeds rebellion;give them rights & they'll breed nobles like Edward Said/Mahmud Darwish.Egypt,Syria,Irak gave them rights so they behaved

muslims fuck everything up

the need 2 settle down

[blastedeardrums]

did u ever hear about the black saturday that happened in jordan, kind hussian used the air force to strick the palestinians,that wanted to take over his country,and the arab kings didnt comment on his actions,but when the lebanese president wanted to use the air force against the palestinians the whole arab nation went against that ,it is all because the president is christian that is why

[blastedeardrums]

@kitelooperrr well u only see it from one side , why dont u talk about how the problem begings ,palestinians came to leb as a refuges and suddenly started to wagge war on the lebanese soil. a whole christian villages were destroyed and slaughtered .before talking about tel el zaatar go and dig deep behind the motive palestinians started to put check points on the lebanese soil acting like they are the goverment .people were kidnappened by palestinians.
