From Beirut to Bosnia Part 2 (The-Road-to-Palestine)

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.

Also, wtf. How can you be so delusional to think that since an old book says you were given the land, you can displace people, bomb them, destroy their homes, ignore their basic needs, and kill their children.

Even if you believe in the Torah, you have to realize it was probably written when Jews were living there. Times change. Get over it. Live with what you were given and stop taking from others. No religious text gives you that right.

@usmc7242 @creamypouf8 's talking about the Israelis displacing and killing people in Palestine based on the idea that the land was promised to them. He wasn't talking about the Muslims at all. The Torah is a Jewish text, not an Islamic one. Please do the bare minimum research before weighing in your opinion online.

@costa020 You can find a lot of solid and actual dates in Fisk's columns at The Independent. Just do a bit of research there through the database.

if anybody reads this, I have been following the pro-palestine movement for quite a while now but am now looking for a list of systematic facts and dates that makes clear their case. I've read and watched a huge amount on it but I've found when it comes to constructing an argument against someone a few months later the significant details slip out my head. Does anyone know a good website that lists all the major details so i can actually commit it to memory? does anyone else have this problem

@creamypouf8 You shouldn't talk about Muslims killing people like that, and their belief in their "old book"...
