Lebanon's confusing civil war

By the mid-1970s, #Lebanon's power vacuum reached its tipping point. Disenfranchised #minorities took up arms and plunged the country into total conflict.

"If you understand Lebanon, someone's done a bad job explaining it to you."

Balkans: "We're brothers but we're killing each other. It's complicated."
Lebanon: "Hold my hummus..."

"When God created Lebanon with the beautiful mountains and sunny beaches, the angels asked why are you so generous to this spot of land? God replied, wait until you see the neighbors I'm going to give them."

I'm Lebanese and I don't understand what the heck happened to my country 30 years ago.

In all this mayhem the ordinary Lebanese citizen gains nothing, he is the victim and no one is held accountable.

Beirut incident: happens

Youtube: you wanna learn the shit Lebanon faced before that tragedy?

[reluginbuhl]

History is often sad. Lebanon is no exception.

The more I try to understand the middle east the less I understand the middle east

Lebanon was one of the beautiful countries I have seen. Met with a few Arab Lebanese. They were good to me. Well mannered and soft spoken.

I’m Lebanese and I started watching this video to see what you get wrong and comment, but you’ve really done a great job. (And I can honestly say, as Lebanese people, we’re also still confused about what really happened).

Doing this in 20 minutes is really impressive.

Lebanon is the Bosnia & Herzegovina equivalent of the Middle East.

Just when you think you have it all figured out, geopolitics throws another curveball.

I feel sorry for the normal citizens trying to live out their lives peacefully

Hello Caspian, as a Lebanese I must say that this is one of the most objective documentaries of the Lebanese civil war I have ever seen. This is a conflict that is still present in the Lebanese mentality and political scenario. Excellent work!

Lived in Lebanon for 11 years, saw the scars of that conflict every day but never understood the jumbled mess of the history. Thank you Sirvan for the clarity and conciseness but it's still hardly any clearer.

As a Lebanese native, I feel it's rewarding to get a western point of view about the Lebanese war, we thought it ended, but looks like all parties are ready for it again. There is a 30 years time lapse since physically no more war, but you can truly make many other documentaries about those 30 years. Good work.

As a Lebanese this is not bad for a 20 minute video. Lots of stuff missing but major timeline is explained pretty good. You should be teaching in a university.

Americans: God, the Syrian civil war is so confusing!
Lebanon: Am I a joke to you?
