There's no officially agreed border.
We have the blue line, which was established by the United Nations.
This was after Israel was forced out in 2000.
And this line is supposed to be the demarcation point that Israel is not supposed to encroach further upon Lebanon.
uh you know further across this line so israel sees a lot of this land as as belonging um yeah there was a 1923 mandate line when it was the british mandate of palestine there was a kind of border uh drawn up then which israel inherited in 1948 but has never really agreed to uh the armistice in 1949
didn't again agree agree those borders so um israel sees fit to push forward um yeah at will and it's done so with total impunity of course um yeah there's no kind of international outcry about the destruction of these uh villages and settlements or the use of chemical weapons uh the use of white phosphorus or the assassination of um of individuals in drone strikes or the killing of paramedics the murder of journalists all of these things have been happening
for many, many years.
The world is maybe paying more attention to it now.
We've had the Western journalists arriving in the country since March the 2nd, of course.
The major news networks have arrived, and they're kind of surprised at what they're seeing.
They're seeing this for the first time.
But this has been going on for a very, very long time.
And I say this is a bit of a failing, I would say, of the
major media organizations because had they been on the ground in Lebanon for the past 15 months they would have seen this unfolding and you know maybe the situation would be very different from what it is now as it as it is they weren't there and the Lebanese journalists were reporting the people that live on that land were you know crying for for help and nobody was listening
MI5 would never clear me to work for the BBC.
No, they wouldn't.
Oh, it's true.
There's no chance, no chance.
I mean, I wouldn't work for the BBC on a personal level.
We've met some BBC journalists here and they've been very pleasant, very nice.
