Can you made a video about apartheid state of Israel as well. How it was created by the British, reason for creation, history of zionism & what happened till today
Can you make a video about the recent Bangladesh coup, the internal instability it had from its very origin, and how a history is getting systematically altered in Bangladesh. Would love to watch this topic covered by you🤞
CEO of 961, Lebanon's leading independent media outlet. Johnny's getting slack for oversimplifying an overly complicated history that Lebanon itself doesn't have an official or collective story for - all in a 13-minute video. Credit where credit is due. While the oversimplification may cause some errors, the general idea is there and things are relatively accurate. I'd say Syrian occupation and abuse is very understated and almost nonexistent. Lots are left out but that's because Johnny's focus is on Hezbollah. My advice would have been to start from the 70s rather than the 40s. Also highlighting how the PLO was a source of pain for the disenfranchised Shias of the South as well as bringing attention to the multi-layered abuse they were dealing with (Palestinian militias, local militias, Israel army, Syrian army, inter-Shia conflict like the 'War of Brothers' between Hezbollah and Amal etc). Most of the comments below seem to be coming from pro-Hezb supporters hoping you'd do some PR work for Hezbollah. But for a 13-minute video, you got the point across in as accurate a way as possible that the vast majority of Lebanese wouldn't have been able to do.
I don't care who you are; being a CEO doesn't give you any credibility. Johnny spread misinformation and manipulated terminology. A video that needs more than 13 minutes to explain needs more than 13 minutes of content. A complex conflict is not an excuse. A conflict that is complex needs more information and longer videos. Pro-Hezbollah or pro-watermelon, misinformation is misinformation. I am no expert, but here are the points to explain why I found this video misleading: 3:57 "Forced" is a strong word because the Lebanese for centuries were cross-religion, cross-sects. Shia presence in Jabal Amel dates back to the 8th century, according to religious figures. 4:58 The fact that they were Sunni had no place in the argument. The Lebanese were upset because of the destruction caused by the militias, and everyone suffered. 5:17 The PLO tried in hopes to make this a state, but they didn't. There's no proof they ruled. 5:28 This map is completely wrong. 5:44 The civil war was not concentrated in South Lebanon. It was [in] Beirut and Mount Lebanon, and it's not the cause of Hezbollah being in power. 6:00 Why would the civil war spill into Syrian territory? How did he reach this conclusion? 6:45 Did they actually withdraw, or did they create the "zone of security"? 6:54 The map is again wrong. There were military operations in administrative Beirut and in all of South Lebanon. Both parts [are] not colored. 7:29 This is not the proper sequence of events. The group went to Iran, not vice versa. Iran had already offered Amal support long before Hezbollah did any operations. 7:53 Really? They should have involved a religious explanation that the loyalty is not specifically to Iran or to the Supreme Leader. This is something called "taqlid," which is a Shia religious requirement to find a reference to answer your religious questions. Many members of Hezbollah chose Khomeini as their proper reference. Many others don't. 8:05 The US, the main military funder of Israel for a decade, leads a peacekeeping mission in a military conflict with Israel? Are allies neutral? 8:26 Marine soldiers who come to a state where they are not welcomed, mainly because they support the state's enemy, are killed. These are not people; they contribute to the threat of sovereignty, and they don't lead to any peace. 9:22 A parallel government? If a senator provides the people that elected him/her with services, does this make him/her a separate entity? Another point: if the government is absent intentionally because of internal conflicts (not enough schools, hospitals, care centers), [and] a group steps in to provide the absent services, this doesn't make them a parallel state, for they didn't rule by power or dictate using a new law; they didn't represent the part of Lebanon as not Lebanese. 9:28 "Areas that it controls"? A better wording is "areas that it has influence..." 9:39 "Defending their Shia heartland"-who in Hezbollah stated this as a motivation? Ignorance... 10:34 "Take more territory"? WTF is that? They are Lebanese and live in Lebanon, and they don't have any territory apart from that. 10:37 This is an extreme oversimplification of the events, ignoring the fact that since the withdrawal, Israel had still kept many Lebanese captives in Israeli prisons. 11:51 ...killing a lot of Lebanese civilians as well, including deliberately attacking journalists reporting on the events. 12:01 They attacked the Iranian embassy. This is, by law, Iranian land; it's not a proxy attack, it's a direct attack. 12:18 This was an attack on all of Lebanon and not [just] Hezbollah. At the time of the event, more than 2,000 Lebanese had been killed, 3,100 houses were destroyed, and 1 million Lebanese were forced out of their houses. Israel wiped out four blocks of buildings with everyone in them (literally, corpses evaporated) in a bloody war crime. 12:20 "Send troops across the border"? Is this what we call invasions now? 12:26 How is any of that going to make Israelis safe? Every house they destroy, every civilian they kill, creates a new child who will not let them sleep 20 years in the future. This deepens the hatred and increases the harm to everyone. 12:28 Why did you decide they are in shambles? Did they stop the responses? Did they get weak? 12:32 Iran's main reason for response is Israel's assassinating Hanieh on Iranian soil in a direct and deliberate breach of Iran's air, land, and sovereignty. 13:10 One foot soldier who for two decades prevented another country's aggression.
As a lebanese christian I’m so disappointed on how this video is misleading first of Syria WAS NEVER an ally for maronite christians it was only backed but one minority christian party “al marada” in fact Syrians destabilized lebanon during the civil war by assassinating the democratically elected president bachir gemayel in 1982 and committing ETHNICAL war crimes their sole goal was to annex lebanon during the civil war . Secondly the civil war ended in 1990 not 1989 during that time the Plo headquarters moved outside the country and were little to non existing why was israel still controlling the border then in 2000s ? Why haven’t you mentioned that israel tried to occupy all the region spreading south to the litani river and launched a ground invasion which led to one of their most humiliating defeats and that specifically strengthened Hezbollah credibility Aslo lets not forget that during 1978 when hezbollah didn’t exist and israel invaded lebanon they committed mass crime murders To end up in want to say as a lebanese citizen that i’m not a fan of hezbollah I condemn their actions in syria they participated in the downfall of the country but in time slike these u cannot be one sided and explain the situation in the way you did it’s insulting for the thousands of lebanese innocent children that have been dying recently
As a guy of Lebanese shiah origin who studied Lebanese history I can say that what you said is factual. The thing with the syrians is that they would supply weapons to all side therefore determining who would win or lose so the Christian's like other groups had to keep them as friends. What led to the syrian assassinating Gemayel ? Was it because they accepted support from Israel? I know he was close to them in the beginning then he became more independent. Despite the Christian phalanges militia committing a massacre againts the palestinians after gemayel death a lot of Christian who joined leftist groups supported the Palestinian cause. Israel expulsion of the Palestinians started the Lebanese civil war and other wars in the region because the palestinians hijacked the Lebanese state with many sympathetic to their cause in the beginning but most Christians just wouldnt have it, and later a lot of others also agreed even hezbollah was anti Palestinian when it was created Amal was the shiah pro Palestinian movement. And despite that small mistake Johny Harris is none biased
I’ve always appreciated your videos and often relied on them to gain a better understanding of global events. However, as a Lebanese with deep insight into this particular situation, I found your video to be somewhat misleading. It skips over key events and seems to take sides at certain points. I’d be willing to provide a detailed breakdown, pinpointing specific timestamps where the content could be more accurate, but I’m hesitant to invest the effort if it’s just going to be overlooked. If you're truly committed to presenting objective and truthful information, I’d be happy to share my perspective, provided you’re open to considering it and digging deeper into the facts. Thank you.
If I were you, I'd steer clear of the bite-sized, incomplete, consumerist approach and actually dig deep into the matter at hand. Longer, deeper, well-researched topics > shorter, shallower, quickly researched ones just for the sake of producing a video.
A 13-minute video covering an 80-year conflict between half a dozen native nations and 3-5 giant superpowers, with thousands of casualties, does seem insufficient in scope.
It unfortunately just isn't as easy as you imagine it to be. Most people on RUclips tend to watch videos in the sweet spot of 10-15 minutes, much longer and you'll lose views. But he needs views because he relies on ad revenue to pay his team. And you also need to have somewhat regular uploads for RUclips to recommend your channel. You can't really do a 45 minute deep dive video every 6 weeks because they're expensive, but they don't make nearly as much ad revenue as 3x 15 minutes videos.
@@Blex_040 But you have to understand that there are other geo-political topics that can be described in 13 minutes but the middle East is not such kind of topic. People who are interested in geopolitics are a niche community, even if he makes 45 minutes videos there are people like us who will definitely watch it until the end, that's what made him popular. But if he tries to run for ad revenue and profit only, he will end up like Boeing.
ِAs a Palestinian who knows a bit about the situation I can confidently say this video is gravely misleading though it contains many factual historical events it does not make the right connections and paints a very partial and misleading picture of the situation ,,, not saying it was done with malice intent but this is how I see it . with understanding the complexity of the situation that cannot be detailed in 15 min
Yeah 10 minutes is way to less time to dig in deep. But I am pretty sure, Johnny got more different sources (and checked them) together in those 10 minutes than we had in the last 10 years.
5:10 That’s a lenient phrasing at best. The PLO didn’t simply ‘move’ to Lebanon; it was expelled from Jordan during the events of ‘Black September’ because the organization attempted a coup against the king, as it also considered Jordan part of the future state of Palestine.
@@Uchqunbekuz Nice nonsense. They could have agreed to the 1947 UN Partition Plan instead of starting a war, not to mention that in Jordan, Palestinians make up an absolute majority of the population, have full citizenship, and equal rights.

And Palestinians rejected the proposed plan and launched a self described genoc1dal war against all Jews in the levant. So no, since they rejected it there was never a border to begin with.

Hey Johnny, great video, but some key points were left out. The 1982 Israeli invasion caused immense destruction across Lebanon, uniting Shia, Sunni, and Christians in opposition to the devastation ( despite, as you mention their civil war among all 3 factions in the 1970’s as you did mention) The siege of Beirut was so severe that President Reagan had to intervene, urging Israel to stop after receiving disturbing images of the bombings. Your Chapter 2 or 3 does not mention the sheer severity of indiscriminate bombing that united and created Hezbollah - ( no mention Israel by name when the video makes this point and opted to say Hezbollah was created to kick out foreigners or foreign intervention ) Also, while you mentioned Syria’s presence, Israel’s occupation specifically lasting “18 years “ of southern Lebanon was crucial in shaping Hezbollah’s role as a resistance movement (Chapter 3, 8:48) It’s also worth noting that Egypt and Jordan-two of the closest Sunni countries-receive $1.3 billion and $1.5 billion annually from the U.S., alongside Israel’s $3 billion minimum. This financial support may explain why only Shia groups like Hezbollah and the Houthis (Zaydi Shia) are actively supporting Gazan Palestinians, despite their own strategic interests . These dynamics are essential for understanding the broader regional picture and Hezbollah’s role in it. * you just did a video on Egypt bribing a U.S. representative”
"1982 Israeli invasion caused immense destruction across Lebanon, uniting Shia, Sunni, and Christians" tell me you know nothing about our civil war without telling me you know nothing about our civil war
8:18 Why didn't you state the fact that these "people" were 241 US Marines & 52 French soldiers and that the attack was in response to the US naval bombardments of southern Lebanon in support of Israel operations.
Bro forgot to mention thousand of people died by brutal israeli occupation but he perfectly remember to mention Beirut bombing which killed 241 US solders. Nice try
@@wizzyone6789 No, Hezbollah has no legitimacy to engage in war. It's weapons are illegal as per Lebanese laws. It has no right to wage war internally or externally. Those soldiers were allowed by the Lebanese government - it's not an occupational force.
He literally states that its extremely complicated, its clear that he is just summarising specifically the group itself, if viewers didn't pick that up then thats on then. You can argue the EXACT same thing for every single politically complex topic, but then no one would make the videos.
This is a good video, but there is missing context at 5:04. The title is misleading when you said the PLO "moved" in 1971. The PLO were kicked out of Jordan because they attempted to overthrow the monarchy called Black September. The PLO was not always a peaceful organization. Please be more careful when reporting on historically sensitive events.
the plo wanted to liberate Palestine and jordan wanted to make peace with israel, that is why the Jordanian traitors kicked them out. People seem to forget that all Palestinian refugees from 1948 were stateless and without any rights in the neighbouring countries they fled to, what do you expect them to do ?
Johnny, when I subbed to you, I liked your channel because you seemed to make fair and authentic videos, but I have noticed all of this has changed. I don't know if the FBI is paying you a crazy amount to switch up like this, but you sound very biased and packing up Israel and Ukraine whenever you get the chance. I'm very disappointed in you, mate, you're very misleading I thought I was the only one but I looked at the comments and a lot of people agree. What a shame unsubed.
The objective truth is the objective truth. Ukraine is defending itself from Russian erasure since the time of the Czars. Israel is defending itself from supremacist Pan-Arabic /Muslim erasure since 1948 (and from the wider world: Roman empire, Babylonian empire, etc, since 3000 years ago.) You can live within your biases (which seems to be a favorite for a lot of humans in this current world) but you can't re-write history
I have lost so many family members in a little village in Lebanon, literally in the middle of nowhere. They live off the land and everyone lived a simple life. Then bombs started dropping left and right and now everyone has left the beautiful mountainside my Father and generations before him used to call home. People on BOTH SIDES need to stop killing each other, this has gone way too far.
I agree with you 100 percent. Seems people in that region just won't let go of the past. We need to force Israel to give Palestinians a solution to have land where they can live peacefully. We need to force Hamas and Hezbollah to stop fighting, the land in that region will never go back to how it was until muslims realize Israel is not going anywere and Jews/Muslims need to find a way to stop hating each other over religion or things will always remain the same.
Being a Muslim near isreal is basically death. That's why all I can tell suffering citizens is that what the idf is doing is all part of war and the best thing they can do is get rid of all connections that the idf may not like or run if you can . Things like religion and heritage mean nothing when it comes down to life or death
What do you mean “how it was?”. That region is a bed of strife since time immemorial. The only times it was relatively peaceful was when annexed by a foreign empire.
@@blackdubz Israel just wants more land. And they'll use this situation to get it. Being the opportunists that they are. You really need to look into the zionist project to get the full picture. Muslims fighting jews seems to be what it's all about....until you inform yourself of the bigger picture.
If I were you, I'd steer clear of the bite-sized, incomplete, consumerist approach and actually dig deep into the matter at hand. Longer, deeper, well-researched topics > shorter, shallower, quickly researched ones just for the sake of producing a video.👍🏻
Why leave the fact of mass Jewish immigration while British were there? 4:30 (PLO did not attack; it was attempt to take back their country.) Why leave the fact about Israel bombing the consulate? 11:50 (Iran didnt attack; it was retaliation.) Why leave the fact that they killed a guest on Iranian soil? 12:28 (Iran didnt attack; it was retaliation)
But weren't all those attacks that these things were retaliations for, themselves also retaliations for previous attack, which were actually also all retaliations? Like, I'm not disagreeing with you here. I'm just _asking_ whether the line you draw here, couldn't just as easily be drawn at many many many other points in time. Cuz it _appears_ to me that there's not really one start in this entire mess - but if there was a time where different peoples _did_ coexist peacefully in the Middle East, I'd love to get corrected :)
Lean facts or rich facts. An attempt to take back the country may involve attacks. Retaliation may involve attacks. During conflicts, people will always bemoan storytellers for not agreeing to their interpretation. Where these cases of mistelling the story, or did he not add enough explanation as to what they story is supposed to mean, and which side it is supposed to put us on. Because maybe we just can't expect that last bit from informers.
Franky the worst representation ive seen of the war: Iran did not strike because of their immense loyalty to the militia, it struck after provocation by Israel leading to assassinations out within iranian territory and making its leaders look like it wouldnt ever defend itself This is so far from the truth and it doesn't even begin to speak about how the French, like many clonial powers left Lebanon with a destitute political system designed to fail incase they ever had the chance to occupy again I have no loyalty or agreement with Iran but this genuinely is misleading at best and a practically fictional narrative that has allowed the 100s of thousands of civilians to die at the hands of Israel
You know you loose credibility when you're defending a country that actually killed 100s of thousands of Arab civs in Syria and Yemen in the last decade, and go against a country that in all of it's wars history combined didn't reach 150,000 causalities?
Yh i agree he didnt mentioned how Iran was forced to react because of assassination within Iranian territory. Its like hes trying to make one side look good
You have to remeber that Iran coordinates its prozies like hamas and hezbolah in the region. That why both the US and Israel targeted Iranian general who coordinate their proxi
If attacks are coming from that country and the local government doesn't take care of the situation, you who is receiving those attacks, will go and take care of it yourself. This is simple logic. No if's and but's.
Was a little bit surprised that you omitted key information on WHY Iran decided to launch missiles to Israel. Your video did not discuss how Israel attacked an Iranian consulate FIRST and this was Iran's retaliation. Your video just says Iran launched missiles into Israel. If you call yourself a journalist then you should know better to tell half a story. Disappointing 'journalism' on your part!
They attacked a consulate next to the main embassy. And attacking embassies is not foreign to Hezbollah and Iran (1992 Buenos Aires embassy bombing, 1994 London Israeli embassy bombing).
It was not an official embassy.. more like a terror lure .... what about Iran sponsoring terror across all middle east, funding listed terrorists, invading Lebanon and ethnically cleansing it from jews and Christians? also being the biggest drug cartel flooding the whole area with drug operation using Hizballah .. did you forget all that as well?!
I think you missed or choose to missed one important point John. Without Israel occupation, there will be no Palestinian struggle. Without Palestinian struggle, there will be no needs of PLO and existence of milita groups like Hezbollah that fights against the occupier (Israel). Without Palestinian cause, Hezbollah will exist as just another group entangled in lebanon internal conflict. There is also no mentioned of Phalangist and Gemayel, SabraShatila tragedy and the attempt to establish a seperate South Lebanon state as you already stated PLO in your video. Or maybe a 14 minutes video is not enough to give a full explanation of event that lead to the emergence of Hezbollah, thus forcing you to pick and choose facts to be included in the vid.
Israel bombed Iran’s embassy in Syria. Iran wasn’t responding to “attacks on its proxies”, but to a direct attack on their diplomatic site, technically Iranian sovereign territory, as all embassies are regarded. 11:56
No, it started earlier, Hebron massacre 1929, when arabs murdered jews just because they were... well, jews. ...Actually it started waaaay earlier, blame the Babylonian Empire (modern day Iraq) and the Roman empire (modern day Italy) when they invaded Judea and brought Jews from their cradle in the Levant deep into the Middle East and Europe. They have been trying to get back home ever since. When they finally managed to slowly get back home they found it squatted by a whole bunch of people calling themselves "Palestinian"...
I am actually surprised that you referred to the Beirut Lebanon attack as an event that killed more than 300 people. The reporting would be a little more transparent if you had mentioned that there were 241 US military personnel that were killed in that attack. Some of your viewers may not appreciate that particular fact.
I am not the best person to report on this as it was before my time, but I remember hearing stories, about that time the US sent troops to interfere with Lebanon, and their troops being attacked. Might not be the same though
bro it was a foreign military in lebanon. AND NOT ANY MILITARY we're talking about the best army forces on earth that also SUPPORT YOUR ENEMY literaly in your backyard what do you do? leave them? hell no it wasnt a terrorist attack.. it was such a successful military plan
It was actually Imad Mughniyeh leading a proto Hezbollah called Islamic Jihad of Lebanon. He was a real monster, give him a Google. Among many monstrous things, he also managed to kidnap Lebanese Christians and foreigners (keeping some for years; drugged and literally frozen), assassinate Harriri (among tons of other bombings), and he even personally murdered Steve Kerr’s father (the coach of the Golden State Warriors, and Chicago Bulls guard; his father was the dean of the American University)
Indeed, the US labeled hezbollah as a terrorist organization after the US sent troop to lebanon and more than 200 of them were killed in the explosion. The attack was not directly done by hezbollah, but Imad Moughnieh who was later discovered to be the military wing leader of hizbollah and who at the time of the attack (1982 before officially hezbollah creation) was training with palestenian resistance groups, orchestrated a huge part of it. Till today hezbollah is on the US black list becauae they refused the american presence in their country as a military group because they fight for the sovrenty of Lebanon (although they were involved in events outside this bracket) and in general the US domination of the region
Strange that UN Security Council Resolution 1701 wasn't mentioned at all i.e. that, after 2006, Hezbollah is supposed to be north of the Litani River so that it couldn't fire rockets or attack Israel from southern Lebanon.
Right, or that Israel waited through 11 months of rocket launches, asking for a ceasefire for way longer than we would’ve waited, before their “massive escalation”. Iran and Hezbollah were trying to “boil the frog”, and Israel decided not to die. More complicated than that too, but an important missing premise to the “escalation”. I’m not really seeing intentional bias, but this is why people who are not experts on this topic should really not try to create content on it.
Johnny is very left leaning, anti western and anti colonialist countries. He pretends to be unbiased but when he did not talk about the UN security resolution 1701 at all, I knew this video was clearly created to appease Hamas and Hezbollah supporters.
Very dissapointed at such misleading information. It's safe to say anyone with a fraction of knowledge about middle east will never trust your videos ever again
Johnny shame on you once again i don't understand what happened to you? are you being biased on purpose and leaving out details to benefits Israel and the Us? or are you just being lazy and not doing research and just getting your information from an American site?? which doesn't make any sense. what happened to you mate? this is fucked up.
Usually your videos are well researched, but as you can see in these comments you missed the mark on this one. Israel did not invade Lebanon as a result of PLO attacks. It invaded Lebanon because of the assassination of Schlomo Argov, which Israel’s far-right prime minister Menachem Begin blamed on the PLO. The PLO did not commit the assassination, it was done by the Abu Nidal Organization (a rival of the PLO’s).
Zoom out. They have been objectively the victim of the Muslim world from Morocco to Iran since before 1948, (1.2 Billion Muslims vs. 9 Million Jews) but they haven't acted like it, on the contrary, they have won every battle.
I used to like Johnny for his objective analysis regarding almost all the topics before. However, he is getting more and more biased. I think either them or money got to him
bad one, the Iranian attacks Israel because of bombardment of their embassy in Syria killing their officials which is a violation to the international law. Johnny you were doing well except this war you took a weird pose
Why'd you fail to mention all of the Israeli actions which caused all of the responses by Iran and Hezbollah? Iran attacked in April because Israel, for no reason at all, bombed their consulate in Syria. Also a complete disregard for the 2006 war which was started by Israel invading south Lebanon.
What even happened in those years that is important enough to be part of this story set in the 20th and 21st century, about a specific militia group. I am sorry if I sound ignorant. I am ignorant. That is why this doesn't make any sense to me.
Damn.. i used to love and trust your content, you're talking about this as if it's just a bunch of events that happened randomly. Anyone who knows the situation knows that you're distorting the narrative Please just avoid the whole middle east topic, this is missing so muuuuch context It's crazy
Ironic, given the shallow knowledge and depth of this and the sponsorship of a news aggregator that is quite literally killing independent journalism. You're slipping, pal.
You missed the fact that it was the Maronite Patriarch who asked the French to expand Lebanon to its current extent. He feared a repeat of the famine which claimed between a third to half of the Mutassarifate's population.
The Hezbollah/Syria part left out that Hezbollah (and other Iranian alied militias from Iraq) were a major part of the boots on the ground forces against ISIS.
Johnny, you have to keep your language consistent. You can’t say ‘’Israel sent its army in Lebanon’’. Say it as it is. A military invasion into a sovereign country. Southern Lebanon is the 4th chunk of land Israel is invading after West Bank, Gaza and the Golan Heights.
Johnny, you're doing great. I don't know if you'll read this, but I genuinely believe you're working hard on being as objective as you can, and that's all that counts for me. I love your content. Don't let the haters drag you down.
Johnny, I’m beyond disappointed. I used to consider you one of the most trustworthy and unbiased journalists, but this video completely destroyed that belief. You ignored the thousands of Lebanese and Palestinians killed by Israeli occupation, left out key details about the bombings before Hezbollah even existed, and conveniently skipped over Israel’s provocations that led to Iran’s retaliation. Your selective storytelling is shocking, and I can’t support such biased content anymore. I’m unsubscribing from your channel because you ignored the historical facts, if someone argues Jhonny may not know about all these, than unsubscribing because you are too shallow generalist to understand the matter.
Your name denounces you. You will never be objective about this. You cannot stand the fact that there's a tiny piece of land between Morocco and Iran where the authority is non-Muslim. Pan Arabic/Muslim supremacy at it's finest. Previous Iranian government was an Israel ally, Ayatollah regime is the one who started hostilities, they are the ones who provoked and they will end up humiliated in the end. That pager thing is one for the books.
@@cpnete6048 My criticism is not based on religion or identity but on the facts that were omitted or distorted in the video. The suffering of thousands of Lebanese and Palestinians at the hands of Israeli occupation is a historical reality, not an opinion shaped by bias. Israel’s provocations, such as assassinations on Iranian soil and attacks on Lebanon before Hezbollah even existed, are well-documented. Critiquing selective storytelling isn’t about supporting one side-it’s about acknowledging the full scope of the conflict. Peace requires understanding the facts from all perspectives, not just one narrative.
Having so many missiles is not the reason Israel attacked Hezbollah, it is the fact that they've been using it against Israel without direct provocation....
You forgot to say WHY Israel kept invading the south of Lebanon Johnny. Was it because the south of Lebanon and Hesbolah were attacking Israel in the first place?
Wait please tell me what you mean. What is the propaganda. I’m very open to feedback so please point out specific critiques so I can take it into account. Thanks!
@@johnnyharris There's a lot of quite important things the video didn't include, which may propel people on either side to believe so. As a long time viewer, it never felt to me you were actively biased, but its true you sometimes skip such important evens it looks a bit suspicious. Here for example, skipping the 2006 war, that ended with an prophylactic agreements to avoid another war, that Hezbollah ignored almost immediately, might make you seem biased to some pro-Israelis, and perhaps not emphasizing how much people liked Nasrallah over the years or certain actions of his, may upset his supporters. For the short length of the video its good, and of course your editing and narration are top notch. Maybe this topic and its adjacent ones deserve a few videos if you want to keep each video short and sweet.
@@johnnyharrisI think these conflicts need longer and more in depth videos Johnny. Some details get skipped inadvertently because of the length. So some of important connections do go missing as a result
You haven’t mentioned the important thing: there were UN militaries between Israel and Lebanon to prevent Hezbollah from going to the Southern Lebanon. They are most famous for doing nothing and cigarettes smuggling, and they let hezbollah go anywhere the next day after the UN resolution
Also don’t overplay it. Hezbollahs supporter demographics is still across the religious spectrum. There are a lot of Hezbollah supporters that hate their religious ideology and involvement in Syria, but believe they are absolutely necessary to prevent Southern Lebanon from turning into a Jewish settler state or in the civil war a terrorist Christian militia willing to kill all Muslims. Doesn’t matter who stops the IDF, they are the biggest threat to Lebanon. That is the view of many Lebanese people.
@@SerenePaletteStudios sure, not to the same extent, but it’s true. Israel is far more secular and liberal than Hezbollah, but the religious right have more power there than ever before, and that should indeed be called out and addressed. There is too much religion in this conflict overall.
@@tortoisewarrior4855 Are you Lebanese? If so, I assume you know, but otherwise, did you realize Hezbollah has killed more Lebanese and Syrian people than Israelis? So yes, many Lebanese who are not religious extremists support Hezbollah or at least side with them over Israel, but that doesn’t change anything in my original premise.

Johnny this one was not it, tons of missing details regarding Lebanese, Palestinian, Israeli, Syrian and Hezbollah ambitions, inaccurate dates, the Lebanese civil and current wars cannot be glossed over because they are even more complicated than what they already seem like. Also a very evident western bias.
I appreciate the attempt, and have studied the Lebanese history deeply and willing to share information, sources, and try to give as many local, regional and international POVs as possible.
4:50 - it’s simply wrong. Palestine was never conquered because it was never established as a state - the Palestinians rejected the UN Partition Plan and started a war against Israel. What actually happened is that Jordan controlled the area, called it the “West Bank,” and then it was taken over by Israel in 1967.
Plenty of modern nations didn’t start as formal "states" until recently, yet no one questions their legitimacy today. For example: Germany - Not a unified state until 1871. Italy - Only unified in 1861. India - Became a modern nation-state in 1947, yet it existed for millennia as a region with various empires. United States - Before 1776, it was a group of British colonies. Saudi Arabia - Established in 1932, previously a region under tribal rule. So claiming that Palestine isn’t "real" because it wasn’t a modern state is historically ignorant-most nations we recognize today didn’t start as states! RE: the "West Bank" and Jordan; Israel's occupation of the West Bank after 1967 remains illegal under international law. It should not be considered part of Israel proper.
You don’t have to be a ‘state’ to be conquered. By your logic ( only existing if they’re a state) then Israel didn’t exist until 1948, and historic Israel is a bunch of crock.
@@NagaiColor Google doesn’t make you intelligent, especially when copy and paste is your only tool, Germany was almany, Palestine was called the kingdom of Israel or Judah, try reading a book mate
Palestine itself was not a state yet it was part of an empire . It was not some no mans land it was the opposite it had been at the center of many empires an inhabited by people for 1000s of years stop trying to make Palestine as a lawless dessert it was not . I like how people like you disregard the whole fact that it was part of am empire your like ''yeh the Brits owned it ( they annexed / invaded it dont sugarcote it ) and they can do with it whatever they want '' . Then we should accept what Russia is doing with Crimea and the East of Ukraine and we need to accept what China is going to do to Taiwan aswell or when Turkey gone kick out the US backed terrorists at its border . But i bet you and the whole western world gonna start crying rivers then . Hypocrits are a bigger danger to this world then Hamas or any other terrorist organization in my opinion .
Weird to talk about the displaced Palestinians moving away from Israel without also mentioning the displaced Jewish people moving in from across the middle east
So why did he cut out the reason tensions have escalated into another invasion of Lebanon? what is happening in Gaza is genocide and is a crucial piece to this puzzle.
Don’t panic. Usually account managers send out different titles to optimise the click through. They just try to figure out how to get as many clicks per exposure as they can. It’s the name of the game.
11:52 "Isreali strikes on Iranian proxies and military officials" what you mean to say is Israel strike on an Iran embassy in Syria. Which is considered Iranian sovereignty which also breaks international law. So yeah Iran didn't hit Israel to save hezbollah but because Isreal hit Iran first

CEO of 961, Lebanon's leading independent media outlet. Johnny's getting slack for oversimplifying an overly complicated history that Lebanon itself doesn't have an official or collective story for - all in a 13-minute video. Credit where credit is due. While the oversimplification may cause some errors, the general idea is there and things are relatively accurate. I'd say Syrian occupation and abuse is very understated and almost nonexistent. Lots are left out but that's because Johnny's focus is on Hezbollah.
My advice would have been to start from the 70s rather than the 40s. Also highlighting how the PLO was a source of pain for the disenfranchised Shias of the South as well as bringing attention to the multi-layered abuse they were dealing with (Palestinian militias, local militias, Israel army, Syrian army, inter-Shia conflict like the 'War of Brothers' between Hezbollah and Amal etc).
Most of the comments below seem to be coming from pro-Hezb supporters hoping you'd do some PR work for Hezbollah. But for a 13-minute video, you got the point across in as accurate a way as possible that the vast majority of Lebanese wouldn't have been able to do.
You are denieying reality by calling it pro Hezbollah
His focus is on pro-US viewpoints.
❤
Oversimplifying would be a massive understatement.
I don't care who you are; being a CEO doesn't give you any credibility. Johnny spread misinformation and manipulated terminology. A video that needs more than 13 minutes to explain needs more than 13 minutes of content. A complex conflict is not an excuse. A conflict that is complex needs more information and longer videos.
Pro-Hezbollah or pro-watermelon, misinformation is misinformation.
I am no expert, but here are the points to explain why I found this video misleading:
3:57 "Forced" is a strong word because the Lebanese for centuries were cross-religion, cross-sects. Shia presence in Jabal Amel dates back to the 8th century, according to religious figures.
4:58 The fact that they were Sunni had no place in the argument. The Lebanese were upset because of the destruction caused by the militias, and everyone suffered.
5:17 The PLO tried in hopes to make this a state, but they didn't. There's no proof they ruled.
5:28 This map is completely wrong.
5:44 The civil war was not concentrated in South Lebanon. It was [in] Beirut and Mount Lebanon, and it's not the cause of Hezbollah being in power.
6:00 Why would the civil war spill into Syrian territory? How did he reach this conclusion?
6:45 Did they actually withdraw, or did they create the "zone of security"?
6:54 The map is again wrong. There were military operations in administrative Beirut and in all of South Lebanon. Both parts [are] not colored.
7:29 This is not the proper sequence of events. The group went to Iran, not vice versa. Iran had already offered Amal support long before Hezbollah did any operations.
7:53 Really? They should have involved a religious explanation that the loyalty is not specifically to Iran or to the Supreme Leader. This is something called "taqlid," which is a Shia religious requirement to find a reference to answer your religious questions. Many members of Hezbollah chose Khomeini as their proper reference. Many others don't.
8:05 The US, the main military funder of Israel for a decade, leads a peacekeeping mission in a military conflict with Israel? Are allies neutral?
8:26 Marine soldiers who come to a state where they are not welcomed, mainly because they support the state's enemy, are killed. These are not people; they contribute to the threat of sovereignty, and they don't lead to any peace.
9:22 A parallel government? If a senator provides the people that elected him/her with services, does this make him/her a separate entity? Another point: if the government is absent intentionally because of internal conflicts (not enough schools, hospitals, care centers), [and] a group steps in to provide the absent services, this doesn't make them a parallel state, for they didn't rule by power or dictate using a new law; they didn't represent the part of Lebanon as not Lebanese.
9:28 "Areas that it controls"? A better wording is "areas that it has influence..."
9:39 "Defending their Shia heartland"-who in Hezbollah stated this as a motivation? Ignorance...
10:34 "Take more territory"? WTF is that? They are Lebanese and live in Lebanon, and they don't have any territory apart from that.
10:37 This is an extreme oversimplification of the events, ignoring the fact that since the withdrawal, Israel had still kept many Lebanese captives in Israeli prisons.
11:51 ...killing a lot of Lebanese civilians as well, including deliberately attacking journalists reporting on the events.
12:01 They attacked the Iranian embassy. This is, by law, Iranian land; it's not a proxy attack, it's a direct attack.
12:18 This was an attack on all of Lebanon and not [just] Hezbollah. At the time of the event, more than 2,000 Lebanese had been killed, 3,100 houses were destroyed, and 1 million Lebanese were forced out of their houses. Israel wiped out four blocks of buildings with everyone in them (literally, corpses evaporated) in a bloody war crime.
12:20 "Send troops across the border"? Is this what we call invasions now?
12:26 How is any of that going to make Israelis safe? Every house they destroy, every civilian they kill, creates a new child who will not let them sleep 20 years in the future. This deepens the hatred and increases the harm to everyone.
12:28 Why did you decide they are in shambles? Did they stop the responses? Did they get weak?
12:32 Iran's main reason for response is Israel's assassinating Hanieh on Iranian soil in a direct and deliberate breach of Iran's air, land, and sovereignty.
13:10 One foot soldier who for two decades prevented another country's aggression.
As a lebanese christian I’m so disappointed on how this video is misleading first of Syria WAS NEVER an ally for maronite christians it was only backed but one minority christian party “al marada” in fact Syrians destabilized lebanon during the civil war by assassinating the democratically elected president bachir gemayel in 1982 and committing ETHNICAL war crimes their sole goal was to annex lebanon during the civil war . Secondly the civil war ended in 1990 not 1989 during that time the Plo headquarters moved outside the country and were little to non existing why was israel still controlling the border then in 2000s ? Why haven’t you mentioned that israel tried to occupy all the region spreading south to the litani river and launched a ground invasion which led to one of their most humiliating defeats and that specifically strengthened Hezbollah credibility
Aslo lets not forget that during 1978 when hezbollah didn’t exist and israel invaded lebanon they committed mass crime murders
To end up in want to say as a lebanese citizen that i’m not a fan of hezbollah I condemn their actions in syria they participated in the downfall of the country but in time slike these u cannot be one sided and explain the situation in the way you did it’s insulting for the thousands of lebanese innocent children that have been dying recently
I agree, Johnny does seem biased
Spot on, Harris is two steps away from being a full blown zionist.
As someone who is pretty familiar with the matter, I fully approve what you said.
As a guy of Lebanese shiah origin who studied Lebanese history I can say that what you said is factual. The thing with the syrians is that they would supply weapons to all side therefore determining who would win or lose so the Christian's like other groups had to keep them as friends.
What led to the syrian assassinating Gemayel ? Was it because they accepted support from Israel? I know he was close to them in the beginning then he became more independent.
Despite the Christian phalanges militia committing a massacre againts the palestinians after gemayel death a lot of Christian who joined leftist groups supported the Palestinian cause.
Israel expulsion of the Palestinians started the Lebanese civil war and other wars in the region because the palestinians hijacked the Lebanese state with many sympathetic to their cause in the beginning but most Christians just wouldnt have it, and later a lot of others also agreed even hezbollah was anti Palestinian when it was created Amal was the shiah pro Palestinian movement.
And despite that small mistake Johny Harris is none biased
As an ancient Norwegian viking I can say you speak the truth.
I’ve always appreciated your videos and often relied on them to gain a better understanding of global events. However, as a Lebanese with deep insight into this particular situation, I found your video to be somewhat misleading. It skips over key events and seems to take sides at certain points.

Hey Johnny, great video, but some key points were left out. The 1982 Israeli invasion caused immense destruction across Lebanon, uniting Shia, Sunni, and Christians in opposition to the devastation ( despite, as you mention their civil war among all 3 factions in the 1970’s as you did mention) The siege of Beirut was so severe that President Reagan had to intervene, urging Israel to stop after receiving disturbing images of the bombings. Your Chapter 2 or 3 does not mention the sheer severity of indiscriminate bombing that united and created Hezbollah - ( no mention Israel by name when the video makes this point and opted to say Hezbollah was created to kick out foreigners or foreign intervention ) Also, while you mentioned Syria’s presence, Israel’s occupation specifically lasting “18 years “ of southern Lebanon was crucial in shaping Hezbollah’s role as a resistance movement (Chapter 3, 8:48)
It’s also worth noting that Egypt and Jordan-two of the closest Sunni countries-receive $1.3 billion and $1.5 billion annually from the U.S., alongside Israel’s $3 billion minimum. This financial support may explain why only Shia groups like Hezbollah and the Houthis (Zaydi Shia) are actively supporting Gazan Palestinians, despite their own strategic interests . These dynamics are essential for understanding the broader regional picture and Hezbollah’s role in it.
* you just did a video on Egypt bribing a U.S. representative”

He never talked about any war crimes or atrocities by Israel, like they did nothing wrong, not ever.

This is a good video, but there is missing context at 5:04. The title is misleading when you said the PLO "moved" in 1971.

Franky the worst representation ive seen of the war:
Iran did not strike because of their immense loyalty to the militia, it struck after provocation by Israel leading to assassinations out within iranian territory and making its leaders look like it wouldnt ever defend itself
This is so far from the truth and it doesn't even begin to speak about how the French, like many clonial powers left Lebanon with a destitute political system designed to fail incase they ever had the chance to occupy again
I have no loyalty or agreement with Iran but this genuinely is misleading at best and a practically fictional narrative that has allowed the 100s of thousands of civilians to die at the hands of Israel
You know you loose credibility when you're defending a country that actually killed 100s of thousands of Arab civs in Syria and Yemen in the last decade, and go against a country that in all of it's wars history combined didn't reach 150,000 causalities?
Yh i agree he didnt mentioned how Iran was forced to react because of assassination within Iranian territory. Its like hes trying to make one side look good
You have to remeber that Iran coordinates its prozies like hamas and hezbolah in the region. That why both the US and Israel targeted Iranian general who coordinate their proxi
“I have no bias” also you: *blames Israel* bffr lmao and take the L. Hezbollah is a proxy terrorist group of Iran and started it
Also worth mentioning that the assassination in Iran was of Ismail Haniyeh, which was the leader of Hamas from 2007 to 2014.
invading a country without their permission just to "stabilize the region" is crazy
If attacks are coming from that country and the local government doesn't take care of the situation, you who is receiving those attacks, will go and take care of it yourself. This is simple logic. No if's and but's.
Was a little bit surprised that you omitted key information on WHY Iran decided to launch missiles to Israel.
Your video did not discuss how Israel attacked an Iranian consulate FIRST and this was Iran's retaliation.
Your video just says Iran launched missiles into Israel.
If you call yourself a journalist then you should know better to tell half a story.
Disappointing 'journalism' on your part!
They attacked a consulate next to the main embassy. And attacking embassies is not foreign to Hezbollah and Iran (1992 Buenos Aires embassy bombing, 1994 London Israeli embassy bombing).
It was not an official embassy.. more like a terror lure ....
what about Iran sponsoring terror across all middle east, funding listed terrorists, invading Lebanon and ethnically cleansing it from jews and Christians?

Israel bombed Iran’s embassy in Syria. Iran wasn’t responding to “attacks on its proxies”, but to a direct attack on their diplomatic site, technically Iranian sovereign territory, as all embassies are regarded. 11:56
The puppet of Israel calling Hezbollah the puppet of Iran......Nice
when its America's pawn (Israel) then its okay, but if its Iran's pawn, everyone goes crazy. It all started back in 1948.
It started before 1948. Arabs were massacring Jews by the dozens for years before they asked for a state
History is written by the winners that's how war works. Do hear of the war crimes commited by the British or America in ww2? Didn't think so
No, it started earlier, Hebron massacre 1929, when arabs murdered jews just because they were... well, jews.
...Actually it started waaaay earlier, blame the Babylonian Empire (modern day Iraq) and the Roman empire (modern day Italy) when they invaded Judea and brought Jews from their cradle in the Levant deep into the Middle East and Europe. They have been trying to get back home ever since.
When they finally managed to slowly get back home they found it squatted by a whole bunch of people calling themselves "Palestinian"...
I am actually surprised that you referred to the Beirut Lebanon attack as an event that killed more than 300 people. The reporting would be a little more transparent if you had mentioned that there were 241 US military personnel that were killed in that attack. Some of your viewers may not appreciate that particular fact.
I am not the best person to report on this as it was before my time, but I remember hearing stories, about that time the US sent troops to interfere with Lebanon, and their troops being attacked. Might not be the same though
it was hezbolah, they were in the middle of it
bro it was a foreign military in lebanon. AND NOT ANY MILITARY we're talking about the best army forces on earth that also SUPPORT YOUR ENEMY literaly in your backyard what do you do? leave them? hell no it wasnt a terrorist attack.. it was such a successful military plan
It was actually Imad Mughniyeh leading a proto Hezbollah called Islamic Jihad of Lebanon. He was a real monster, give him a Google. Among many monstrous things, he also managed to kidnap Lebanese Christians and foreigners (keeping some for years; drugged and literally frozen), assassinate Harriri (among tons of other bombings), and he even personally murdered Steve Kerr’s father (the coach of the Golden State Warriors, and Chicago Bulls guard; his father was the dean of the American University)
Indeed, the US labeled hezbollah as a terrorist organization after the US sent troop to lebanon and more than 200 of them were killed in the explosion.
The attack was not directly done by hezbollah, but Imad Moughnieh who was later discovered to be the military wing leader of hizbollah and who at the time of the attack (1982 before officially hezbollah creation) was training with palestenian resistance groups, orchestrated a huge part of it.
Till today hezbollah is on the US black list becauae they refused the american presence in their country as a military group because they fight for the sovrenty of Lebanon (although they were involved in events outside this bracket) and in general the US domination of the region
Strange that UN Security Council Resolution 1701 wasn't mentioned at all i.e. that, after 2006, Hezbollah is supposed to be north of the Litani River so that it couldn't fire rockets or attack Israel from southern Lebanon.
Right, or that Israel waited through 11 months of rocket launches, asking for a ceasefire for way longer than we would’ve waited, before their “massive escalation”.
Iran and Hezbollah were trying to “boil the frog”, and Israel decided not to die. More complicated than that too, but an important missing premise to the “escalation”.
I’m not really seeing intentional bias, but this is why people who are not experts on this topic should really not try to create content on it.
Johnny is very left leaning, anti western and anti colonialist countries. He pretends to be unbiased but when he did not talk about the UN security resolution 1701 at all, I knew this video was clearly created to appease Hamas and Hezbollah supporters.
@@yaosteen Iran couldn’t boil a potatoe

Johnny shame on you once again i don't understand what happened to you? are you being biased on purpose and leaving out details to benefits Israel and the Us? or are you just being lazy and not doing research and just getting your information from an American site?? which doesn't make any sense. what happened to you mate? this is fucked up.
he is telegram ceo or meta isarel unit 800
Usually your videos are well researched, but as you can see in these comments you missed the mark on this one.
Israel did not invade Lebanon as a result of PLO attacks. It invaded Lebanon because of the assassination of Schlomo Argov, which Israel’s far-right prime minister Menachem Begin blamed on the PLO. The PLO did not commit the assassination, it was done by the Abu Nidal Organization (a rival of the PLO’s).
Israel is invading 3 countries at the same time and still playing the card of victim
Zoom out.
They have been objectively the victim of the Muslim world from Morocco to Iran since before 1948, (1.2 Billion Muslims vs. 9 Million Jews) but they haven't acted like it, on the contrary, they have won every battle.
I used to like Johnny for his objective analysis regarding almost all the topics before. However, he is getting more and more biased. I think either them or money got to him
CIA got him just like telegram ceo.
Johnny lost his credibility right here! Disappointing
cry harder
@@ll4680 troll
Johnny is somehow able to piss of both pro-Israelis and pro-Palestinians at the same time
bad one, the Iranian attacks Israel because of bombardment of their embassy in Syria killing their officials which is a violation to the international law. Johnny you were doing well except this war you took a weird pose
why still subscribing? this is Jhonny puppet, just like telegram ceo puppet now. Who knows telegram ceo and him comprise on what terms with CIA.
Why'd you fail to mention all of the Israeli actions which caused all of the responses by Iran and Hezbollah? Iran attacked in April because Israel, for no reason at all, bombed their consulate in Syria. Also a complete disregard for the 2006 war which was started by Israel invading south Lebanon.
How the hell you didn't mention 1701 or 1559?
What even happened in those years that is important enough to be part of this story set in the 20th and 21st century, about a specific militia group.
I am sorry if I sound ignorant. I am ignorant. That is why this doesn't make any sense to me.
3:18 to skip the ad read..
U skipped a part
This doesn't even begin to tell the full story
Johnny your content saw amazing but over the past 2yrs your content seems like propaganda and one sided
I know that Johnny Harris did not travel to Saudi Arabia just for a 13 minute video about hezbollah there has to be more I know it
Damn.. i used to love and trust your content, you're talking about this as if it's just a bunch of events that happened randomly. Anyone who knows the situation knows that you're distorting the narrative
Please just avoid the whole middle east topic, this is missing so muuuuch context It's crazy
Video is too short. Too many important details are missed which explains why certain groups acts the way they do.
Ironic, given the shallow knowledge and depth of this and the sponsorship of a news aggregator that is quite literally killing independent journalism. You're slipping, pal.
Go ahead and do better then
This video is going to be to Johnny Harris what Panels app was to MKBHD 😅
You missed the fact that it was the Maronite Patriarch who asked the French to expand Lebanon to its current extent. He feared a repeat of the famine which claimed between a third to half of the Mutassarifate's population.
Disappointing.
One-sided biased video.
Unsubscribe.
The Hezbollah/Syria part left out that Hezbollah (and other Iranian alied militias from Iraq) were a major part of the boots on the ground forces against ISIS.
IDF propaganda
Johnny, you have to keep your language consistent.
You can’t say ‘’Israel sent its army in Lebanon’’.
Say it as it is. A military invasion into a sovereign country.
Southern Lebanon is the 4th chunk of land Israel is invading after West Bank, Gaza and the Golan Heights.
How dense do you need to be to not understand the exact same thing from both phrasings? You just want him to sound like you would.
Johnny, you're doing great. I don't know if you'll read this, but I genuinely believe you're working hard on being as objective as you can, and that's all that counts for me. I love your content. Don't let the haters drag you down.
Johnny, I’m beyond disappointed. I used to consider you one of the most trustworthy and unbiased journalists, but this video completely destroyed that belief. You ignored the thousands of Lebanese and Palestinians killed by Israeli occupation, left out key details about the bombings before Hezbollah even existed, and conveniently skipped over Israel’s provocations that led to Iran’s retaliation. Your selective storytelling is shocking, and I can’t support such biased content anymore. I’m unsubscribing from your channel because you ignored the historical facts, if someone argues Jhonny may not know about all these, than unsubscribing because you are too shallow generalist to understand the matter.
Your name denounces you. You will never be objective about this. You cannot stand the fact that there's a tiny piece of land between Morocco and Iran where the authority is non-Muslim. Pan Arabic/Muslim supremacy at it's finest. Previous Iranian government was an Israel ally, Ayatollah regime is the one who started hostilities, they are the ones who provoked and they will end up humiliated in the end. That pager thing is one for the books.
same did.
@@cpnete6048 My criticism is not based on religion or identity but on the facts that were omitted or distorted in the video. The suffering of thousands of Lebanese and Palestinians at the hands of Israeli occupation is a historical reality, not an opinion shaped by bias. Israel’s provocations, such as assassinations on Iranian soil and attacks on Lebanon before Hezbollah even existed, are well-documented. Critiquing selective storytelling isn’t about supporting one side-it’s about acknowledging the full scope of the conflict. Peace requires understanding the facts from all perspectives, not just one narrative.
this video is misleading u used to be more legit Johnny
The Ground News sponsor sounds like a very useful product. I will check them out. Thank you for sharing.
Of all the comments this is the one Johnny Harris liked lol
Having so many missiles is not the reason Israel attacked Hezbollah, it is the fact that they've been using it against Israel without direct provocation....
You forgot to say WHY Israel kept invading the south of Lebanon Johnny. Was it because the south of Lebanon and Hesbolah were attacking Israel in the first place?
No, because the US wants regime change.
Bro is so biased. Don’t know how he still has credibility at all.
Missing details, omission of key facts, this video is full of errors and half-truths
The amount of propaganda is increasing video by video
Wait please tell me what you mean. What is the propaganda. I’m very open to feedback so please point out specific critiques so I can take it into account. Thanks!
What propaganda?
@@johnnyharrisit is because you said Israel and not "the zionist entity".
@@johnnyharris There's a lot of quite important things the video didn't include, which may propel people on either side to believe so.
As a long time viewer, it never felt to me you were actively biased, but its true you sometimes skip such important evens it looks a bit suspicious.
Here for example, skipping the 2006 war, that ended with an prophylactic agreements to avoid another war, that Hezbollah ignored almost immediately, might make you seem biased to some pro-Israelis, and perhaps not emphasizing how much people liked Nasrallah over the years or certain actions of his, may upset his supporters.
For the short length of the video its good, and of course your editing and narration are top notch.
Maybe this topic and its adjacent ones deserve a few videos if you want to keep each video short and sweet.
@@johnnyharrisI think these conflicts need longer and more in depth videos Johnny. Some details get skipped inadvertently because of the length. So some of important connections do go missing as a result
You haven’t mentioned the important thing: there were UN militaries between Israel and Lebanon to prevent Hezbollah from going to the Southern Lebanon. They are most famous for doing nothing and cigarettes smuggling, and they let hezbollah go anywhere the next day after the UN resolution

Based off the comments, Johnny should delete this video. He has gotten SO many points wrong here lol. Try again Johnny.
Uninformed Johnny strikes again.
The geopolitics is more relatable, but don’t underplay the level of religious extremism that plays into the founding and philosophy of Hezbollah.
Also don’t overplay it. Hezbollahs supporter demographics is still across the religious spectrum. There are a lot of Hezbollah supporters that hate their religious ideology and involvement in Syria, but believe they are absolutely necessary to prevent Southern Lebanon from turning into a Jewish settler state or in the civil war a terrorist Christian militia willing to kill all Muslims.
Doesn’t matter who stops the IDF, they are the biggest threat to Lebanon. That is the view of many Lebanese people.
Same thing could be said for Israel
@@SerenePaletteStudios sure, not to the same extent, but it’s true.
Israel is far more secular and liberal than Hezbollah, but the religious right have more power there than ever before, and that should indeed be called out and addressed. There is too much religion in this conflict overall.
@@tortoisewarrior4855 Are you Lebanese? If so, I assume you know, but otherwise, did you realize Hezbollah has killed more Lebanese and Syrian people than Israelis?
So yes, many Lebanese who are not religious extremists support Hezbollah or at least side with them over Israel, but that doesn’t change anything in my original premise.
@@tortoisewarrior4855 also, is tortoisewarrior a DragonBall reference or what is the meaning if I may ask?
Why UN resolution 1701 was left out of the video?
Johnny disappointed. He was one of the few geopolitical analyst back in the days.

Johnny this one was not it, tons of missing details regarding Lebanese, Palestinian, Israeli, Syrian and Hezbollah ambitions, inaccurate dates, the Lebanese civil and current wars cannot be glossed over because they are even more complicated than what they already seem like. Also a very evident western bias.
I appreciate the attempt, and have studied the Lebanese history deeply and willing to share information, sources, and try to give as many local, regional and international POVs as possible.
Johnny AIPAC Harris posting another banger.
4:50 - it’s simply wrong.
Palestine was never conquered because it was never established as a state - the Palestinians rejected the UN Partition Plan and started a war against Israel. What actually happened is that Jordan controlled the area, called it the “West Bank,” and then it was taken over by Israel in 1967.
Plenty of modern nations didn’t start as formal "states" until recently, yet no one questions their legitimacy today.
For example:
Germany - Not a unified state until 1871.
Italy - Only unified in 1861.
India - Became a modern nation-state in 1947, yet it existed for millennia as a region with various empires.
United States - Before 1776, it was a group of British colonies.
Saudi Arabia - Established in 1932, previously a region under tribal rule.
So claiming that Palestine isn’t "real" because it wasn’t a modern state is historically ignorant-most nations we recognize today didn’t start as states!
RE: the "West Bank" and Jordan; Israel's occupation of the West Bank after 1967 remains illegal under international law. It should not be considered part of Israel proper.
You don’t have to be a ‘state’ to be conquered. By your logic ( only existing if they’re a state) then Israel didn’t exist until 1948, and historic Israel is a bunch of crock.
@@NagaiColor Google doesn’t make you intelligent, especially when copy and paste is your only tool,
Germany was almany,
Palestine was called the kingdom of Israel or Judah, try reading a book mate
Your whole argument is copy pasted Israeli talking points from the hasbara manual
Palestine itself was not a state yet it was part of an empire . It was not some no mans land it was the opposite it had been at the center of many empires an inhabited by people for 1000s of years stop trying to make Palestine as a lawless dessert it was not . I like how people like you disregard the whole fact that it was part of am empire your like ''yeh the Brits owned it ( they annexed / invaded it dont sugarcote it ) and they can do with it whatever they want '' . Then we should accept what Russia is doing with Crimea and the East of Ukraine and we need to accept what China is going to do to Taiwan aswell or when Turkey gone kick out the US backed terrorists at its border . But i bet you and the whole western world gonna start crying rivers then . Hypocrits are a bigger danger to this world then Hamas or any other terrorist organization in my opinion .
Great video! Just wish it was longer!! :) Like just imagine a 40 min+ johnny harris oooouff
Weird to talk about the displaced Palestinians moving away from Israel without also mentioning the displaced Jewish people moving in from across the middle east
im Lebanese, your first mistake is trying to discuss the last 40 years in 13 minutes, doing so simplifies it to the point that its just inaccurate
So why did he cut out the reason tensions have escalated into another invasion of Lebanon? what is happening in Gaza is genocide and is a crucial piece to this puzzle.
johnny johnny good video 🤛🏾🤛🏾thank you
that's a pretty broad brush you're painting with
waiting for comment "Here before Johnny Change the title 10x comment".
Don’t panic. Usually account managers send out different titles to optimise the click through. They just try to figure out how to get as many clicks per exposure as they can. It’s the name of the game.
lol me too hahaha
Isreal wont let Palestine have an army. That is why you dont hear about Palestine army.
11:52 "Isreali strikes on Iranian proxies and military officials" what you mean to say is Israel strike on an Iran embassy in Syria. Which is considered Iranian sovereignty which also breaks international law. So yeah Iran didn't hit Israel to save hezbollah but because Isreal hit Iran first
Thank you for another amazing video topic!!!
