Who is Hezbollah? And what is this war? | The News Agents

The Prime minister has arrived in New York and called on British citizens to evacuate Lebanon after Israeli missiles targetting Hezbollah left more than 550 dead in one day. Who are Hezbollah? Where did this war begin? We talk to the historian James Barr about the strange paramilitary army that is sewn into the society of Southern Lebanon.
Later, Labour lose their first conference vote over winter fuel - UNITE union are triumphant. And... stay with us to the end for a special guest appearance. NO SPOILERS!

Israel on a rampage.

[@weswheel4834]

Didn’t they tell people to leave their homes and come back later a while back? Presumably those people are home again now?

[@SamMerchant-vn4or]

yeah having a cup of tea, sat snugly at home, after those very thoughtful warnings

[@michellebagnall1953]

WHO ARE THE SETTLERS? WHO ARE THE KAHANA SETTLERS? AND WHAT IS TERRORISM?

[@dannyquinn9128]

Shouldn't it be "who are" rather than "who is"?

[@jacobjorgenson9285]

You need to tell the story about Zionism and their crimes and breaking of international humanitarian law…

[@clivecosta-correa2102]

3:09 Why deliver this critically urgent and immediate message to the Lebanese people in English, without an interpreter? Israeli propagandists missing a trick; or simply don't give a toss anymore?

[@alecporter1784]

I'm sure this will get lots of negative comments on such a trivial comment but Lewis is doing a full on 1968/69 corduroy suit vibe

[@leilawhatnow6693]

Slightly Austin Powers?

[@hassan_2478]

What is Zionism? What is Israel how it was created and by who?

[@brianferguson7840]

For all those who obviously need a history lesson but are unable to read a book. The present iteration of the problem in the area known as Palestine began with the publication of Theodore Herzle's treatise on zionism in the late 1800s. This was the start of the occupation of Palestinian Arab lands by jewish settlers.

Hey Lewis, that's some serious "Fabricant" you've got up top.

[@bertiemarshall3391]

Honey and lemon and garlic…Lewis… lots of water..etc

[@RunOfTheHind]

Israeli go crazy.

[@RalphBrooker-gn9iv]

Is Lewis’ hair too big for its roots. Discuss.
