When Israeli forces occupied the town of Bint Jbeil in southern Lebanon, thousands of miles away in Michigan, Danielle Elzayat thought to check on her house.
"Every time anyone says that Israel is our only friend in the Middle East, I can't help but think that, before Israel, we had no enemies in the Middle East."-Father John Sheehan.
Misleading as usual from the NYT. The city is a Hezbollah stronghold where houses and buildings are used as weapons & command centers. Their destruction is legal per current war norms. And let's hope that peace eventually arrives for both sides once Hezbollah is removed from Lebanon.
Be not fooled. These people support Hez bollah and Iran. They only find it convenient to pretend they are "American". They would side with Iran and Hez bollah against the US any day. Those same people dream of kicking out native Christians from Lebanon and take over their ancestral homeland and who have been there before Islam became a thing. They say it every day. I'm Lebanese and I know very well.
This video is purposely misleading people who don't know the region. Bintj beil was maybe the main Hezbollah stronghold, everyone participated and yes all the houses has weapons
Those are not US homes, they are a home abroad that is owned by someone from the US. I am very sad for these families, especially all the history that was lost.
Yeah, it's their vacation homes that they visit maybe once a year. These people are wealthy enough to own one house in the US and one abroad and be able to travel there regularly. I would focus on the on the people that are living in Lebanon, that are actually loosing their only home as well as their lives
My family has some property in Lebanon. I’m not worried about the property in Beirut, but I worry about our house in Mlikh that’s been in our family for over a century. It’s a Christian village, but close to the fighting. My great-grandmother, who could actually read and speak Aramaic, grew up there and was buried there about 10 years ago. Can we please end this unnecessary destruction and suffering.

Now WSJ should do a segment on American owned things being destroyed by Hezbollah. That will be disproportionate.
