AMANPOUR: Well, we see this kind of pictures coming out of Gaza, coming out of the occupied West Bank. We hear the Israeli defense authorities and others saying, we are going to turn this part of Lebanon into Gaza. I mean, it's said. That is what they say.
Again, here we are in the presidential palace, one of the areas of Beirut that have been struck. You can feel it here in this palace, you told me, when the bombings happen. You can see it from your balcony here. Are you powerless?'

The first programs on PBS that should be canceled are: PBS Newshour under Islamic Amna Nawaz and the BS by C. Amanpour.
If nothing else, her accent is appears to represent the ultimate in ‘trying to be believable’.
In any case, being on PBS pretty much seals the “unbelievable” categorization.
PBS is a joke.
Amanpour.... the mannish war-slut is still on. some channel?!
I saw the interview. Prez. Aoun heard Amanpour’s propaganda but didn’t cave. He sti held on to denouncing Hezbollah
Amanpour conducts all of her interviews something like this, using the latest interview with Lebanese PM, Aoun:
PM Aoun (PMA): Yes, so we see that Iran and Hezbollah are directly interfering with our policies regarding Israel. We want peace with Israel, eventually and we are sick and tired of outside agitators causing us war after war.
Amanpour (A): SO what your saying is that Israeli atrocities in your country are the root of all evil and PM Netanyahu should be tried for war crimes?
PM Aoun (PMA): No, I am saying that in our Shiite areas like southern Lebanon, on the border with Israel, we are sick and tired of terrorists like the PLO and later Hezbollah attacking Israel so they will retaliate and kill our civilians. They claim to be the “resistance” but in reality they all have dragged us into wars with Israel.
Amanpour: SO what your saying is that Israel is the sole party responsible for violence in the entire Middle East and she should be blown off the map by Iran’s nuclear arsenal?
PM Aoun (PMA): No, I am saying that in our Shiite areas like southern Lebanon, on the border with Israel, we are sick and tired of terrorists like the PLO and later Hezbollah attacking Israel so they will retaliate and kill our civilians. They claim to be the “resistance” but in reality they all have dragged us into wars with Israel.
Amanpour: No, I am saying that the Lebanese people truly want peace with our neighbor to the south, Israel. A bright day will come when we can ski together in the Shouf mountains and eat Labaneh in Sidon or Tyre.
Amanpour: Are you trying to tell me that evil, evil Israel is intentionally bombing civilians and that Netanyahu should be tried for wear crimes? If so, how should the UN condemn Israel 347 times in one day for the fact that they exist?
PM Aoun (PMA): Ms. Amanpour, were you born in Teheran and are you an agent for most Middle Eastern terror groups?
Amanpour: PM Aoun, how dare you accuse me of being a supporter of Islamic terror. I am the best journalist of all timק, working at the most reputable news organization in the world, CNN!
PM Aoun: We are done with this interview...
Amanpour: One last question. Do you think Israel should be tried for war crimes and sanctioned until the country collapses and the Arabs can overrun her?
