Beirut 1982: The Siege That Burned the City
In the summer of 1982, Beirut endured a two-month siege by the Israeli army that turned West Beirut into a battlefield. This episode walks through the daily reality of the siege: the water cutoff, the bread lines, the bombing of the Palestinian refugee camps, and the political chess game between Yasser Arafat, the PLO, and the multinational force that eventually evacuated them. Lucas and Luna explore how the siege reshaped Lebanon's sectarian map, why the Phalangists entered the camps, and what the Sabra and Shatila massacre meant for the country's future. They touch on the role of the Multi-National Force, the Reagan administration's involvement, and the legacy of a siege that broke Beirut's spirit.
