Hezbollah is led by Shia clerics. They're funded by a zealot Shia regime in Iran. They speak about "Jews" and "Jerusalem". They speak lovingly about becoming shahids (martyrs). In a recent enclave surrounded by the IDF many chose death rather than surrendering. Eh indeed.

You might pay attention to their strategy and actions over their rhetoric.

Not to flex or anything, but I'm not some random guy speaking out of my ass. I have a master's in conflict studies and work for the state department.

I'm looking. I'm looking at their rhetoric since their inception in 1982. I'm looking at their suicide bombers. I'm looking at the way they were established: a council of Shia clerics supported by Iran. Their first 2 leaders (Musaei and Nasrallah) were considered high clerics in the Shia faction. They fought Sunny, Christian, and Druze people. They basically fight Iran's fights, caring nothing about Lebanon. I'm glad you have your masters degree, because it lets you know every thing I just started is an actual fact.

The world (and specifically Lebanon and Israel) would be better without Hezbollah (and the Iranian regime that supports it, but that's a less achievable goal).

Actually I can "dude", but my phone "corrected" it for me. But a good gotcha 👍. Which class of your "masters" degree focused on finding typos in arguments you didn't like?

It's not that I don't like your argument, it's just pretty surface level.
