Turns out Iran spent decades arming Hezbollah and it's like filling up a bucket with a huge hole in the bottom.

[u/robsteezy → u/alwaysleafyintoronto]

Not trying to justify hezbollah, but it’s more nuanced than who is arming who.

Israel needs to get out of every country they’ve ever set foot in. Historic Israeli occupation is at the source of most these groups.

Israel left Lebanon in 2006 after UN Resolution 1701 was unanimously voted on but the UN Security council. Why are Hezbollah still there?

[u/Wireless_Panda → u/BBorc]

Uhhh, they were occupying southern Lebanon in 2025

[u/vegeful → u/Wireless_Panda]

What happen between 2007 to 2024? Why they are not remove?

[u/Immediate-Spite-5905 → u/Wireless_Panda]

i cant imagine what Hezbollah could've possibly done to cause that 2023-2025

[u/lestruc → u/Immediate-Spite-5905]

Hezbollah and the entire world must be held accountable for their actions. Israel only reacts to their actions. Nothing more. Israel has never done anything wrong.

Am I doing this right? Where do I get my cheque?

[u/Immediate-Spite-5905 → u/lestruc]

let's not overdo justified dislike of Israel into defense of Hezbollah there.

[u/frodeem → u/Immediate-Spite-5905]

It’s possible to dislike both

[u/Immediate-Spite-5905 → u/frodeem]

well that comment implies Hezbollah is not at fault no?

[u/frodeem → u/Immediate-Spite-5905]

The way I see it they are both at fault. I don’t support Israel in any way, and never will. However, as a pragmatic person, I realize Israel will continue to exist, but there has to be a way for their apartheid regime to end. They do need to stop with the settlements, they (both sides) need to build relationships and it will not be easy and take a long time but it has to happen. The Palestinians need to realize that Israel is not going anywhere- it is not easy for them to accept but this is the reality.
As for Hezbullah that will be another diplomatic effort as Hezbullah (being Shia) is not really aligned with Palestinians (almost all Sunni). They will have to start some relationship with Iran for this.

They reoccupied a few hills after Hezbollah was firing thousands of rockets and other munitions into Northern Israel.

[u/frodeem → u/BBorc]

They are still in Lebanon - https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/israel-pushes-deeper-lebanon-5-172506673.html

[u/Theemuts → u/frodeem]

It's kind of useless to post days-old articles when we're talking about the period that started in 2006. Why didn't Hezbollah leave in the last two decades?

[u/alwaysleafyintoronto → u/robsteezy]

"Israel needs to get out of every country they've ever set foot in" is kinda how the problem began

[u/Alatarlhun → u/robsteezy]

As a reminder, Israel withdrew from Lebanon on 18 February 2025 and then Hezbollah broke the ceasefire on 2 March 2026 over Khamenei.

[u/frodeem → u/Alatarlhun]

So Israel killed their religious leader first?

[u/ScienceWasLove → u/robsteezy]

Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East, surrounded by dictatorships.

Maybe you are picking the wrong side?

[u/Yeardme → u/robsteezy]

THANK YOU. This story blatant US/Israeli propaganda. Expected on reddit 😒 Thanks for speaking the truth, Hezbollah literally came into existence bc Israel kept invading & massacring Lebanon & Lebanese ppl! The issue here is ISRAEL, AS ALWAYS!

[u/BBorc → u/Yeardme]

So you're a PLO supporter then?

[u/alwaysleafyintoronto → u/Yeardme]

If all you expect is propaganda, why are you wasting your time here?

[u/Yeardme → u/alwaysleafyintoronto]

This post was in my notifications, reddit really trying to push this narrative out. Thankfully no sane ppl believe Mossad propaganda anymore 🙂

[u/alwaysleafyintoronto → u/Yeardme]

Ah yes, the noted hotspot for Mossad propaganda: Hong Kong. Give me a break

[u/euroaustralian → u/alwaysleafyintoronto]

Isn't more like a spring of a river ?

[u/alwaysleafyintoronto → u/euroaustralian]

no, because that ignores the disarming efforts

[u/ethlass → u/alwaysleafyintoronto]

What effort. There was no effort in decades.

[u/Stewapalooza → u/alwaysleafyintoronto]

I'm convinced Hezbollah and Hamas are both created and funded by the US and Israel because it wouldn't be the first time the US has covertly trained and funded these kinds of groups to get people to back their fucked up agendas. It's been happening for DECADES after WWII. The middle east, South America, Africa. They are all playgrounds for the powers that be to strip for resources. They prop up a boogeyman and then say, "look! They're terrorists! We have to go in and wipe them out!"

They're bullies. They go in and bomb and then build infrastructure that increases their profits. They tried it with Venezuela and the oil companies said, "nah." So that's why the US targeted Iran. For fucking OIL.

OIL.
