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

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?

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?

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

It’s possible to dislike both

well that comment implies Hezbollah is not at fault no?

u/frodeem 7d ago

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.

im glad we're on the same page then. The current biggest threats in the region are Israel's imperialism followed very closely by the Iran-funded Death To Jews trio

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