you might have actually stumbled across a twitter account that knows somewhat wtf they are talking about! bc I have heard the same in that, Hezbollah is supplied by the Syrian Weapons Industry.

which is probably at least partially why the West went to such effort to destroy the country. but they failed.

Yeah had nothing to do with Assad using chemical weapons on his own people, it was definitely the Syrian weapon industry. Is there any despotic anti-American regime you won’t defend?

Radical Sunni and radical Shiite Islamist groups have been fighting each other in this part of the world for 1,000+ years for various reasons. Nothing weird about this at all.

The Syrian Civil War has involved a lot of different groups, for a lot of different reasons. But the fundamental driver is control of natural resources (including transport), namely oil and gas.

ofc it didnt. even if Assad's forces did it, when has the West cared about civilian murder?

You could have just cut to the chase and said no.

The West is who set up all the rules about targeting civilians and committing crimes against humanity in the first place, so yeah I would say they probably care about it. They did some bad things during the Cold War when they were afraid of the Soviets setting up nukes in the Western hemisphere, so I’m not saying we’re perfect by any stretch of the imagination.

Surely.

On a related note, are there any sources on how much of Hezbollah’s resources get used to build defensive structures for their population? Do they use any of their Iranian funding to build bomb shelters? Have they tried developing a system like the iron dome? Or is all their funding poured into offensive weaponry? I’m assuming the average civilian doesn’t have access to their tunnels.
Oh. ADMONISHING. Had no idea. Admonishing with what consequences?

From an International Law pov, Israel has no right to attack, bomb, and invade Gaza so once again, Hezbollah is on the side of righteousness.

From the inception of Hezbollah to the present, the elimination of the State of Israel has been one of Hezbollah's primary goals. Some translations of Hezbollah's 1985 Arabic-language manifesto state that "our struggle will end only when this entity [Israel] is obliterated".

You also have no actual idea what genocide means. Israel is not targeting Palestinians simply because they are Palestinians. They are targeting Hamas and any Palestinian whose goal is the destruction of Israel.

Lastly, suggesting that Israel has no right to attack, bomb, and invade Gaza after Hamas committed its October massacre is blindly disingenuous at best. But to suggest that Hezbollah is on the side of righteousness when it is their goal to destroy Israel is a testament to the type of person you clearly come across as being.

Bibi and Co have basically told Nas that they want to fight it out now and get this **** over with for good.

They just don't care about causalities on either side and there will be a lot of them coming up

Two old psychopathic arrogant mother****ers with seething hate willing to likely ruin millions of lives well beyond their life expectancy.
