    Hezbollah is a legitimately elected party in Lebanon’s parliament. If this had been done by an Arab nation to a Western nation, it would be the end of the fucking world. October 7 all over again. Horrific terrorism.

    But seriously, Imagine all of the members of the UK labor party being injured or killed by a coordinated attack like this. Do you think people would be talking about how cool it was then?

    When Israel does it? “Self defense”

      Hezbollah is a legitimately elected party in Lebanon’s parliament

      “… and paramilitary group,[44][45] led since 1992 by its Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah. Hezbollah’s paramilitary wing is the Jihad Council,[46] and its political wing is the Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc party in the Lebanese Parliament. Its armed strength was assessed to be equivalent to that of a medium-sized army in 2016.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hezbollah

      What’s the armed strength of the UK labour party, just curious?

      Oct 7th and Sept 11th all over again.

      And hezbollah is a fuckload more restrained in how they target Israel with rockets than how Israel bombs Lebanon.
