    Please let’s not make this into a “the enemy of the enemy is my friend” situation. Yes, Hezbollah are attacking Israel right now as well. They are also a hard-line Islamist group that wants to turn Lebanon into another Iran. If they got their way, Palestine would be no different. Never glorify them because they are not helping except in that every bomb Israel uses on them is one less bomb they can use on Palestine.

        I have seen praises of Hezbollah recently because they’re fighting Israel and it’s highly disturbing because they absolutely would be fine oppressing the Palestinian population and enforcing strict Islamic law on them.

        I mean please someone stop the genocide, but maybe not Hezbollah?

          I agree with you overall but I mean, is anyone else going to do it? We’re at what, 30k dead now? I don’t think we should wait until it’s 60k or worse to actually do something. If Hezbollah are actually taking action then fair play to them.

          Maybe a good analogy is Stalin bringing the USSR into the war against Hitler. Stalin is basically as bad as Hitler, but that action undoubtedly helped to bring the Nazi genocide to an end. I’m not sure it would have been better if he hadn’t. Of course the best outcome would have been both of them dead but still
