Of course, it could never be Israel, the state conducting two genocides with a long and storied history of breaking ceasefires and firing on UN troops.
You cease, Israel fires.

Yeah, because Hezbollah would never harm anyone, right 🙂 ?
Go tell that to Syrians. They slaughtered thousands upon thousands of innocent civilians in Syria to save their daddy Bachar El Assad. People were celebrating all over Syria when Hassan Nasrallah was killed.

They are gangsters and thugs. Just because they fight Israel doesn't make them good people.
Bin Laden also fought Israel. Doesn't mean Bin Laden was a good guy

I notice none of your links reference attacks against peacekeeper forces, which Israel does - all the time.
Hezbollah was founded by orphans whose parents were killed by the IDF in Israel's invasion of Lebanon. Hezbollah protects the people of Lebanon from genocide and ethnic cleansing. I will not argue that they haven't committed terrible crimes, I recognize that orphan children organizing a resistance effort against a nuclear power supported by the United States is likely to do things I disagree with, but as a harm reductionist, I would support Hezbollah over Israel. It isn't even close. Israel is a thousand times worse than Hezbollah.
Even Christians living in Lebanon have spoken favorably about Hezbollah, because Hezbollah protects the Lebanese people - regardless of faith or ethnicity - against the terrible crimes of Israel:
Israel is now conducting an ethnic cleansing campaign of Southern Lebanon and Hezbollah are bravely fighting those disgusting Zionist fascists and putting them down like the monsters they are.
If you want to see an end to Hezbollah and their crimes, look no further than the dissolution of the criminal, genocidal state of Israel.

Wow. Hard enough to find common ground in a conflict this complex, but congrats.
I think you've managed to unite every decent person in the sentiment that you are straight concentrated shite and the less people hear from you, the better off they are.
Go die.
