    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”

      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.

      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?
