They are like the minutemen, but have worse PR.

    Haha no. Take some time and read up maybe? All the info is available. Heck, maybe hop on a call and talk to some people in Lebanon? Anything. Just stop repeating nonsense.

    All the info is available.

    But it ISN'T. The US mainstream media constantly lies and the US pushes propaganda all around the world. We've been fed disinformation for decades not just since Trump. So I can't just read up on them without a deep dive in trying to first find neutral sources and read and then evaluate them. If you just read the standard version about them your perception is going to be warped. Like I said, they have bad PR, which really means prevailing propaganda brands them as evil.

    I don't like their religious views either but fundamentally they are guys in a militia fighting against foreign invaders and threats to their country.

    Why do you think this?

    Probably because Hezbollah maintains that Israel is still occupying Lebanon.

    And they're right about that.

    Yea. The UN confirmed most of the occupied lebanese territories from the six day war were returned. Yes, I know some areas of Sheeba Farms are still contested.

    I'm curious, if all the Sheeba Farm territories were completely returned tomorrow do you think Hezbollah would retire?
