It is the front line, technically. Is Hezbollah not automatically connected to Lebanon in your mind? Tongue

The problem is he said Lebanon was fighting Hezbollah, when they're actually part of the Lebanese government.

Even most Lebanese people think they're a legitimate fighting force to defend the country from Israel. I don't disagree with them.

So is our resident open anti-Semite merely a Hezbollah "sympathizer" or do you endorse the organization?

Don't jump to conclusions. I said that I'm proud whenever a Zionist calls me an anti-Semite, much like how you're proud when someone calls you deplorable, fascist, or racist.

How the world sees the Lebanon/Hezbollah statement:
"My God, who is running the US?"

How Netanyahu sees it:
"Yees..he finally got it"

How Trump sees it:
"ISIS, al Qaeda, Hezbollah...two out of three ain't bad"

I had a poll from 2006 (during the war there) in mind when I posted that. After searching for more recent polls, it seems that that's no longer correct, possibly due to their involvement in Syria. I stand corrected.

The average Badger post typically consists of an exaggerated past episode, a cheap platitude his grandmother taught him at a young age, and exactly three periods trailing off.
