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.

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.

right, 'cause is Israel is always attacking them unprovoked Roll Eyes

also, cite for the "most" part?
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.
