The Nazi party was the same. 

Hezbollah was created in response to the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in the 1980s, in which Israel supported numerous fascist Christian groups such as the Lebanese Front. Both the IDF and the fascist paramilitaries commited massacres against Lebanons Muslim population. So your comparison of Hezbollah to the nazis is total bullshit, when it was in fact Israel that backed the Lebanese equivalent of the nazis.

Way to go totally missing the point. It's a political system that embeds one party at every level of society.

It seems Hezbollah has various purposes. There's the jihadi paramilitary wing but they also have political elements and the social aspects such as education, health as well as various other aspects.

While the pager explosions would be in theory targeting their military wing it is isn't inconceivable that a large element of those affected had no direct role in the military side of things.

It seems like an overreaching organisation modelled on the Iranian model of government.

Just for the record, I agree with this.

My point was essentially that it's preferable to dropping a bomb on a hospital to kill a handful of Hamas/Hezbollah agents, and killing and wounding hundreds in the process, which seems to be what they have been doing in Gaza. At least this way the pagers are likely to be in the hands, quite literally, of those involved with Hezbollah. Of course, it won't be perfect, but it's better than the alternative.

Looks Israel will be putting boots on the ground soon. They say it is so that 60000 displaced Israelis can return to Northern Israel. No mention of the 200000 displaced Lebanese.

US seems more concerned with an intercepted ballistic missile that was fired towards Tel Aviv.

Keith Starmer just ticking the boxes. An absolute wet wipe. Asking for deescalation, and for British nationals to get out.
