Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying. Israel is one of the most powerful nations on Earth, Hezbollah is not even close. I don't think genocide is an appropriate response to the hatred of a much, much weaker enemy.
- ekanes 2y agoGenocide is a term generally related to civilians. Hezbollah has been designated a terrorist organization by the USA.
- raxxorraxor 2y agoHezbollah is a militia and has more manpower and equipment than the Lebanese army. They get high tech supplies from allies like Iran and they have more military power than a lot of the surrounding countries, who also fear them for that reason. They aren't a civilian force and they are a serious military threat, especially with the backing of Iran.

- digging 2y agoSorry, I meant that I don't believe they are, but I believe they would if it became opportune. And I'm not aware of any indication otherwise; it can be assumed they would choose against it, but I don't make that assumption.
