Of course, it could never be Israel, the state conducting two genocides with a long and storied history of breaking ceasefires and firing on UN troops.
You cease, Israel fires.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Yeah, because Hezbollah would never harm anyone, right 🙂 ?
Go tell that to Syrians. They slaughtered thousands upon thousands of innocent civilians in Syria to save their daddy Bachar El Assad. People were celebrating all over Syria when Hassan Nasrallah was killed.
- The UN Tribunal for Justice in Lebanon accused Hezbollah commanders of organizing a car bomb that killed Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.

- They blew up a bus full of tourists in Bulgaria
https://www.france24.com/en/20130205-bulgaria-accuses-hezbollah-bus-bombing-terrorism
- They sent threats to the judge investigating the Beirut Port Explosion
- A few years before that explosion, they got caught purchasing extra-pure Ammonium Nitrate in London
They are gangsters and thugs. Just because they fight Israel doesn't make them good people.
I notice none of your links reference attacks against peacekeeper forces, which Israel does - all the time.
Hezbollah was founded by orphans whose parents were killed by the IDF in Israel's invasion of Lebanon. Hezbollah protects the people of Lebanon from genocide and ethnic cleansing. I will not argue that they haven't committed terrible crimes, I recognize that orphan children organizing a resistance effort against a nuclear power supported by the United States is likely to do things I disagree with, but as a harm reductionist, I would support Hezbollah over Israel. It isn't even close. Israel is a thousand times worse than Hezbollah.
Even Christians living in Lebanon have spoken favorably about Hezbollah, because Hezbollah protects the Lebanese people - regardless of faith or ethnicity - against the terrible crimes of Israel:
"How can we as Christians in this area not be with Hezbollah? They protect our churches," Rifaat Nasrallah, a 60-year-old quarryman from the village, told the Telegraph.
Israel is now conducting an ethnic cleansing campaign of Southern Lebanon and Hezbollah are bravely fighting those disgusting Zionist fascists and putting them down like the monsters they are.
If you want to see an end to Hezbollah and their crimes, look no further than the dissolution of the criminal, genocidal state of Israel.
lol, shameless statement
