    That’s why it’s quite pertinent that the flag in question was the flag of Hezbollah, not the flag of Hamas, and that they’re alleged to have said “up Hezbollah” and “kill your MP”. Put it all together and you don’t get a bunch of honourable defenders of freedom.

      I support Hezbollah wholeheartedly in their solidarity with the Palestinian people and their fight against western Imperialism. Mo Chara is correct on all fronts.

            I ask because Hezbollah denies the holocaust and makes it clear they hate Jews in general, not just Israel and Zionism, so I don’t see how you can oppose genocide and support an organisation would gladly carry one out given the chance.

            Is it really that hard to oppose two sides in a conflict?

              I don’t care what Hezbollah believes and I don’t have to. I am well aware of their flaws but I support them regardless because we cannot expect them to be perfect in their circumstances. The Algierians did not have perfect beliefs, the soviets didn’t, the people of madagascar didn’t, nor the Aztecs. I support all of them regardless. I do not expect perfection from people fighting for their right to exist and prosper. I even expect severe imperfection from them. This does not dissuade me. To expect that from them only serves imperialism. Are you honestly surprised so many Arabs deny the holocaust when the only jews so many of them have met were Israelis who use the Shoah as justification for colonialism? I probably wouldn’t believe them either.

                This is so far from expecting perfection that your reply is funny. It’s the lowest of bars. Only the barest shred of nuisance is required to understand that “enemy of my enemy” isn’t a perfect guide.

                  And here we see a civilized Westener once again setting the bar of morality for the Barbarians from the Orient, after, while and before he continues to rape them and their lands because of their racial inferiority, because they just won‘t obey and subordinate.
