    Your problem is insisting to pick a side.

    Your problem is not picking a side. You a have 3 options . Israel the colonial genocidal power threatening the whole region with more colonization regardless of anything, the useless Lebanese army who let Israel occupy with no push back in 82 and in 2006, 2026 and Hezbollah who is a resistance groups. Israel killed multiple Lebanese soldiers , the army did not retaliate . You can support Hezbollah right to defend the Lebanese state while condemning any atrocities they commit.

    That’s some serious mental gymnastics

    It is called context, something you lack. I condemn the target of civilians of all sides during the Syrian civil war including Hezbollah.

    Why are the only two options “good and bad” or “equally bad” Both sides can be bad while being differently bad.

    Context again . Nazi germany was a bigger threat in world war 2. The only aggressor in the context was the axis

    And some of the allies in WW2 were definitely bad, especially the Soviet Union, who just replaced one occupying force in Eastern Europe with another.

    Also France and the British empire two of the bloodiest colonial power
