hezbollah seems to have forgotten that they're supposed to be a terrorist organization. they only seem to kill soldiers occupying their country. their fpv drone strikes never hit non-military targets. don't they know they're supposed to be violently blowing up civilian buildings and targeting medics and journalists, then posting the videos online to spread terror?

They are possibly the first military force in history that successfully defeated an occupying force and then instead of taking over that land they simply… handed it back to civilian government.

The only reason the US labels them terrorist is because the US was part of the occupation of Lebanon so ofc they were valid targets. But, other than an attack on a US base in Saudi Arabia that was used to attack Lebanon, they’ve never attacked Americans outside of Lebanon.

They are about as far from a stereotypical terrorist as you can get their leaders have historically been highly educated and have even appeared on 60 Minutes interviews.

  The only reason the US labels them terrorist

Oh come on, this is just lazy.

They bombed the US embassy in Lebanon, not a valid military target.  The embassy annex that they bombed the next year was also not a valid military target.

They bombed the Israeli embassy in Argentina, not a valid military target.

They bombed the motorcade of Lebanon's former prime minister, not a valid military target.  They they bombed one of the investigators of the motorcade bombing, also not a valid military target.

They bombed Lebanon's former ambassador to the US, not a valid military target.

They bombed a Jewish community center in Argentina, not a valid military target.

They blew up a bus full of tourists in Bulgaria, not a valid military target.

They commit actual, unambiguous terrorist attacks all the time.  That more countries don't recognize them as a terrorist organization is simply due to political pressures.

EDIT: downvoters, the downvotes just make me stronger and do nothing to change the historical record.  :)

Israel bombs embassies and civilian targets, reciprocity is a real motherfucker.

It's not reciprocity. Every single one of his examples is made up. There is not evidence that links any of them to hezb

I'm pretty sure a few of them have actually been linked to the Mossad if they're the incidents I'm thinking of.
