Without offering any endorsement or approval of Hamas itself, I have a hard time blaming people under such desperate circumstances from grasping the only hand offered them.

Top City Homo posted:and there were Jewish members in the Fascist party in Italy. The Italian Fascists weren't phenotypically racist, but nationally racist - so of course they would tolerate Italian Jews if they were willing to serve the fascist state. Islamic fascism would be a movement that wouldn't tolerate any forms of non-Islamic practice, yet Hezbollah defends Lebanese Christians and Druze from ISIS. Saying that they're a front organization is also seriously ignorant. I guess you'd say that the Houthi are an "front organization" too.

There are few good guys or bad guys in the Middle East, or for that matter in most conflicts. ISIS are baddies and pretty much the whole world is in agreement there but everything else is shades of gray.

They don't control the state yet. But their districts in Beirut are run like Iranian style theocratic cantons. Hezbollah is an extension of Iranian influence and they are fighting against "Sunni" fundamentalists (ISIS), while their brand of fundamentalism is Iranian Shia. So they are in a turf war and they don't want to poo poo in their backyard by alienating their compatriots, for now. But their ideology is at the minimum, Iranian theocracy. That's what awaits Lebanon if they take over. just read the most basic stuff about HIzbollah and you will find that its like an Iranian version of the Contras https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hezbollah quote:Hezbollah was conceived by Muslim clerics and funded by Iran primarily to harass the Israeli occupation. Its leaders were followers of Ayatollah Khomeini, and its forces were trained and organized by a contingent of 1,500 Revolutionary Guards that arrived from Iran with permission from the Syrian government. quote:Saying that they're a front organization is also seriously ignorant. I guess you'd say that the Houthi are an "front organization" too. look mate, its simple PKK=good IRA=good Houthis with their slogan "God is great, death to the US, death to Israel, curse the Jews, and victory for Islam" can go gently caress themselves to death Also, the Ukranian Insurrectionary Army was bad a guerilla army, or being the underdog doesn't automatically make you the good guy Top City Homo has issued a correction as of 04:05 on May 30, 2017 |

whether or not labour wins in the end im glad corbyn's numbers are at least close enough now to clear out all the dipshit lunatic goons that spent the last four weeks agreeing with basically all of his policy positions while still whining about him being unelectable the post-election aftermath is still going to be a pain in the rear end, but i'll burn that bridge when i get to it

Being supported by foreign powers doesn't make them "front" organizations. The implication that they're a front would imply that they have no legitimate support among the local people they govern, which is absolutely not the case. Top City Homo posted:that's my point Your point is poo poo. "Islamic clerical fascism" has a very specific implication which Hezbollah does not meet. Iranian Theocracy doesn't even meet the definition of fascism. quote:That's what awaits Lebanon if they take over. Considering Iran is at least an "Islamic Republic" that grants protections to its minority communities, there are far worse fates for Lebanon in the middle east. Ayatollah Khomeini even issued a fatwa that it is forbidden to attack Jews. quote:look mate, its simple Nothing about the Middle East is simple, or clear cut. The only person being simple here is you, by uncritically regurgitating Israeli & American propaganda about Hezbollah. Comparing them to the contras is one of the most idiotic things you've ever said.
