Now look what Hezbollah is doing

Having failed to topple the legitimate Lebanese government by assassination and intimidation, and bolstered by their recent "win" over Israel, Hezbollah is now trying to topple to government through rioting, trying to produce a coup, which they were accused of plotting last month.

Wow what a shock - look who's right there supporting them. "The group, backed by Iran and Syria, withdrew from government last month. Hezbollah withdrew its minister from the government last month - and other pro-Syrian members of the cabinet followed suit."

Somehow this is our fault too, I'm sure.

Hardly news. Hezbollah was formed to, is dedicated to, only exists to fuck with Israel. For that they need Lebanon, so they will never stop as long as they exist. If the Lebanese allow them to stay, they will be causing trouble for the lebanese and Jews....forever.

Hezbollah already exists for 25 years, nothing new. Due to the disastrous strategic decisions in the last war by Israel it was able to raise it's prestige and is now cashing it.

And for removing politicians by force and intimidation is not uncommon in that area, by any party.
