Keeping them in check???!!!
If Hezbollah was not there, Israel would have no reason to bother with Lebanon.[/quote]
Ya they would, keep Syria from having the coastline…lol.
They were allies with Russia in the 80’s I believe. Disbanded by Syria, now back in action.
Why on earth would anyone support Hezbollah’s actions if it leads to another civil war on par with what happened 20 years ago…and look, no Israel to blame this time.

No Israel to blame! The outrage! It must be the U.S.'s fault then.
Here’s what the Financial Times (brought to you by R. Murdoch) was publishing today:
[i]Hizbollah, the Shia group backed by Iran and Syria, received a significant concession �?? a blocking minority in a new cabinet �?? but was also seeking an electoral law that could secure a better performance for its Christian allies in Beirut in next year�??s parliamentary elections. (�?�)
The dispute over the division of electoral districts in Beirut �?? in effect, over a few seats �?? might appear a detail but it could prove decisive in the elections in which the opposition is hoping to reverse the governing Âcoalition�??s parliamentary majority.
Opposition officials have complained that the coalition was intent on thwarting any chance of real electoral competition in Beirut. Government loyalists, meanwhile, have charged that the opposition was seeking to control Beirut, a stronghold of the Sunni community that leads the coalition.
Hizbollah�??s allies insisted that they would not leave Doha without a deal and negotiations were continuing.[/i]
The next idiot who says Hezbollah is a fanatical, anti-Semite, Islamo-fascist party will get an ass-whooping from me.

Hizballywood allows attractive women to dress sexy for propaganda photos with the aid of sympathetic wire service photographers, therefore they’re not Jew-hating troglodytes.

Once more, Hezballah supporters are +90% of Semitic heritage themselves. I fail to see how you can tag them “anti-semites”.
However, it is true that their sworn enemies are Zionists. But I can’t say that I blame them for that, seeing how the movement would not exist if Israel did not invade and occupy Lebanon for so long. And yes, I realize that it was because of the Palestinian resistance launching attacks from there, but again, there would be no PLO without the Zionist movement kicking the Palestinians out of their lands.
How hard was that? Communication is much easier when one inquires about the other side’s views instead of making faulty assumptions.
For one thing, it shows that the party is not a monolithic block. Aounites and other nationalists are very much behind Nassrallah. A handful of nations (six to be exact), consider Hezballah to be a terrorist organization, and the usual portrayal on this board of the movement echoes that position. Somewhere along the way, some might forget the reasons behind its inception and the fact that hundreds (see my reply to HH in another thread) of nations consider them a legitimate political movement should be enough to make reasonable people reconsider their position.
And since when do we need a reason for posting hotties on T-Nation?

In other words, what exactly do these pictures prove?

There’s always going to be somebody that considers killers and fascists a “legitimate political movement”. The first time I remember hearing about Hezballah, they were conducting assassin-raids against peaceful Jewish villages.
“Hezballah supporters are +90% of Semitic heritage themselves” - Now, this is hilarious. Good one.

In this case, it’s not so much “somebody” as the whole planet minus 6.
Well, nobody said anything about them being choir boys. But I’m curious about these so called "assassin-raids against peaceful Jewish villages’. Details please.
Well, they are. You can laugh it off if you must, but there’s no going around that. It’s a fact.

You can laugh it off if you must, but there’s no going around that. It’s a fact.
Why is it a fact? It hasn’t been verified. You pulled it out of Al-Jazeera Junior, which you run from Kronofogdens basement.
Diversify your news sources, please. I’m still laughing.
Either way, I ain’t wasting my time explaining the ABCs to someone who seems more interested in ad hominems than debate.[/quote]
But yet, you are wasting your time and everybody else’s.
That’s 6183 wasted posts. It’s hard to debate issues with you, you are very one-sided and willfully dense.
