@BenRossTransit Hezbollah is effectively the government of much of Lebanon, which takes a position on Israel/Palestine, but serves its own interests first. It is allied with Iran, a power hostile to Israel in a contest for regional dominance, and both parties use Palestinians as an excuse for military action in service of the geopolitical goals of their alliance. Both are much more “rational” than Hamas, because they have constructive as well as destructive interests. 2/
