For Hezbollah and Hamas, US Democrats and Republicans are two sides of the same coin as they have both provided unlimited support to Israel, and sought to create a “New Middle East”.

    For what it’s worth, Hezbollah has 13 of 128 seats in Lebanon’s parliament, and the CIA World Factbook says about a third of Lebanese are Christian, so I’m going to disagree with your characterization.

    Hamas hasn’t held elections in nearly 20 years, so I’m going to disagree with you again. Israel’s accelerated genocide may have galvanized support for Hamas recently, but I haven’t looked into that.

      Hezbollah has political allies (including christians) which together amount(ed) to a majority.

      See: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/hezbollah-allies-win-62-seats-lebanon-parliament-losing-2018-majority-reuters-2022-05-17/

      And it’s not Hamas which holds elections, but rather the Palestinian authority, presided by the leader of Fatah (opponent of Hamas) who has been impeding elections since 2006 because his party is losing popularity.

        I beg you (anyone reading this) please be more aware about what you write and say, especially if you haven’t looked into the issue in depth.

          It is important not to estrange the people, no matter how deluded they are. This is a product of the hegemonic order.
