If the Iranian "protestors" are being supported by genocidal terrorists like this fella, it does an awful lot to undermine their credibility. They are certainly no friends of the West, and no improvement on the existing regime.

It shines a new light on it, and the regime is probably right to in prison them.
That's some take!

I have Iranian friends and colleagues here who fled the regimes torture and oppression, who are so desperate for the mullahs to get their comeuppance that they are praying for Trump, yes Trump, to win the US GE. They see his many flaws and risks but believe/hope that his anti regime stance is the best hope of ending the monterous occupation of their homeland. It looks like Israel might be a quicker route to freedom and I can understand their desperation and hope. If Irans mullahs and their proxies fall, the region will be in a much better place.

If people are cheering for a Trump win, they are utter scum and deserve everything they get. It's as simple as that. They are never going to be the good guys. You lose that right when you cheer on someone who tried to overthrow democracy.

So you put people cheering Hamas or Hezbollah into that bracket too?

Where people are cheering Hamas yes.

In all honesty, Hezbollah are a lot more credible organisation than the likes of Trump and his ilk.

Like if your country is being invaded, do you have the right to resist? As has been said, people have a right to self defence, no?
 
Hezbollah is deeply implicated in global financing through extensive drug trafficking and money-laundering operations, particularly in Latin America. One of thier key financial strategies is their involvement in the cocaine trade. Since at least the mid-2000s, Hezbollah has established large scale cocaine trafficking networks, particularly in the Tri-Border Area (Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay). These networks have been identified as shipping ton loads of cocaine globally, generating billions in revenue for the group. This narco-terrorism hybrid allows them to simultaneously fund its activities and destabilise regions by supporting organised crime. Despite all the sanctions and investigations, Hezbollah’s illicit activities remains a cornerstone of its financial strategy.

They have been implicated in a variety of human rights abuses during its involvement in the Syrian Civil War, where the group supported the Assad regime. Reports found that Hezbollah fighters have been involved in atrocities against Syrian civilians, including acts of violence such as summary executions and torture, with allegations of rape and human/sex trafficking.

Is this is where you plant a credibility flag then you might need a rethink.



They are monsters and with the Iranian regime hold Lebanese, Syrians and Iranians captive.

You really don’t know a lot about Hezbollah do you?

The Syrian civil war, i.e the war where Isis scum, alongside Al Queda scum tried to overthrow the government to commit a genocide against the Shia population and the Kurdish population.

I can't understand why anyone not of Sunni background tried to resist that. They should have welcomed the Sunni terrorists.
 
Hezbollah being credible though.

Where did I say they were credible? I said their supporters are less vile than the Nazis who support Trump. This is just a fact.

I wouldn't describe them as credible.

I see you again tactically ignored the question about what you do, when you have those peace loving chaps from ISIS or the "moderate Muslims" we backed Al Nusra front (Al Queda) on your doorstep. You seem completely green to the practical realities of what these groups do. They want to cleanse the Shia population from the region.

It's fine for Zelensky and Neo-Nazis to like Azov Betalion to resist, but h aven forbid brown people resist. That gets treated completely different in your eyes.

Nope, sorry to say but your are trying to deflect away from your support of Hezbollah. If you don't want to offer them your support thats fine and sensible.

Brown people! Oh OK, thank you for presenting yourself. Best to leave it there.

Oh dear. Please go away and do some research. You’re floundering about like a beached fish.

Think you can replace the word Hezbollah with U.S.A
