Hezbollah would exist without Israel too mate, as Sunni extremism and the subjugation of Shia minorities is a very real concern.

It's clear for a lot of people on here, don't understand that basic premise. That there is a big theological divide between those factions of Islam.

'In 1982, Hezbollah was conceived by Muslim clerics and funded by Iran primarily to fight the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. The 1982 and the 1978 Israeli invasions had created a humanitarian crisis in Lebanon; many villages in the south had been destroyed and large numbers of Shias had been displaced from their homes.'

I a not 100% saying they wouldn't exist but it seems it is the reason for their inception.
 
….regardless of personal opinions of the situation, the people who report on these conflicts are amazing.

Just watching Deborah Haynes reporting for Sky from the Israeli/Lebanon border, explosions blasting in the background and then sirens in her vicinity meaning her and her crew had to run for shelter.

We can take 24/7 reporting for granted but the reporters in war zones work with genuine risk.

Sorry that should be, Hezbollah would continue to exist without Israel.

Putting aside any moral concerns, which are terrible obviously , I think Isreal will now bomb the crap out of Irans oil/gas production, ports, as well as having a go at their nuclear facilities. If they are ever going to rid themselves of this evil puppet master of terrorists now is the time. If they don’t they will suffer for many years to come. Religious leaders in Iran have very firm beliefs, unfortunately it all ends in innocent deaths………

wiping all of the religious extremist leaders in the area wouldn't be a bad idea. But unfortunately one is very protected and supported by the West

So the world will end with fanatics fighting over who believes in a non-existent sky fairy the best. They are all utterly insane.

As discussed the other day, they initially formed as to counter the armed Palestinian presence in Lebanon.
 

How did Hezbollah originate?​

Hezbollah emerged during Lebanon’s fifteen-year civil war, which broke out in 1975 when long-simmering discontent over the large, armed Palestinian presence in the country reached a boiling point. Various Lebanese sectarian communities held different positions on the nature of the Palestinian challenge.

Under a 1943 political agreement, political power is divided among Lebanon’s predominant religious groups—a Sunni Muslim serves as prime minister, a Maronite Christian as president, and a Shiite Muslim as the speaker of Parliament. Tensions between these groups evolved into civil war as several factors upset the delicate balance. The Sunni population had grown with the arrival of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, while Shiites felt increasingly marginalized by the ruling Christian minority. Amid the infighting, Israeli forces invaded southern Lebanon in 1978 and again in 1982 to expel Palestinian guerrilla fighters that used the region as their base to attack Israel

What is Hezbollah? What to know about its origins, structure and history

Military experience gained from fighting in Syria’s civil war and decades of clashes with Israel has strengthened the Iran-backed group, but politically, its clout among Lebanon’s populace may be waning.
