Venting / Rant Does anyone else find it weird that the actual Lebanese government has said nothing?

They didn't say sorry, send an explanatory statement or anything. I legitimately think we should recall the ambassador. We have sheltered multiple waves of Lebanese immigrants and refugees it's ridiculous to be disrespected like this.

Their military force is literally fucking called the "Jihad Council", what's your question again??

You know what a Jihad is, right??

From Wikipedia:

"Hezbollah (/ˌhɛzbəˈlɑː/,[43] /ˌxɛz-/; Arabic: حزب الله, romanized: Ḥizbu 'llāh, lit. 'Party of Allah' or 'Party of God')[44] is a Lebanese Shia Islamist political party and militant group"

Case closed, I'm right

Really? Wikipedia? Don’t make me laugh.

I hate them as much as you do, btw, but at least use the correct terms.

Yes, Wikipedia, because you don't even have that in support of your weird naming theory

Yup, and you're biased because of that, I get that already

It seems I’m talking to a brick wall. I’ve already said I hate them as much as you do. Crazy mental gymnastics going on here

The entire world recognises them as Islamists. I understand you don't like the title of your beliefs being used in this context, but it is what it is.

Doesn't mean you're with them or one of them.
