    I know you are about to say some bullshit but sure why not, I'll bite

    I ask because Hezbollah denies the holocaust and makes it clear they hate Jews in general, not just Israel and Zionism, so I don't see how you can oppose genocide and support an organisation would gladly carry one out given the chance.

    Is it really that hard to oppose two sides in a conflict?

    If that's true then call them genocide supporters of you like. But I agree that this word terrorist needs to be retired. It's way too nebulous and used almost exclusively to whitewash violence by states.

    I don't care what Hezbollah believes and I don't have to. I am well aware of their flaws but I support them regardless because we cannot expect them to be perfect in their circumstances. The Algierians did not have perfect beliefs, the soviets didn't, the people of madagascar didn't, nor the Aztecs. I support all of them regardless. I do not expect perfection from people fighting for their right to exist and prosper. I even expect severe imperfection from them. This does not dissuade me. To expect that from them only serves imperialism. Are you honestly surprised so many Arabs deny the holocaust when the only jews so many of them have met were Israelis who use the Shoah as justification for colonialism? I probably wouldn't believe them either.

    This is so far from expecting perfection that your reply is funny. It's the lowest of bars. Only the barest shred of nuisance is required to understand that "enemy of my enemy" isn't a perfect guide.

    And here we see a civilized Westener once again setting the bar of morality for the Barbarians from the Orient, after, while and before he continues to rape them and their lands because of their racial inferiority, because they just won‘t obey and subordinate.
