They said something so now I have to bomb schools? I'm sorry if that's what you read in my post

    That is the only way to read your post. You're holding a London-based editorial article as "proof" that a different organization wasn't doing what they were literally doing. Hezbollah honored the ceasefire for a month while Beirut was being bombed every single day, but your editorial article makes it okay.

    What do you mean by 'editorial article'?

    The editorial board of newspapers often provide commentary that isn't strictly news, but rather the opinion of the staff or other contributors. They use that space to explain the context of the news cycle as they see it. It's okay that it's subjective because it is not presented as news.

    The article that you linked is written by a regular contributor to MEE, who notably is not a member of the staff or editorial board. But even if he was, it's still an independent news outlet and not the voice of Hezbollah. And even if it was Hezbollah's media wing, them just saying something probably could not excuse a genocide, you know.

    Why would you call it an editorial article if it's not an opinion piece written by the editors?

    First of all, you're the one linking this article and claiming it as evidence. This is an editorial at best, or an opinion piece. You decide.

    I'm giving you credit by granting it the status of an editorial article, on account of the writer being a regular contributor and supposedly close to the editors. If you want to downgrade your own evidence, that's fine by me.

    How could it ever be an editorial if it's not written by an editor?

    Are you being purposefully obtuse or are you really as witless as you come across?

    Lol, I'm not the one claiming that an article is an editorial, despite being written by someone who notably is not a member of the staff or editorial board and that instead of journalists we should be listening to the media wing of the belligerent parties to know what's really going on

    But of course you're welcome to explain to me how that works
