since it's ok for america to arm israel,why cant iran arm Hezbollah without the world getting it's knickers in

Question

a twist?

Answer 1

As they said before: let's see,
Hezbollah did not kick out Lebanese, Israel did kick out Palestinians
Hezbollah does not kill children each and every day in Gaza, Israel does
Hezbollah did not kill 400 Lebanese, Israel did
Hezbollah did not have parts of Israel, Israel has parts of Lebanon and Syria
and if Hezbollah has 2 soldiers, Israel has hundreds of young men in their prisons who were not even in the army
Hezbollah hit the country that bombed them, Israel hit Lebanon which was not involved from the first place
who is the terrorist????????????

Answer 2

If Hezbollah was the government of the Lebanon, then there would be no problem. But sadly, they are a group, that ignores their own elected government, and as the IRA does in Ireland, Hezbollah also prey on the people of the Lebanon. The IRA were (and by many people still are) defined as terrorists. If Lebanon was supplied by arms by Iran, and it's army used those weapons, then there would not be a problem.

Answer 3

America supports terrorism ( ISRAEL),, and nobody supports Hezbollah and it just defends it's own country i think Iran should support Hezbollah ,, it needs some support so the whole war will be even ,, Israel is a terrorist country and it attacks other country's , it's kills civilians , kids ,, innocents ... nd yet the whole world supports it , Hezbollah needs some support

Answer 4

Israel is a country recognized by the UN and has the right to defend itself under the UN Charter.

HezBULLie is a political party and has no right to military weapons or to start a war.

I know it's too subtle for you to understand, but that's the difference.

That would be like Ross Perot attacking Mexico with rockets because of a giant sucking sound in his head.

Answer 5

Because Hezbollah deliberately targets civilians and engages in terror attacks. While Israel's actions are often unpopular and often mis-characterized as being similar to Hezbollah's, that is vapid rhetoric that ignores the clear differences between the conduct of an army and the conduct of terrorist murderers.

Moreover, Hezbollah is a problem because of its relation to the government of Lebanon, apart from its habit of launching rockets at civilian settlements in Israel. It is an armed militia, supported by foreign powers, that occupies (formerly occupied?) a part of Lebanon's territory and that refused to submit itself to the authority of the Lebanese government. International law prohibits providing arms, etc., to armed groups operating within another country's territory, unless very specific criteria are met. (And they are definitely not met by Hezbollah in Lebanon, in part for the reasons just mentioned.) Even if Hezbollah were not openly engaging in terrorist activities, its presence in Lebanon in defiance of Lebanon's elected government would still make it an outlaw organization, and Iran's support of it is a crime against Lebanese independence and a violation of international law.

By contrast, Israel is a sovereign nation with a democratically elected government. Nations are permitted to buy arms as they wish. Nations that have been periodically attacked by coalitions of their neighbors, as Israel has, certainly have a right to acquire arms and to use them in defense of their territory and citizens. Comparing Israel with Hezbollah, as you have done, is to forget all of the differences between them, which far outnumber their similarities. Similarly, our conduct in the region is not legally comparable to Iran's (and Syria's) support for groups like Hezbollah. Don't get caught up in superficial similarities or in empty rhetoric that falsely compares the conduct of Israel's elected government with the actions of terrorists.

Answer 6

Israel is a sovereign country sanctioned by the U.N.. Who's boarders were surveyed by the U.N. Hezbollah is a terrorist organization (not political party) independent from the Lebanese government. HUGE DIFFERENCE! We should fund opposition (terrorist) organizations inside Iran and see if they could see how this is wrong.

Answer 7

Are you saying you want the terrorists to be armed? I hope you don't want them to get the funding, etc necessary for them and other terrorist groups to fulfill their missions. Also, If you look back in history, let me know which country had a large part in the formation of Israel. We have a part in Israel's future.

It's sad that the people of the world are sympathizing with terrorists - and I don't mean Arabs and Muslims, I mean terrorists.

Answer 8

because some people in the world today give themselves the right to do anything while they forbid others to do it.. some people do judge things according to their own agenda and interests.. that's why.. it is unfair, very unfair to have a country like israel in the region supported by the US and has every right to do everything it wants and has nukes while all others around it can't have nukes and are not backed by anyone.. which makes israel a constant threat and makes it hated by alot of people there

Answer 9

Because we are the biggest and so we make the rules.

I remember before we invaded Iraq a congressman said that no one had the right to tell us what to do with our military. Of course, when others take that attitude we call them terrorists.

It's all very sad. I am a veteran of the army but am no longer proud of this country or my service.

Answer 10

Well.. let's see...

Isreal hasn't sworn to destroy another country, Hizbollah has.
Isreal is a souverign country, Hizbollah is a non govenment militia.
Isreal didn't run across their border into another country, kill people and then kidnap a couple to hold for ransom, Hizbollah did.
There isn't a UN resolution for Isreal to disarm, there is one for Hizbollah.
Isreal doesn't discriminately fire uncontrollable rockets into cilvian areas hoping to kill as many cilvians as possible, Hizbollah does.

The list goes on and on.
