    I don’t say Israel or the USA are acting well in this context. I’m just pointing out Iran and their puppets Hezbollah are pretty terrible.

      At this point, frankly, they get to. That’s what happens when you put your opponent on death ground. Israel has been blowing up villages in southern Lebanon, and have made known their genocidal aspirations for it, which are to be treated as credible based on their actions in Gaza. They put the Lebanese Shias on death ground. Now they have to pay the price of that mistake.
