Is Hezbollah commiting a genocide?

Ok, so forgive my crassness, but to my eye, when you say something like that, your viewpoint seems to be analogous to saying "Nazi Germany was wrong for attacking France, but Poland had it coming". I disagree with you, obviously, but I'd like to know why, since we both have access to the same historical facts.

There's more details as to why I disagree with you, but it roughly boils down to: Israel has been committing atrocities since 1948 (and before), it is a colonial project, colonialism is as bad as slavery, Israel invaded Lebanon first in the 80s, killed 3500 Palestinian refugees in two nights there, and kept attacking untill well into the 2000s. In 2024, Israel struck Lebanon first. Is there any part there you disagree with? Because I find it hard to simultaneously believe all that, and that Israel is in the right for invading Lebanon.

Why Poland had it coming? This is not a good example at all.

Can we just agree with the fact that Israel is shit (being a genocidal ethnocracy) and they use the response from shitty regimes to be justify being even shittier? They are both bad, arguably Israel is badder.

What has Poland done? What has Ukraine done? None of them violated the international rule of law at the time.

Russia is super bad, Israel is super bad. Those that support Russia (Iran) and Israel (US) are bad.
