    fundamentally they are guys in a militia fighting against foreign invaders and threats to their country

    Why do you think this?

      Probably because Hezbollah maintains that Israel is still occupying Lebanon.

      And they’re right about that.

            Yea. The UN confirmed most of the occupied lebanese territories from the six day war were returned. Yes, I know some areas of Sheeba Farms are still contested.

            I’m curious, if all the Sheeba Farm territories were completely returned tomorrow do you think Hezbollah would retire?

              I honestly don’t know. It would certainly remove their last legitimate leg to stand on. I think at best you’d get a RIRA situation where most of the organization stood back and a small group kept going.
