Hezbollah is not a terrorist group. It's not even a case of 'one man's terrorist'. It quite simply is not a terrorist group, because it exists to repel an outside aggressor and fights against the (invading/occupying) IDF. If Israel was not in Lebanon, and did not attack Lebanon repeatedly, it would not be attacked by Hezbollah.
9/11? The Taliban?  Clearly a very credible page, even by Wikipedia standards. |
There are many sources out there that state that the Islamic Jihad movement has been heavily funded by Iran.

I don't know how many more times I have to repeat this but: he did not fucking say "Israel should be wiped off the map". Holy shit. Even the quote you posted had "Israel" inserted in brackets by someone else.

Can you show me some proof of this?

If you won't accept reality at this point, you never will.
Edit: what does that even mean anyway? "We just let him spout shit because... why?" Because why shouldn't he spout shit? Even if he genuinely was threatening another country, and he is not, how is that our business and why should it concern us? If he's not making serious and credible threats towards the US, then we should mind our own business.

Clearly we have different opinions of Iran. I am not endorsing an invasion of them. I am not saying we should wipe them off the planet. I am saying that we should be wary of them and it might be in our best interests to keep them from having nuclear weapons.
You, apparently, feel they are a sweet, innocent, misunderstood country who just want to get along with everyone and live peacefully ever after.
I don't just feel this way about Iran. I feel the same way about Iraq, Jordan, Syria, Yeman, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and pretty much any country that is run by religious zealots.
