    The irony is that hezbollah formed as a result of Israel invading Lebanon in 1982.

        Which was because Israel attacked, which was because the arab countries attacked, which was because Britain decided to put Israel in Palestine.

        So basically all parties should attack Britain

            It’s the one country with most remaining colonial influence. Look up the British Commonwealth.

              I am well aware of that institution, more than you are it seems.

              You really consider India to be a colony of the United Kingdom?

                Not really as it has its own republic. Like all countries in pink

                However it’s influence is still huge. If their monarch is in your money out their flag is in yours there is s bit more to it than a decolonised entity.

        My point is the last time they tried to invade everyone to get rid of the terrorists, they just created more terrorists in more areas.
