@safieddine00 Unfortunately not all see it this way and it's more black and white for them. Decades of propaganda and brainwashing meant that there was only one way to fight for Lebanon and that is through the virtue in"sacrifice for an obscure leader"

Hezbollah denies responsibility for all its accomplishments.

And claims victory for all its defeats.

تحيةً لسمير، مستمرّون في مقاومة المنع، في كسر الرقابة، وفي اعتناق غريزة الحرّية.
