Christians support Hezbollah

I asked Basheer what he felt about Hizbollah. Without a moment’s hesitation he said: “ Hizbollah is defending Lebanon. A large number of Christians, like myself, are its supporters.” His reply stunned me. Here we were in Hamra Street where a Christian nightclub manager was openly supporting Hizbollah’s resistance against Israel

Basheer’s words were corroborated by a survey published on July 29 in the Daily Star, Beirut’s only English language newspaper. The paper printed a survey conducted by the Beirut Centre for Research and Information which reveals that 86.9 per cent of Lebanese support Hizbollah’s resistance against Israel. Hizbollah’s actions have the support of 96.3 per cent of Shias, 79.5 per cent of Druze, 80.3 per cent of Christians and 88.9 per cent of Sunnis. On the question of Hizbollah capturing two Israeli soldiers, 96.3 per cent of Shias supported the move, while 40 per cent of Druze, 54 per cent Christians, and 73.1 per cent of Sunnis approved.

Look at how Christian and others support for Hezbollah has SKYROCKETED

If someone bombs your nation, chances are a large part of the population will support those who oppose the people bombing you.

It's common sense.

It's common sense.
Yet every govt and terror groups believe in the idea that if we attack the civilians, they will force the govt to stop their actions/get rid of their govt.
