Semantics. My question still stands. Those criticizing Hezbollah, where’s the Lebanese army? If y’all don’t want Hezbollah to defend Lebanon, then why isn’t the Lebanese army doing it? Why didn’t the Lebanese army shoot down all those Israeli missiles? Why is there no response from the Lebanese army after days and days of Israeli attacks?

Lebanon has an Air Force of their own, don’t they? Shoot down the missiles or shoot down the Israeli jets. Doesn’t Lebanon have a right to defend itself?

Are you kidding? Lebanon has 5 (!) brasilian WW2 style fighters with propellers and cannons... surely they can stand up against F35...  Also it lacks air defence systems capable of dealing with gliding bombs or advanced jet fighters.
