So you "respect" them for their avowed goal of killing as many Israeli civilians as possible, and "fighting for their country" via making runs into Israel and killing/kidnapping anyone they can? Whereas the evil Jews are to be condemned for trying to wipe out those doing the murdering with as few innocent casualties as possible and for daring to respond to missile attacks and repeated small-scale invasions by Hezbollah.
Nice.
Israel isn't in Lebanon anymore - they haven't been for nearly a decade aside from the month-long 'war' Hezbollah decided to start a couple of years ago.
Yet somehow they maintained their goal of "fighting for their country" by trying to commit genocide and repeatedly making small scale invasions and attacks on the Money-Lenders. The Israelis finally responded in 2006 and fought an Evil Imperialist War in order to try to stop these attacks - a war which lasted a whole 33 days. The horrible tragedy is that people on both sides died for absolutely no reason except the madcap decision by Hezbollah to start shooting rockets into another sovereign nation and then being shocked (shocked!) to discover that when you repeatedly attack a country it might well respond.
If your goal is to "fight for your country", then a good way to do that would be to not attack and invade your neighbors. And yet there they were trying to murder Israelis half a decade after the withdrawal.
Would you "respect" the French Resistance from WWII if they were conducting random missile attacks at schools and blowing up pizza shops in Berlin circa 1954 for the sake of "fighting for their country"?
You're also staggeringly ignorant on why Hezbollah was founded and what they originally wanted to do. Before they vowed to wipe out the Evil Name-Changers, they were an Iranian-funded group who fought in the civil war for the sake of turning the country into a Shia state. They were an attempt by a foreign power to seize control of Lebanon for their own ends. They were an imperialist fifth column within Lebanon - fighting more to secure political power for the Iranians than for the Lebanese within their ranks.
They were controlled by the Iranians, making them as much of invaders as the Baby's-Blood crowd. When you say "fighting for their country" I take it you mean Iran then.
Fighting for their country indeed.
