The occupation of south Lebanon occurred during the term of multiple Israeli administrations, from Shimon Peres to Yitzhak Shamir to Yitzhak Rabin to Benjamin Netanyahu to Ehud Barak. This is good to keep in mind to understand why anyone who lived through this has no reason to believe there is any difference between the main Israeli parties.

The actual Lebanese army, in case that thought crossed your mind, does not have the capacity to fight Israel, and it is a barely kept open-secret that Hezbollah is stronger than them, despite the latter having the USA as its main funder (add that to the long list of US victories in the Middle East).

Any accusations of Hezbollah being a terrorist organization that doesn't include a thorough denunciation of the only nuclear-armed US-backed state in this 'conflict' that deploys terrorism as a routine practice is not just meaningless but, at best, reckless and, at worst, complicit in Israel's crimes against humanity. Anyone who ignores these facts are not weakening Hezbollah, but simply reveal that the terrorism accusation is meaningless - letting Hezbollah off the hook in the process, ironically.
