    Why are you so sure these people didn’t support Hezbollah before?

    I understood the point you were trying to make, hence my reply.
    All those things are examples for how Hezbollah hasn’t protected Lebanon, but quite the opposite.
    Without Hezbollah, Lebanon could’ve been in a much better place now.

      That’s the whole premise of the article you posted? I feel like I’m not getting your point.

        Those people came from other areas to chant in support of Hezbollah in areas where there’s no support for Hezbollah.

          The article you linked doesn’t confirm what you’re saying to be true but neither does it say you’re wrong. It simply labels these people as “Hezbollah supporters” without specifying if they’re locals or not. You could be right in that sense. I just understood it differently than you.
