Yeah, it's symmetrical as saying that "Both Nazis and Jews wanted to kill each other". But Israel wants to destroy Hezbollah (not Lebanon) precisely because Hezbollah wants to destroy Israel, while Hezbollah wants to destroy Israel because it exists.

Sorry, I can't take you seriously when you equate a clearly defined military-political organization ("Hezbollah") with a broad ethnoreligious group ("Jews"). That's totally absurd and borders on Holocaust denial.

This is the first time ever someone blames me for Holocaust denial [0], but I'll give you another example then. If someone breaks into your house and tries to kill you, you might want to kill them too, but it's a little funny to say that there's symmetry there because "both want to kill each other!".

[0] to remove any doubt, I am not. I'm not sure how you got there, but I would insane to deny an event the took the lives of many from my family.

Remind me, between Lebanon or Hezbollah and Israel, which entity is currently occupying significant territories outside its UN-mandated borders?

Lol shh, that much context isn't part of the narrative.
