While Greece and France rushed to send warships to protect the bases on the island, Britain is waiting for its battleship which is slowly making its way. According to the article, Britain’s only luck is that Israel does the dirty work for her.
Simons reminds his readers that Hezbollah was never just an Israeli problem. Over the years, the organization and its affiliates have directly harmed British civilians and soldiers. In the 1980s, British journalists and humanitarian activists were kidnapped and held captive in Lebanon for years. During the war in Iraq, British soldiers were attacked by Iranian-backed militias.
Moreover, in 2019, thanks to a warning by the Israeli Mossad, British security forces uncovered a Hezbollah bomb-making plant in North London, which contained three tons of ammonium nitrate. This is an international criminal organization that finances its activities through drug smuggling and money laundering.
