The Pro-Hamas Crowd Has Found a New Terrorist Group to Support

It appears the pro-Hamas crowd staging protests at universities across the country is also supporting another radical Islamic terrorist group: Hezbollah.

During an anti-Israel demonstration at Princeton University on Thursday, protesters were seen brandishing Hezbollah flags as they called on the school to cut ties with Israel. Images of the protesters holding the flags were widely disseminated on social media.

Several users on X responded to the images, calling out the protesters for supporting a terrorist group that has murdered Americans and carried out attacks against Jewish people across the globe.

Hezbollah is an Iranian-backed terrorist organization based in Lebanon that was formed in the 1980s. It has consistently warred against Israel and has targeted Jews in various countries.

In 1983, Hezbollah carried out a deadly bombing at a Marine barracks in Beirut. The attack killed 299 people. In the same year, the organization conducted an attack on the U.S. embassy in the same city, taking 63 lives. These atrocities were not mere military strikes — this was the organization’s way of announcing its arrival on the world stage.

Hezbollah targeted a Jewish community building in Argentina in 1994, which highlighted the organization’s worldwide reach and operational capabilities. The terrorists killed 85 people. These are only a few of the many terrorist attacks the organization has carried out since its founding. But the group does not only conduct attacks such as these; it has also fought a full-on war with Israel.

If the anti-Israel crowd is now supporting Hezbollah, there can be no doubt about its true intentions. While it purports to support the Palestinians, the leaders of these protests rarely have an unkind word to say about Hamas, which has oppressed the Palestinians for decades.

At this point, it is becoming increasingly obvious that these people are not motivated by a desire to help the Palestinians but a desire to eliminate Israel as a Jewish state.
