Good news from the Middle East. Hezbollah has made enormous gains in Lebanon’s recent election.
Lebanon’s Hezbollah paramilitary movement emerged Monday as the main victor in the country’s first election in almost a decade, securing veto power in the Lebanese parliament as the prime minister’s fortunes fell.
Interior Minister Nouhad Machnouk said Iran-backed Hezbollah and its parliamentary allies won more than a third of the 128 seats, which would leave them as a dominant force in the Lebanese legislature.
The party of Sunni Prime Minister Saad Hariri, meanwhile, lost at least five seats in Beirut, once considered a stronghold, although he was expected to retain his position. Machnouk said a final breakdown of the nationwide results will be released Tuesday.
Hezbollah is one of the primary forces fighting against Israel in the region. Not only have they been actively fighting them, they handed the Israeli military a humiliating defeat back in 2006.
The fact that they have gained more political power in the country is very bad news for the Jews. People everywhere are getting fed up with Israel and these evil kikes.
