The US foreign policy perspective: Netanyahu bad, Hamas bad, Hezbollah bad, Iran bad....
What should we do? Obviously, we go after Iran and its proxies: Hezbollah and Hamas......Why?
Payback for the Iranian hostage crisis of 1979, and the October 1983 bombing of the USMC barracks in Beirut.
"A group called Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the (USMC barracks) bombings and said that the aim was to force the MNF out of Lebanon.....Some analysis highlights the role of Hezbollah and Iran, calling it "an Iranian operation from top to bottom". There is no consensus on whether Hezbollah existed at the time of bombing."
