Lebanese journalist Tony Abi Najem slammed Hezbollah and its active military conflict with Israel in a December 20, 2023 show on Lebanon On (YouTube), saying it has no authority to open a front with Israel in south Lebanon.
He said that Hezbollah are experts in destruction and that it is the Lebanese taxpayers who must pay to cover the damage done in south Lebanon, which is detrimental to Lebanon’s economy.
Abi Najem said that he has no duty to be in solidarity with Hezbollah, which gets the country into “one catastrophe after another.”
He continued to say that Hezbollah operatives who were killed in battle with Israel are not martyrs, “they are fighters who followed non-Lebanese orders […] what is it to us?”
