    That is the only way to read your post. You’re holding a London-based editorial article as “proof” that a different organization wasn’t doing what they were literally doing. Hezbollah honored the ceasefire for a month while Beirut was being bombed every single day, but your editorial article makes it okay.

        The editorial board of newspapers often provide commentary that isn’t strictly news, but rather the opinion of the staff or other contributors. They use that space to explain the context of the news cycle as they see it. It’s okay that it’s subjective because it is not presented as news.

        The article that you linked is written by a regular contributor to MEE, who notably is not a member of the staff or editorial board. But even if he was, it’s still an independent news outlet and not the voice of Hezbollah. And even if it was Hezbollah’s media wing, them just saying something probably could not excuse a genocide, you know.
