Over 90% of criminal cases in the US end in a guilty plea bargain. She could have plead guilty to avoid the possible ten years in prison, not because she actual is an official agent of the Chinese government. A mayor of a city like Arcadia can’t necessarily afford good enough lawyers to avoid charges.
Who is crying foul? The people of Lebanon support Hezbollah, their government undermines their legitimate defense in the interest of catering to foreign powers and protecting themselves. The Zionists have attacked Lebanon for decades and have made it no secret they intend to annex parts of southern Lebanon. Hezbollah has proven capable of resisting the Zionist invasion attempting to take their lands, would you rather they sit on their weapons and do nothing while they watch innocent people be slaughtered by the thousands?
People talk about what they would do if they were alive when the Nazis were commiting their genocide, should we not encourage every group like Hezbollah to fight with all they can to stop these atrocities that we can all clearly see?
The war didn’t start when Hamas attacked, thousands had been killed and imprisoned up to this point. And even if it did start then, Hamas has a right to defend the sovereignty of Palestine, and Hezbollah has a right to assist in the fight against an active genocide on their borders.
Why? Because she reported actual facts about a rival of the US?
