Your statement is akin to saying the Allies in WW2 were no heroes. In fact they were also the bad guys because they were racist and homophobic. Thus WW2 was a “complex and nuanced” issue.
WW2 was complex but I wouldn’t use the word nuanced. Most people can agree morality in WW2 can be fully reduced to Nazis bad
Whenever someone calls Hitler bad and Allies good it’s not a great look if someone shows up saying “well actually the Allies bombed Dresden too, it was actually all pretty nuanced”.
Your idiotic comment: “You’re saying everyone who has ever fought anyone is evil and there’s no good guys anywhere!”
I’m confident that when you review what was said you’ll see just how fucking stupid your reply is. I’ve seen you say intelligent stuff before, drink your coffee!

The WWII equivalent of what they said is “Churchill was a hero of humanity”. I would absolutely disagree with that statement.
Churchill was a monster, just less of one than Hitler.
If Churchill was killed during WW2 while fighting Hitler everyone would be calling him a hero.
OP didn’t even mention Nasrallahs actual war crimes which were backing Assad during the Syrian civil war. Just the generic pinkwashing.
These people wouldn’t: https://yourstory.com/2014/08/bengal-famine-genocide
Churchill had his own genocide with a body count comparable to the Holocaust.
