Steve,
I apologise for misremembering your assertion.
You did not say they were loved.
Sorry.


I made factual statements about the status of Hezbollah

No. You made unsupported assertions.
You claimed that "millions of people in Lebanon and Gaza approve of Hamas and Hezbollah, not just for resisting Israel but also because they help to run the country, rather well in the case of Lebanon."

How do you know this?
What happens to anyone who criticises them?
There is no freedom of speech and no free press.
Lebanese Shia most certainly do not approve of Hezbollah or what they do in Lebanon.

and have never, ever stated that I support them,

No, but the above assertions were supportive of them.
