    If the existence of good cops does not disprove that all cops are bastards, since policing as a concept is a corrupt institution and if they were really good cops, they would quit, how can we not say the same about social workers who align themselves with a terrorist organization?

      Israel does magnitudes more terrorism. Do you consider all the social workers in Israel in the same light?

      Equating a health care worker within Hezbollah to a ‘good cop’ within the Police Department doesn’t make much sense. Nor does it use any materialist analysis of the situation to understand the context of their existence.

      Hezbollah only exists because of Israel’s Settler Colonialism, deliberate targeting of civilians (Dahiya Doctrine), and Ethnic Cleansing. There is plenty about them I don’t agree with but that doesn’t change the fact that they are a resistance movement.
