It seems to display a lot of “tanks, drones, and rockets.”
I would have thought, in light of what the establishment media and the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) tell us, that it would have been full of pictures of people going to the gym and getting the kids to school on time. Surely the media and CAIR weren’t lying to us, were they?
“New Hezbollah museum puts spotlight on Syria intervention,” by Hanna Davis, The New Arab, September 28, 2023:
In-depth: The newly opened museum in Baalbek showcases Hezbollah’s military intervention in Syria. Analysts say it is part of a strategy to define the group’s role in the region and influence its domestic image among supporters.
Tourists arrive in hordes each year to Lebanon’s city of Baalbek, eager to see its ancient Roman temples.
But today, another attraction is drawing in hundreds more – an extensive display of Hezbollah tanks, drones, and rockets, part of the militant group’s newly-opened ‘Jihad’ Museum.
As the road to the museum winds up from the well-known Temple of Bacchus, the yellow and green flag of Hezbollah crops up at every turn. Eventually, the road reaches the hill’s summit and the museum comes into view, marking the same place where the group carried out its first military exercises in 1982.
Visitors can then proceed down a canon-lined [sic] promenade to an arsenal of nearly 100 weapons, a collection the group acquired during Israel’s occupation of Lebanon and through its military involvement in Syria, and some even manufactured in Lebanon.
“An extensive display of Hezbollah tanks, drones, and rockets form part of the militant group’s newly-opened ‘Jihad’ Museum in Baalbek”
With an estimated stockpile of 130,000 rockets and missiles, and some 20,000 active fighters and 20,000 reserves, the Iran-backed Shia group has risen to become the world’s most heavily armed non-state actor.The weapons have elicited controversy among Hezbollah’s adversaries, the party the only faction allowed to keep them after the end of the country’s 1975-1990 civil war….

Very interesting . The Muslims of Hezbollah have have now erected a Jihad Museum. To glorify the violent and murderous jihad which the Qu ‘ran instructs in, Surah 2:191, 5;33. 47:4.
In contrast, in Washington DC . ,some time earlier, yet still in this century, Christians had gathered their money together and had a Bible Museum . To glorify the teachings of Jesus , Who taught mercy and peace, Matthew 5:7,8.
Wow ! What an outstanding difference between that Muslim museum and the Christian museum..
Of course Jesus in His Wisdom did teach “By their fruits you will recognize them.” Matthew 7:20. [N.K.J.V.]

But, but they keep on telling me that Islam is a ” Religion of Peace ”
Do you think that they have got it wrong? Or are they lying to me?
Well this Museum just proved the point.

Tell that to pope Francis and baby George Bush.

That Jihad Museum the Hezbollah had constructed and just opened in Lebanon is a very strong reminder that ,sadly many American’s still don’t understand the violent and deadly essence of Islam have assumed view that “Radical Islamic Terrorism” to be a “warped” or “hijacked” form of Islam. Yet the terrible harsh reality is that the actual religion of Islam is the entire foundation of Islamic terrorism or otherwise accurately, but seldom called what is really is, which is “Muslim terrorism.”
For Islam’s “holy book” the Qur ‘an [the Koran] instructs on the use of violence and killing for the advancement of Islam.
As found in ,for example 2:191. 4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4. Furthermore, it may be illustrated that if Islam is represented as a tree then the fruits then the fruits of that tree are the many brutal, violent and deadly jihad terror entities. Such as Hezbollah , Hamas, Islamic Jihad, ISIS, Al Qaeda and so forth .
With this statement, the Wisdom of the teachings of Jesus may, very much, apply to this subject. For Jesus taught, “You do know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bears forth good fruit; but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.” After saying, this Jesus told them what He told them when He said “By their fruit you will know them.” Matthew 7:16, 17, 18,.20. [N.K.J.V.]
In conclusion, Islam is a corrupt tree and also a false religion, Proverbs 14:12. John 14:6. First John 2:22,23. 4:14,15. 5:12,13,20.

Hizbollah want to destroy Israel,a land that their god allah in his koran says the Jews should live in..
“Children of Israel..dwell in the Land”
koran 17:104
That land is the Holy Land of Israel,..
“o my people!Go into the holy land that allah hath ordained for you”
koran 5:21
Those ‘people’ can only be the Jews:but of course islamic ‘scholars’ will claim they were muslims{just as in islam,the israelites were muslims and “Abraham was not a Jew”.and Moses was a muslim too}
So allah is OK with the Jews dwelling in the Holy Land of Israel.So what sense does it make for Hizbollah to destroy the land which allah says belongs to the Jews?None
Logic and islam;separated at birth
