Now the terrorist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham rules over the ashes, since all the original people fighting for change are long dead.

Hosni Mubarak wasn't overthrown because of protesters in Tahrir Square - he was overthrown because General Sisi decided to ignore shoot-on-sight orders.

Obama was criticised for backing stability as the drama of Tahrir Square unfolded.

Syria was embroiled and toppled by Islamic Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham backed by Turkey.

Unfortunately, Hezbollah was, up until 2024, waging a largely PR-based war on Israel (their "puppet" adversary; their true adversary was Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham in Syria, where they spilled more blood and lost more men and materiel than in every conflict they've had with Israel over the last 20 years), and people have --- for understandable reasons --- antipathy towards Israeli leadership.
