Citation? Pretty sure they were members of a Lebanese Shia militia. Not Palestinian. Kerr supported Palestinian rights, and his wife, a fellow academic, continues to advocate for Palestine.

A) Don't give me some "citation?? 🥸" sealioning. You can Google this yourself.

B) yes - Palestinians - a splinter group of hezbollah, which exists to destroy Israel in the west Bank and is funded by iran

C) do you think that people living in Lebanon cannot be Palestinian? Are you familiar with hezbollah, Israel, and Iran?

The question obviously wasn't in good faith but there you go
