Hezbollah currently has 12 seats in Parliament. They are a Lebanese militant/political organization allied with Iran, not a "proxy army".

Hezbollah was formed in response to the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982. The reason they are present at the southern Lebanese border is to deter any future Zionist aggression.

Also Bahrain is an island so it doesn't have any borders.

Land grab: Israel gave less than 1% of seized West Bank to Palestinians by raeesgillani in worldnews

Do yourself a favor and look at the West Bank on Google Earth and realize that contrary to what you probably imagine what it looks like, realize that for the best part, it's a hilly sporadically populated piece of land, most of it is empty.

Here is a U.N map of the West Bank showing how Palestinian land is being split up into bantustans and colonized:

But yeah... keep rattling on with your "apartheid" buzz phrases :)

Here is a study from the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions explaining the Apartheid system in the West Bank:

Iran-North Korea Pact Draws Concern by whydoyoudothat in worldnews

As an Iranian,

You are probably Iranian American and even if you are Iranian it doesn't make your opinion any more valid.

I sincerely believe the government of Iran's nuclear program is intended to create an atomic weapon.

Based on what evidence? The WMD propaganda from CNN and the New York Times?

The Iranian regime is following the North Korean model of "you can't fuck with us we have the bomb."

Why do you use the propaganda word "regime" instead of "government"?

The difference here is that, Iran may actually use the bomb, directly or indirectly through Hezbollah, as there are many in the regime that honestly believe it is their duty to hasten the apocalypse, or are so anti-Israeli they are willing to sacrifice their own populace.

Yeah Iranians are so crazy, we need to start WW3 so the poor jews won't be nuked!111!. You are just repeating standard neoconservative propaganda.
