The AFF plan removes EU aid to refugee camps in Lebanon that are serving migrants evacuated from the civil war in Syria. Their theory is that this aid is being diverted to support the terrorist group Hezbollah, which is a political party in the Lebanese government and is also classified as a terrorist organization. This NEG brief shows Hezbollah isn’t really a threat. Keep in mind that the politics of the Middle East are so complex that sometimes the US and Hezbollah and the Lebanese government have common enemies (e.g. ISIS). If EU aids Hezbollah while fighting ISIS, is that really a bad thing? In addition, Lebanon is on the brink of collapse right now. If we cut off aid, Lebanon will probably collapse.
