"they are a defensive gueriella force...." is exactly correct. people need to avoid exaggerating the strength of Hezbollah and what it can achieve given its circumstances.
I only disagree on a few small points:
- no airforce and no intelligence gathering - they have a large inventory of UAVs + Iran can provide some intelligence via satellites
- inventory of missiles cannot be refreshed - they have local production sites + open supply lines from Syria/Iran

Most governments, not just those of the Islamic countries, invest where is better ROI. Even the Chinese are constantly buying real estate and whatnot in America/Canada/Europe despite decades old negative press given to the Chinese companies. Where else would a govt invest? Poor Latin America or Africa? Or China? Then please know that the Chinese are getting so good that so many things that even the German automakers are getting kicked out of the Chinese market. As for the 'funds freeze', when America froze Russia's assets after the Ukraine war, that was a very bad move and must have sent jitters down so many world govts. Essentially, like a true bully, the Americans disregarded the international norms, just like labeling the recently passed UNSC Resolution on Gaza as 'non binding'. Who can trust such an entity? But what else to do if there are lack of competitive alternatives: Capital doesn't like to sit idle and wants to make the quickest, biggest profit in the shortest safest timeframe.
Yes, more can be done. Agreed.
IF and WHEN the Islamic world acts as a block and boycotts Western products en masse then the West can't afford to lose the market.
Germans in particular and Europeans in general should be already cursing that they joined the American Neo Con's war against Russia. But as far as the 'colonial mental slavery', I am not sure: Unless there are good alternate ROI AND ease of doing business along with reasonable protection of investments, not just the GCC rulers but also others who curse the West, including in Latin America or Africa, will continue to invest in/via the Western systems or seek Western investments.
Finally, and this is a personal point of view: I don't consider the 'West' as all that evil or others without faults. We are in the Israel-Palestine conflict thread and the Zionist cabal in Washington is tainting the 'West'. The Muslim world's view of the 'West' was not always so negative. Indeed, there is a well known retort to 'Israel is America's only friend in the Middle East' BS and the retort is 'Until Israel, America had no enemies in the Middle East'.

I don't know why you try to undermine Hezbollah but the same military power in Lebanon liberated Lebanese soil from your mentioned strong Israeli military.
