Answer 2

Hezbollah is an Arab Shiite group with more machine guns than party members.
They are a group of puppets for the Iranian regime of terrorists a la Khomeini.
They consider the USA to be the Great Satan, and Israel the Little Satan.
And they have volunteered the lives of the Lebanese civilians to the cause of wiping out both Satans.

Answer 3

"Hezbollah[1] (Arabic: حزب الله‎, meaning Party of God) is a Lebanese Islamist guerilla group and political party, with a military arm and a civilian arm, founded in 1982 to fight the Israeli Occupation Forces who occupied southern Lebanon until the year 2000.

Hezbollah was "inspired by the success of the Iranian Revolution"[2] and was formed primarily to combat Israeli occupation following the 1982 Lebanon War.[3] Hezbollah follows the distinct Shia Islamic ideology developed by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran.[4]

Along with the Amal movement, Hezbollah is the main political party and military organization representing the Shia community, Lebanon's largest religious bloc.[5] and it is a recognized political party in Lebanon, where it has participated in government.[6] The civilian wing participates in the Parliament of Lebanon, taking 18% of the seats (23 out of 128) and the bloc it forms with others, the Resistance and Development Bloc, 27.3% (see Lebanese general election, 2005). It is a minority partner in the current Cabinet. [citation needed]

Hezbollah not only has armed and political wings but also boasts an extensive social development programme. The civilian wing also runs hospitals, news services, and educational facilities. Its Reconstruction Campaign (Jihad al-Bina) is responsible for numerous economic and infrastructural development projects in Lebanon.[7][8] The group currently operates at least four hospitals, 12 clinics, 12 schools and two agricultural centres that provide farmers with technical assistance and training. It also has an environmental department and an extensive social assistance programme. Medical care is also cheaper than in most of the country's private hospitals and free for Hezbollah members.[9] Most experts believe that Hezbollah's social and health programmes are worth hundreds of millions of dollars annually.[9] Hezbollah mainly gets its money from donations. It is no secret that Hezbollah receives financial help from Iran, but not from Syria.[9]

Throughout most of the Arab and Muslim worlds, Hezbollah is highly regarded as a legitimate resistance movement.[10] The Lebanese government confirmed it as a legitimate resistance against occupation.[11][12] Even 74 percent of Lebanese Christians viewed Hezbollah as a resistance organization.[13]

Because that the organization initiates attacks against civilians and ideologically supports such attacks by other organizations, the United States, Britain and Israel consider Hezbollah a terrorist organization.

The European Union does not list Hezbollah as a "terrorist organization",[14] but does list Imad Mugniyah,[15]

In a non-binding resolution adopted by the European Parliament on 10 March 2005, the MEPs urged the EU Council to brand Hezbollah a terrorist organization. However, the Council has so far been reluctant to do so, as France, Spain, and Britain fear that such a move would further damage the prospects for Middle East peace talks.[16]

European legislators branded the radical Lebanese Hezbollah group a terrorist organization and urged EU governments to place the group on their terrorist blacklists, as the bloc did with the Palestinian Hamas group in 2003.[17]

“EU Parliament considers that clear evidence exists of terrorist activities by Hezbollah. The EU Council should take all necessary steps to curtail them," legislators said in a non-binding resolution adopted during a session in Strasburg, France."

Extract from Al Gezeera's website:
"Hezbollah (meaning Party of God) is a political and military party in Lebanon founded in 1982 to fight the Israeli occupation in southern Lebanon. It is regarded by many in the Arab and Muslim world as a legitimate militant Shia political party in Lebanon . In addition to its military wing, Hezbollah maintains a civilian arm, which runs hospitals, various news services, and educational facilities".
"Hezbollah has denounced some acts of terror, like the September 11 attacks and the murder of Nick Berg".
