What do you know about the history of Hezbollah?

Question

Honestly. Everyone of you Liberals and Conservatives think you know exactly who is right and wrong. First person who gives me an objective summation of Hezbollah's history (remember - OBJECTIVE) will be the best answer and get the ten points.

ob·jec·tive Pronunciation Key (b-jktv) adj.

1. Uninfluenced by emotions or personal prejudices: an objective critic. See Synonyms at fair1.
2. Based on observable phenomena; presented factually: an objective appraisal.

Um, copying and pasting a report you found is not learning the history of Hezbollah. If we brought in a terrorist corpse, the cons would cheer and praise. That is what the 'other team' is supposed to do.

How about paying attention to the question...I'll kick start it for you.....

When was Hezbollah founded and why?

Take notice of Uncleneal's response. No history, just subjectively responding with what he finds in the Fox Files.

This is an attempt to get people to research what they talk about, not talk about what they THINK is happening.

Seeing Clearly, you are actually wrong. You haven't read a damn thing, just regurgitating what you were probably told by someone without validation.

Thank you for playing

Answer 1

Hezbollah, supported by Syria and Iran, has stated that Israel does not have the right to exist (also stated in Hamas' charter and in public speeches by Iran's current "president" who wasn't even elected).

That's all I need to know.
Fight Islamic fascism!

Answer 2

Hezbollah, or Hizbollah, were a group founding during the Israel invasion of Lebannon (i forget the years)

They are the only arab army to have ever effectively defeated the IDF, and this has been a big factor in their continued survival.

They used to be just a paramilitary army to fight an occupation, but with Syrian and Iranian funding, they have become a direct threat to Israel.

Hizbollah is also known to be incredibly cunning in its methods, often saving more powerful weapons for later in a campaign, to goad the IDF into doing something that will hurt them. For example, with the recent use of the new Hizbollah long range rocket, they have angered the Israels, leading them to push their invasion further. This will, in turn, further the worlds anger at Israel

Answer 3

The Hizbollah was formed in 1982 after the Israeli army invaded Lebanon. "Party of God" is what they believe to be. When Palastinians tried to assassinate the Israeli ambassador, the Israeli government decided to invade Lebanon. The Arabs had tortured the Jews long enough. The Hizbollah was formed during this seige and their mission is to eradicate any
non-muslim. Man, woman, or child. Its really scary to think that you are promoting the hizbollah. Let me ask you something. What do you know about the history of Israel and what the Arabs have done to the Jews in the last 200 years?? Tell me about TransJordan and how Lebanon came to be? How were the Jews affected and why?? What did Lebanon do during the Holocaust??

Answer 4

I don't care about the points.

Hezbollah is a descendant of the Muslim Brotherhood formed in Egypt in the late 1930s or sometime in the 1940s.

Their aim was and is, to return Islam to its fundamental values, those espoused by Mohammed. They joined mosques throughout the Arab countries, becoming the Aman or Iman whenever possible.

There is a lot more to their history. That is the basic part.

Answer 5

hezbollah is a political organization that has funded and supported the people of lebanon against the ISRAELI occupation of southern lebanon.
They have provided hospitals schools and farming assistance to help support the community.
THE methods of the militeristic hezbolla have used similiar tactics employed in the region by all parties in war.
They have reached several peace agrements only to have ISRAEL attempt financial and political world terror against the people of lebanon by calling for trade embargo's and seeking to do nothing but undermine the attempts for lebanon to grow economicly in the region.
SMALl border wars go on regularly and have resulted in a tit for tat mentality with the latest scurmish ending in all out war between ISRAEL and LEBANON .
this is as un bias as i can be and hope this answer is what you are looking for .
I MUST HOWEVER TELL YOU THAT I AM FOR AN END TO THE STATE OF israel THEY HAVE CAUSED NOTHING BUT TROUBLE IN THE REGION FOR 100 YEARS.

Answer 6

But "Haririgrad," as downtown Beirut is sometimes called, is hardly representative of the country. If you take a ten-minute drive to the city's southern suburbs, a series of dingy, overcrowded slums, you will see another country, where hejabs are more common than miniskirts, liquor is hard to find, and you're less likely to see posters of Prime Minister Hariri than of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the forty-four-year-old secretary-general of Hezbollah, the Party of God. A prominent Shiite cleric, shrewd militia leader, and political strategist, Nasrallah is admired throughout the Arab world for leading a campaign of resistance to Israel's occupation of southern Lebanon, which ended in May 2000, and for his successful dealings with the Israeli government. Most recently, after three years of on-and-off negotiations through a German mediator, Nasrallah persuaded Ariel Sharon to hand over 429 prisoners, as well as the bodies of fifty-nine Hezbollah fighters killed in combat, in exchange for freeing an Israeli businessman kidnapped by Hezbollah and returning the remains of three Israeli soldiers killed in Lebanon. The deal sparked a day of national celebration in Lebanon, and has been seen by some as a vindication of Hezbollah's use of violence for political leverage.
Hezbollah now has some 100,000 supporters, about half of whom are party members. When Nasrallah raises his voice, the Lebanese pay close attention to what he says, whether or not they like him. Bashar Assad, Syria's young leader and Hezbollah's other major sponsor, is said to revere him.[2] Although Nasrallah depends on Iranian arms and Syria's support for his military operations, he has achieved a significant degree of autonomy from both parties, which may complicate future efforts to disband it. Hezbollah, which adheres to the principle of wilayat al-faqih, or rule by the Islamic jurist, regards Iran's supreme leader, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as its ultimate leader, and maintains close ties to Iran's leadership, especially to the hard-line clerics who helped organize the party in the early 1980s.[3] It was Khamenei who reportedly influenced Hezbollah's decision to maintain its armed wing rather than devote all its energies to Lebanese politics after Israel's withdrawal from southern Lebanon in May 2000. But Hezbollah has long ceased to be an Iranian-controlled militia. (The last remaining Revolutionary Guards left the Bekaa Valley in 1998.) Although Hezbollah is believed to coordinate foreign policy matters with Iran's Revolutionary Guards, the Lebanese and Western experts I've talked to say it reaches most of its everyday decisions without consulting Iran. Moreover, they say, Khamenei has never overruled Nasrallah.

Syria's control of Hezbollah has also declined, and it is widely believed that Bashar Assad—a weak, inexperienced leader who has inherited his father's airs but not his authority—depends more on Nasrallah's "endorsement" than Nasrallah does on his support. For, in the eyes of many Arabs, Hezbollah has succeeded where Syria, which has long prided itself on being a redoubtable opponent of Israeli ambitions, has failed: in defeating Israel on the battlefield. Nasrallah is one of the most resourceful adversaries Israel has ever faced, and his successful guerrilla war against Israel in southern Lebanon has strongly impressed Palestinians and made him a hero in the Occupied Territories, particularly
