Hezbullah is a social, political, educational, medical and military organization based primarily among the Shi’a of Lebanon. In addition, Hezbullah also includes many Sunni and even Christians who ally themselves with Hezbullah because of the good this organization does in Lebanon. Many of the doctors who work in their centers, as well as teachers in their schools are Christian and Druze.
As the Christian President of Lebanon, Emile Lahoud said of Hezbullah, when it was under attack by President Bush, “Hezbollah is an integral part of the Lebanese government, it is also part of our military, it part of our social order.” This was echoed by the late, beloved, Prime Minister, Rafiq Al-Harriri.
This is the truth about Hezbullah; not what Bush and his Zionist cronies, and the uneducated Conde Rice has to say about the organization.
Let us look at what Hezbullah has done in Lebanon: it has set up over 50 hospitals; it has set up over 100 schools (secular schools primarily) and many libraries; it has participated in the governing of Lebanon in the parliament and in the life of the country; it has driven the Israelis out of southern Lebanon and kept them out—to this day, it is the force that stands guard against another Israeli invasion of Lebanon. Many of us who witnessed that, and Robert Fisk, the esteemed, award-winning columnist for the Independent of the United Kingdom will back me up on this, saw the Hezbullah fighters armed with small weapons, mines, bazookas and human bombs chase the Israeli tanks, Bradley fighting vehicles, armored cars and troops out of Lebanon.Even with planes and helicopters, the Israelis could not sustain themselves in Lebanon; they were defeated by the Hezbullah.
Thus, at this point, Israel is the biggest campaigner to have Hezbullah labeled a “terrorist organization” by the world—but all that Hezbullah did was to kick the Israelis out of Lebanese land—to kick the occupying Israeli IDF off of Lebanese soil This was defensive action; not offensive action. Hezbullah has never invaded Israel, nor has Hezbullah ever attacked Americans—though the U.S. media said it has—but this is nothing but lies. True, some of the Shi’a did fight back, as Amal, against the Americans when the American troops were siding with the Falangist Gemeyal family in attacking the Muslims, especially the Shi’a—but it was not then Hezbullah and every honest historian knows this. But there is no end to lies that the Zionists will go to because of their shame at being beaten by Hezbullah.
So why is Hezbullah labeled as a “terrorist organization”—it’s pure and simple, because it is a strong nationalist Lebanese force that refuses to bow to Israel or America or the Falangists.
Remember in America the patriots who fought against the British; Hezbullah is like those American patriots—just fighting for their land, their country. As an American, I am all for that. Any decent, educated and moral human being is for that.
We must call those who label as liars those who call Hezbullah a “terrorist organization” because they have no facts to back up their assertions. That Hezbullah defeated the Israelis is a fact, that the Israelis were an illegal occupying force in southern Lebanon (the area of the Shi’a) is a fact, that Hezbullah is now part of the Lebanese defense forces is a fact, that Hezbullah ever attacked American troops is an out and out lie.
It is time the world, especially the American people, knew the truth about Hezbullah and its charitable work, its social work, its medical work, its educational work and its standing in the hearts of most Lebanese and its standing in the Lebanese government. The lies of President Bush and his mistress of state, Conde Rice, must be undone. Tell your friends the truth; perhaps in that way, the truth will prevail over the propaganda Bush and Rice are putting out in the world.

Hezbollah is a Lebanese umbrella organization of radical Islamic Shiite groups and organizations. It opposes the West, seeks to create a Muslim fundamentalist state modeled on Iran, and is a bitter foe of Israel. Hezbollah, whose name means “party of God,” is a terrorist group believed responsible for nearly 200 attacks since 1982 that have killed more than 800 people, according to the Terrorism Knowledge Base. Experts say Hezbollah is also a significant force in Lebanon’s politics and a major provider of social services, operating schools, hospitals, and agricultural services, for thousands of Lebanese Shiites. It also operates the al-Manar satellite television channel and broadcast station.
It was founded in 1982 in response to the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, and subsumed members of the 1980s coalition of groups known as Islamic Jihad. It has close links to Iran and Syria.
Sheikh Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah is considered the group’s spiritual leader. Imad Fayez Mugniyah is the key planner of its worldwide terrorist operations. During the Lebanese civil war in the 1970s, experts say Mugniyah trained with al-Fatah. When the Palestine Liberation Organization and al-Fatah were expelled from Lebanon by Israeli forces in 1982, Mugniyah joined the newly formed Hezbollah and quickly rose to a senior position in the organization. Hassan Nasrallah is Hezbollah’s senior political leader. Nasrallah was originally a military commander, but his military and religious credentials—he studied in centers of Shiite theology in Iran and Iraq—quickly elevated him to leadership within the group. Experts say he took advantage of rivalries within Hezbollah and the favor of the head of Iran’s theocratic government, Ayatollah Khomeini, to become the group’s secretary general in 1992.
Its base is in Lebanon’s Shiite-dominated areas, including parts of Beirut, southern Lebanon, and the Bekaa Valley. In addition, its cells operate in Europe, Africa, South America, and North America. Despite Israel’s 2000 withdrawal from Lebanon, Hezbollah continues to periodically shell Israeli forces in the disputed Shebaa Farms border zone.
Hezbollah has also carried out attacks outside the Middle East. It has
cells outside the Middle East. It was reportedly involved in the January 2002 attempt to smuggle a boatload of arms to the Palestinian Authority. It played a role in a pair of attacks in Argentina in the early 1990s. In June 2002, Singapore accused Hezbollah of recruiting Singaporeans in a failed 1990s plot to attack U.S. and Israeli ships in the Singapore Straits. Hezbollah was also among the few terrorist groups that President Bush mentioned by name in his January 2002 State of the Union address.
Its core consists of several thousand militants and activists
Hezbollah and its affiliates have planned or been linked to a lengthy series of terrorist attacks against the United States, Israel, and other Western targets. They include:
a series of kidnappings of Westerners in Lebanon, including several Americans, in the 1980s;
the suicide truck bombings that killed more than 200 U.S. Marines at their barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, in 1983;
the 1985 hijacking of TWA flight 847, which featured the famous footage of the plane’s pilot leaning out of the cockpit with a gun to his head;
two major 1990s attacks on Jewish targets in Argentina—the 1992 bombing of the Israeli Embassy (killing twenty-nine) and the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center (killing ninety-five).
a July 2006 raid on a border post in northern Israel in which two Israeli soldiers were taken captive. The abductions sparked an Israeli military campaign against Lebanon to which Hezbollah responded by firing rockets across the Lebanese border into Israel.
After the 2005 elections, Hezbollah won fourteen seats in the 128-member Lebanese Parliament. In addition, Hezbollah has two ministers in the government, and a third is endorsed by the group.
Hezbollah did not disarm when it entered Lebanese politics, and experts say the group's new political involvement is not an indication that the group is becoming more moderate.
