Do you consider Hezbollah: a "patriotic resistance group "or a "terrorist organization"? please tell me why?

Answer 1

a patriot organization is not formed with a sole purpose of wiping out another race.

Answer 2

One man's "freedom fighter" is another man's "terrorist".

In fact, the word "terrorist" was first applied to the Israeli resistance group - the "Stern Group" or "Irgun" who bombed civil or semi-civilian targets in their campaign to prevent the British from turning Palestine over to its Arab inhabitants.

Hezbollah has legitimate grievances against some actions of the Israeli government over the years, and their resistance to the Israeli occupation and incursions into South Lebanon can be viewed as justified in some respects. However their attacks on civilian Israeli targets makes them a terrorist organization IMHO.

Just for a theoretical exercise, what would you say about a resistance campaign that authorized attacks on the homes of the occupying power's civilian leaders, seizing and burning the private property of those who supported the occupiers, and fired upon convoys (manned by civilians) carrying goods to the military forces of the occupiers?

Would you call them Patriots or Terrorists?

Answer 3

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. These attacks 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.

Answer 4

I'm a patriotic Ameican...I wouldn't cross the border to kill and kidnap Quebec'rs, even if I hated them. If I advocated, chartered, organized, funded, strategized and executed a plan to do so...I'd be a terrorist in a terrorist organization. If Quebec'rs came into the USA to do so or started firing rockets inti Plattsburg, NY, I'd get my friends and others of like mind, let's call them Patriots (or hey...how about the military or National Guard which we fund?!) to resist them (defend ourselves and our lved ones and community...)...Maybe even cross the border into Quebec to take them out. Am I then the aggressor or terriorist? I THINK NOT! COMMON SENSE, America..PLEASE!
