Hezbollah, Terrorism, and U.S. and Israeli Policy

هل تعتقد أن حزب الله منظمة إرهابية؟

The United States considers Hezbollah a terrorist organization,

but the term terrorism is used by the great

powers simply to refer to forms of

violence of which they disapprove.

So the US was, of course, supporting the Israeli

invasions and occupation of southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah was instrumental in

driving them out. So for that reason, they are a terrorist

organization. And it's a reflection of the

power of the imperial states, the United

States and Europe, that they are able to shift the

framework so that the problem appears to be

Hamas' policies and not the more extreme policies

of the United States and Israel. And remember, and we must

remember that in their case, it's not just policies, it's not words,

it's

actions.
