Aliases: Islamic Jihad, Islamic Jihad for the Liberation of Palestine, Organization of the Oppressed on Earth, Party of God, Revolutionary Justice Organization, The Islamic Resistance. Base of Operation: Lebanon. Founding Philosophy: Hezbollah is an umbrella organization of various radical Islamic Shi'ite groups and organizations which receives substantial financial and philosophical support from Iran. It was founded in 1982 in response to the invasion of Lebanon by Israel that same year, and subsumed members of the 1980s coalition of groups known as Islamic Jihad. The group is led by religious clerics who promote the establishment of an Islamic state in Lebanon. After the attacks of September 11th, Hezbollah is responsible for the next largest anti-American terrorist attack. In October 1983, a truck bomb killed 241 American Marines at the multinational force barracks in Beirut.
The following year, a suicide bombing at the U.S. embassy in Beirut killed 17 Americans, including many of the embassy's CIA staff. The group is also thought to be responsible for attacks against US and Jewish targets in Africa, Sweden, Denmark, Thailand, Argentina and the UK. The 1992 bombing of the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires and the 1994 bombing of a Jewish cultural centre in Buenos Aires are the most well known. and no one thinks this is a terroist org? First Mentioned: 1982 Strength: Greater than 300 members Classification: Nationalist/Separatist, Religious Last Attack: Apr. 7, 2005 and now Israel Financial Sources: Iran and Syria (as of 2004); Donations The core of the Hezbollah organization also spelled Hizballah, Hezbullah and other variants, meaning 'Party of God' in Lebanon comes from 'Iranian Revolutionary Guards' sent to Lebanon in 1982, at the time of Israel's invasion of Southern Lebanaon designed to oust the PLO. They went to assist in the establishment of a revolutionary Islamic movement whose members would participate in the 'Jihad', Holy War, against Israel from bases in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley. Inspired by the success of the Iranian Revolution and establishment of an Islamic Republic in Iran, Hezbollah also dreamt of transforming Lebanon's multi-religion state into an Iranian-style Islamic state. Its ideology, as expressed in declarations by its leadership, maintained that Israel had no legitimacy as a state, and that it must be fought until Jerusalem, meaning all of Israel, is liberated. In 1991, the Hezbollah was responsible for 52 attacks, as compared to 19 attacks the organization carried out in 1990. In 1992, the Hezbollah launched 63 attacks and in 1993, 158 attacks, when during the course of 'Operation Accountability' they fired hundreds of Katyusha rockets into the Security Zone and Israeli territory. In 1994 a total of 187 attacks against Israeli troops and positions by Hezbollah were recorded. There were 119instances of artillery fire 31 detonations of explosive charges and two frontal assaults on IDF positions. In 1995 a total of 344 attacks against Israeli troops and positions by were recorded. There were 270 instances of artillery fire, 64 detonations of explosive charges and 2 frontal assaults on IDF positions. Hezbollah did not confine the slaughter to Israel and Lebanon. so why would anyone think its a terrorist org? The bloodshed included multiple bombings in Argentina of Israeli and Jewish community facilities, one in Buenos Aires, March 1992 that killed 29 and another in July 1994 that killed 96.At the time this last event was one of the worst terrorist attacks ever in the Western hemisphere. Hezbollah is also credited with blowing up a Panamanian airplane in flight. Interesting isn't it? Lets take briefly what has happened since Gaza. Isreal, going against their own people, evicting them from Gaza, and handing it all back, withdrawing, for the sake of "Peace". The Hezbollah and friends and supporters couldn't even wait for the final troops to withdraw before sending the troops on their way with a few well placed rockets and morter shells. Even then they wern't satisfied........they continued bombarding Isreal during the so called "Ceasefire". I, along with many people knew the "Ceasefire" would not last. The Hezbollah and co are NOT INTERESTED in peace in the slightest. They are "JIHAD MILITANTS" who want nothing more than continued war until all Jews and Isreali's are gone from the lands. And we have idiots in NZ who support these actions? Jeez.....no wonder Isreal has had it up to the eyeballs with these friggin nutcases!! PS i am kiwis half brother! He let me type this up as long as i say whos typing it! Anyway i have been following this forum for a while well whenever i visit kiwi and like what i read here. Hello to avon from Isreal. I dont use internet at home so have not bothered to register. |
