It is not possible to know what a terrorist organization and what not unless we first agree on the definition of the term “terrorism”. The reason we will not define terrorism is all too obvious to the entire world and all Americans other than the core 33% comprising of the Jesus freak, Bush worshipping and Fox News educated Republicans.

It's very simplistic to label a group
Hezbollah does much more than directing some Katyushas at Israel but that's all the neocons want us to know about them. Of course it's easy to call a group a terrorist group when they are willing to use violence to achieve their goals. Does the Bush regime call the Contras terrorists? Or is this term only appropriate when it describes goups opposing imperialism? Does a government only qualify as a terror regime when they are not democratically elected? There are no simple answers. Is there a difference between a child in northern Israel running to shelter because the sirens have gone off and a child in Beirut that is taken to the basement because jets are bombing the city? Terror is a tactic usually used by non-governmental groups who fight government oppression (in their mind) but some governments use the same tactics exercising their power. And it's not only dictatorships. Hezbollah is the result of Israel bullying the region, doing whatever they want, violating borders, raiding Lebanon. There was no Hezbollah before Sharon invaded. And Hezbollah has made it clear that they want Israel out of Lebanon. Just because the UN has declared that Sheeba Farms is not part of Lebanon does not mean that it is not part of Lebanon. Many times the UNSC has decided not according to just demands but according to US blackmail. It seems that there are regimes that need enemies because they can't exist without. And the enemies are responsible for everything that's wrong. Bombing is no solution it's a fake solution. And while the violence may be satisfying some simpletons, just causes cannot be suppressed by violence. To label Hezbollah as a terror organization because they fight Israel is only a small part of the picture. But it's convenient (at least here and in Israel). The Lebanese get more of the whole picture, that's why they view Hezbollah differently, now even more that two months ago.

How many people have Israelis killed? Seems to me the Israelites are the BIGGER terrorists.

This is raising a lot of hair folicles up here in Canada. No doubt the Liberal party will not back their "man in the field" as it would be too politically damaging.-------------------------------------------------------------- As was raised in the article, Hezbollah being deemed a terrorist organization, it is illegal to engage with them in any meaningful way. You leave the talking out, and all that remains is the bullets.----------------------------------------------------- The point is raised that: "If there wasn't a possibility for London to negotiate with Sinn Fein [the IRA's political party], we'd still have bombings in Northern Ireland," he said."--------------------------------------------------- That sounds reasonable. But unfortunately this is not the age of reason, its the age of violence and revenge. Led by BushCo., and backed up by the few other poodles like Blair, and our new Prime Minister, Harper. (If he would have been in power when the Iraq war started, we'd be bogged down there as well)------------------------------------------------ It took decades for Britain to swallow its pride and recognise Sinn Fein. How long until the west stops its childish knee jerk reactions to an organization that, like it or not, is revered by and speaks for, most of the muslim world in that area.-------------------------------------- You can recognise the political wing of Hezbollah, and engage in discussions, and still condem the terrorist tactics of its millitary wing.----------------------------------- But it seems both sides have painted themselves into a corner. Its black and white............If you're not with us, you're against us

I agree
Take them off and add the IDF. No question. Just look at their recent and past actions, it's a no-brainer.

Terrorists
Blaming Israel for Hizbullah terrorism is like blaming a woman who shoots a man who has just raped her. If you can't tell the difference between cold-blooded rapists and killers and lawful governments which necessarily take them on, you are without conscience or ethics. It is not evil to respond to evil by killing it, when it tries to kill you first. If you kill it, but it doesn't kill you, you've killed more than it has then, but that's not the measure of it. Israel has done the right thing.

Jumpin Jack, you analogy is spot on. Now if you really saw which the rapist is and which the victim is, you would understand why Israel must die. Remember the undisputed fact that Hezbollah was born of the 20 year Israeli occupation of Lebanon. Look at the facts and think like someone who does not have a dog in this fight.

Comparing Israel to a raped woman
is like arguing that because of the Holocaust Israel can do no wrong.

I agree. Hizballah is in the same position as Sinn Fein/IRA. With both alegitimate political wing, and an armed popular national resistance wing , it needs to be taken seriously as a group, and included in talks, disarmament isseus etc etc. To just label them 'terrorists' muddys the water. George, take note: the world does not fall neatly into black and white, good guys and bad guys.

These are the instigators behind American terrorism: Richard Perle, Dick Cheney, now vice-president, Donald Rumsfeld, defense secretary, Paul Wolfowitz, deputy defense secretary, I Lewis Libby, Cheney's chief of staff, William J Bennett, Reagan's education secretary, and Zalmay Khalilzad, Bush's ambassador to Afghanistan.

"Hope you don't get too attached to that big tower thing up there! Keep it up, and it'll come down with a bang!" ----- And why would that be? Just how much is Canada doing to piss off the rest of the world, eh? You are a typical right wing pansy... all talk, and it's all about FEAR! Not one word about causes and effects. Did you even bother to learn that in school? why, pray tell, would terrorists, and islamist ones especially, want to destroy anything in Canada? Damn, how much feear do you need to live by, anyway? How is the air under your bed?

The most dangerous enemies of America reside within our own borders, speak our own language in our own accents and control the levers of power to the detriment of our and our progenies' liberties and economic well being and the lives of our soldiers. It is beyond time for a serious house cleaning.

Same Story?
DEBKAfile Reports: Turkey forces one Syrian, 5 Iranian arms planes to land at Diyarbakir military base August 20, 2006, 11:47 AM (GMT+02:00) Six Iranian ILDT type 4-cargo planes and a Syrian aircraft were forced to land at the southeast Turkish military airport last Thursday after US spy satellites spotted they were loaded with missiles, missile launchers and eight boxes of Chinese made C-802 missiles, dubbed by Iran “Nur.” Haaretz Correspondent, and Reuters Airlines resumed flights to and from Beirut on Monday, but at Israel's insistence all planes were routed through Jordan for security checks, a senior industry source said. Lebanon's flag carrier, Middle East Airlines, announced it had resumed flights to all its destinations on Monday. It said they would be routed through Amman where passengers would stay on board for a transit time "not exceeding 50 minutes". It gave no reason, but a senior industry source said the enforced stop in Amman was a condition set by Israel, which is determined to stop Hezbollah from re-arming after a UN-backed truce took effect a week ago. If this is the same story, they certainly don't seem to agree. Debka is quoted by Raw often, but Haaretz is probably the more reliable of the two.

To me this sounds a little different
By Yossi Melman, Haaretz Correspondent, and Reuters Airlines resumed flights to and from Beirut on Monday, but at Israel's insistence all planes were routed through Jordan for security checks, a senior industry source said. Lebanon's flag carrier, Middle East Airlines, announced it had resumed flights to all its destinations on Monday. It said they would be routed through Amman where passengers would stay on board for a transit time "not exceeding 50 minutes". It gave no reason, but a senior industry source said the enforced stop in Amman was a condition set by Israel, which is determined to stop Hezbollah from re-arming after a UN-backed truce took effect a week ago. "They say it's for security checks. It's not an acceptable reason. It's part of the pressure that is being put on Lebanon by Israel," said the source, who asked not to be named. "It's absurd. I don't think Hezbollah is going to smuggle weapons or hostages or part of their leadership on a commercial flight," the source added. Israeli, Jordanian or Lebanese officials were not immediately available for comment. Turkey blocks flights from Iran, Syria to Lebanon Meanwhile, Turkish authorities have prevented five Iranian airplanes and a Syrian aircraft from flying into Lebanon, suspecting them of transporting arms to Hezbollah, Haaretz learned Monday. The Turkish Hurriyet newspaper reported Monday that one of the aircraft that Turkish authorities forced to land at the Diyarbakir airport in eastern Turkey belongs to a private Iranian airline. According to Hurriyet and other reports in Turkish media, the aircraft was not allowed leave Diyarbakir for Lebanon, after American intelligence reports indicated the plane carried three missile launchers and containers with Chinese C-802 land-to-sea missiles, identical to the missile that hit an Israel Navy battleship in July. The detained aircraft entered Turkish airspace after having been prevented from flying over Iraq. Turkish authorities would not elaborate on whether these actions are part of a new policy. But analysts believe that Ankara has acquiesced to American and Israeli requests to impose stricter surveillance on the passage of Iranian aircraft and their cargo. Syria's status in relation to the new surveillance procedures is still unclear.

Hezbollah is not on the terrorist group list in the EU nor Russia, and definitly not in Lebanon. This T-word has become an all encompassing label for anyone that goes against the Great Powers that do the most terrorizing

I don't know much about Debka, but it seems to rush out stories without verification. Also seem to be very rightwing, but I am not sure of that.

I came across them a couple times and it seems that they are connected to Israeli intelligence. But that alone is no reason for spinning.

They do things like they have here because we invaded Iraq with no provocation and look like we are going to do it again to Iran, Syria and whoever else gets in our way. Canada allows CANADIAN law, only. Same as any other country that only allows it's own laws. Get real. If that is the best you've got, then you got NOTHING. The only people stupid enough to do what you are suggesting and why you are suggesting are republicans.

If Hezbollah is a terrorist organization why was Israel allowed to bomb innocent people who were not terrorist? If on the other hand Hezbollah is a part of the Lebanese government then it is appalling to know that the Lebanese government allowed a foreign government to bomb it's people without attempting to defend itself. I would liken Hezbollah to America's Minuteman Border Patrol militia. Both are trying to defend against illegal incursions to cross borders. Therefore, if Hezbollah is terrorist group so too is the American Minutemen Border guards. The Minutemen may or may not have officials in elected positions in the US government just like Hezbollah. Both are defending the border as volunteers, both are supported by the nations national guard or military. What is the difference. Israel builds fences, the US builds fences. It is not terrorism to defend your country. It is terrorism to bomb a nation killing hundreds or thousand of innocent civilians just by accusing a nation of terrorist ties. It seems to me that most of the Lebanese support Hezbollah, Lebanon’s equivalent of the US Minutemen.
