What are some differences between Hamas and Hezbollah?
Answer 1Hamas originates primarily from Palestine.Hezbollah originates primarily from Lebanon.Both organizations are considered terrorist groups by the US & Israel.Answer 2There are a few major differences between the two groups:Religious Affiliation and ProselytismHamas: Hamas considers itself Sunni and does not see proselytism as terribly important as the overwhelming majority of Palestinians are Sunni Muslims.Hezbollah: Hezbollah considers itself to be Shiite Muslim and operates in countries where Shiites are a minority (primarily Syria and Lebanon). Therefore Hezbollah actively tries to proselytize Shiite Islam to the Sunni Muslim population.Methods of Government ControlHamas: Hamas militants have actually evicted the de jure Palestinian Authority Government after issues in setting up a multi-party state. Hamas maintains sole control of the Gaza Strip and has no representation in any government outside of the Gaza Strip. Hamas is headquartered in Damascus, yet has no say in the Syrian governmentHezbollah: Hezbollah is an active part of both the Lebanese and Syrian regimes where it operates. It has government ministers in Lebanon that serve alongside other Shiite and non-Shiite confessional representatives. However, when things did not go according to Hezbollah's desires, they rioted in central Beirut. In Syria, it has committed members to operating alongside the Shiite Alawite Regime of Bashar Al-Assad. Hezbollah considers itself part of governments, but not exclusively.Territories of OperationHamas: While Hamas headquarters are in Damascus, the organization spends most of its time and effort in Palestine (and attacks into Israel).Hezbollah: Hezbollah spends the majority of its efforts domestically in Syria and Lebanon and occasionally attacks Israel.Military HardwareHamas: Hamas has a large variety of simple rockets, equipped pick-up trucks, and knowledge of how to assemble bombs. Hamas can effectively fight guerrilla wars and thug-type engagements, but does not have aircraft, armored cars, or missile weaponry.Hezbollah: Hezbollah has all of the types of armaments that Hamas has, but does have armored cars, simple tanks, long-range Soviet missiles and other more established military technologies. Hezbollah operates more like an under-equipped private army than an over-equipped guerrilla organization.

What are relations between Lebanon and Israel?
Lebanon and Israel are in a de jure State of War. There are no diplomatic relations between the two nations at ANY level and Lebanese entrants may have their entry denied if the border patrol sees any evidence of Israeli entrance on a passport. (Israel does not reciprocate this forbidding of entrance, but Israeli officials do get angry when they see Lebanese stamps in a passport.) There are no border crossing and citizens of each country cannot visit the other country.On the flip side, a small part of the Israeli population traces Lebanese Jewish Heritage.In terms of political history, Lebanon was one of the seven Arab nations that tried to destroy Israel in the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9. After Israel's success, Lebanon abstained from the Six-Day War of 1967 and the Arab-Israeli War of 1973. Israel invaded Lebanon during the Lebanese Civil War in order to force the PLO out of Lebanon. During that period, Israel allied with Lebanese Christian Phalangist Movements against the Sunni and Shiite Moslem coalitions and the Syrian Invaders. Israel retreated in 1982 to occupy a southern portion of the country, which it relinquished in 2000. In 2006, Israel invaded Lebanon again after Hezbollah captured 2 Israeli Border Soldiers. Hezbollah reciprocated with Katyusha Missile Attacks. The Israel-Hezbollah War lasted for a few months before Israeli troops withdrew back to the Israeli border.

How come the world chooses to forget that the Iranian nuclear warhead manufacturing facilities in Natanz and Arak support Shiite Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon and Baghdad?
Answer 1The world chooses to forget that the Iranian nuclear warhead manufacturing facilities in Natanz and Arak support Shi'ite Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon and Baghdad because the US has the matter in control.Answer 2The question makes incorrect assumptions or claims that can help to explain why people may disagree with its views. (1) Hezbollah does not operate in Baghdad, but only in Syria and Lebanon. (2) While the Iranian government certainly supports Hezbollah, the research facilities at Natanz and Arak do not assist Hezbollah; rather, they are conducting research into the methods by which uranium can be enriched. The two problem-issues are being created by the Iranian government separately.
What is the ideology of Hezbollah?
Hezbollah is an Islamist Paramilitary and Terrorist Organization that identifies as Twelver Shiite Muslims. The most common and identifiable terrorist action is the suicide bomber who blows himself up to take out some enemies as well as himself. Hezbollah tells its membership that their fight against Israel, Maronites, some other Christians, and, on occasion Sunni Muslims, is part of the holy Islamic struggle of Jihad and anyone who opposes them is not properly guided. Most Muslim terrorists wish to inspire fear in their enemies and therefore primarily attack civilians, considering them part of the enemy. Some "moderate" non-associated clerics have defended these activities claiming that the civilians represent part of the group that "is opposed to Islam". Since Hezbollah exists in countries with a weak internal support structure, it will use its own funds to build schools, parks, hospitals, and other social services in the communities it occupies. It provides goodwill with the local inhabitants and allows them to more effectively spread whatever messages they may wish to say. Finally, Hezbollah has actively engaged in elections in Lebanon with its own political party. Hezbollah created a violent stand-off in Beirut when the government formed after the election did not support Hezbollah's agenda with the intent to force the national government to capitulate to their desires.
