The mujahideen, Hezbollah, Hamas, and Al-Qaeda are all militant groups that have been involved in armed struggles, often justified by religious or ideological motivations. While they share some common goals, such as resistance against perceived oppression or foreign intervention, they differ in their specific agendas, tactics, and regional focuses. Hezbollah is primarily focused on Lebanon and its conflict with Israel, Hamas governs the Gaza Strip and emphasizes Palestinian nationalism, while Al-Qaeda operates as a transnational terrorist organization. The mujahideen, historically, refers to various groups engaged in jihad, particularly during the Soviet-Afghan War.

What do Hezbollah and Hamas have in common?
Hamas and Hezbollah are Arab Muslim Terrorist and Paramilitary Organizations. Hamas operates out of Syria and the Gaza Strip while Hezbollah operates out of Syria and Lebanon.General CharacteristicsThe most common and identifiable Hamas terrorist action is the suicide bomber who blows himself up to take out some enemies as well as himself while Hezbollah and Hamas have increasingly used missiles and rockets. These organizations tell their membership that the fight in which they are engaged is part of the holy Islamic struggle of Jihad and anyone who opposes them is not properly guided. Therefore, Hamas and Hezbollah will identify what sect of Islam they belong to and whether or not they oppose the other sects. (Hamas is avowedly Sunni, but accepts Shiites because Iran provides most of its funding. Hezbollah is Shiite and does not recognize the validity of Sunni Islam.) Most Muslim terrorists wish to inspire fear in their enemies and therefore primarily attack civilians, considering them part of the enemy. Since Hamas and Hezbollah exist in countries with a weak internal support structure, in many cases they will use their own funds to build schools, parks, hospitals, and other social services in the communities they occupy. It provides goodwill with the local inhabitants and allows them to more effectively spread whatever messages they may wish to say. Finally, Hamas and Hezbollah have all actively engaged in elections (Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Palestine) with their own political parties. If the governments formed after these elections were not desirable to these parties, they engaged in military actions to force the national government to capitulate to their desires. In the case of Hezbollah this created a violent stand-off in Beirut and in the case of Hamas, this prompted a Palestinian Civil War in Gaza and the West Bank.
How is Hamas different than Hezbollah?
Answer 1Hezbollah is against doctors and hospitals in the middle east because of the abuses that go on there by medical staff,forced medical treatment without the persons consent and other things that cannot be mentioned here.Hezbollah has always tried to change the unjust regeime that is Lebanon and protect the people.But Hamas is not helping the people and is working more for self gain.It has done nothing to protect the people of Gaza from Israel and there have been cases of Hamas the Government using torture in their prisons.Answer 2Religion: The clearest difference between Hamas and Hezbollah is that the former identifies as Sunni Islamists and the latter as Shiite Islamists. (Note: Islamist IS NOT a synonym of Muslim, it is a specific political term.) Islamic terrorist organizations tell their membership that the fight in which they are engaged is part of the holy Islamic struggle of Jihad and anyone who opposes them is not properly guided. Therefore, Muslim terrorist organizations will identify what sect of Islam they belong to and whether or not they oppose the other sects. Hamas and Hezbollah have both put out broadcasts claiming that Muslims of the other sects (Shiites for Hamas and Sunnis for Hezbollah) are Kuffar (Unbelievers) and will be punished by God for their sin.Social Welfare: Hamas and Hezbollah exist in countries with a weak internal support structure, in many cases such as with Hezbollah and Hamas they will use their own funds to build schools, parks, hospitals, and other social services in the communities they occupy. It provides goodwill with the local inhabitants and allows them to more effectively spread whatever messages they may wish to say. Since Hamas operates in the Gaza Strip, its institutions are there. Since Hezbollah operates in Lebanon and Syria, it builds its institutions there. Contrary to Answer 1, Hezbollah actually does build hospitals and fund medicine.Politics: Hezbollah and Hamas have actively engaged in elections with Hezbollah running in Lebanon and Hamas running in Palestine with their own political parties. If the governments formed after these elections were not desirable to these parties, they engaged in military actions to force the national government to capitulate to their desires. In the case of Hezbollah this created a violent stand-off in Beirut and in the case of Hamas, this prompted a Palestinian Civil War in Gaza and the West Bank to overthrow Fatah.

HEZBOLLAHBlack October, Hamas, and the PFLP are all Palestinian militant organizations.

Why do Americans support the Irish Republican Army but don't support the IRA's pals Hamas or Hezbollah?
First, it is worth distinguishing the US government from the acts of independent American citizens. The US government has not supported the IRA in any serious capacity, but Irish Americans have. Additionally, the United States has listed the RIRA (the militant successor to the Provisional IRA in 1997) as a terrorist organization and has blacklisted them. Irish Americans supported the IRA for sectarian reasons, namely to free Ireland from British rule.In the case of Hamas and Hezbollah, there are far fewer Americans of Arab descent to support these organizations, but there is such support. This has ended up in a number of court cases concerning the money-trails that lead to these organizations, most notably the Holy Land Foundation Trials. The reason that the United States government goes after supporters of Hamas and Hezbollah is that both organizations are directly hostile to the United States.As a final note, Hamas and Hezbollah are not "pals" of the IRA. Not all paramilitary/terrorist groups have warm (or even extant relationships).
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 Hamas Fatah and Hezbollah?
All three of these groups are Jihadist terrorist organizations with a number of discernible characteristics. The most common and identifiable Muslim terrorist action is the suicide bomber who blows himself up to take out some enemies as well as himself. Muslim terrorist organizations tell their membership that the fight in which they are engaged is part of the holy Islamic struggle of Jihad and anyone who opposes them is not properly guided. Therefore, Muslim terrorist organizations will identify what sect of Islam they belong to and whether or not they oppose the other sects. 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 Muslim terrorists exist in countries with a weak internal support structure, in many cases such as with Hezbollah, Hamas, or Fatah, they will use their own funds to build schools, parks, hospitals, and other social services in the communities they occupy. It provides goodwill with the local inhabitants and allows them to more effectively spread whatever messages they may wish to say. Finally, Muslim terrorist organizations like Hezbollah, Hamas, and Fatah have all actively engaged in elections (Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas and Fatah in Palestine) with their own political parties. If the governments formed after these elections were not desirable to these parties, they engaged in military actions to force the national government to capitulate to their desires. In the case of Hezbollah this created a violent stand-off in Beirut and in the case of Hamas and Fatah, this prompted a Palestinian Civil War in Gaza and the West Bank.

How has Hezbollah effectively defended the Palestinian People?
Answer 1Hezbollah has perpetuated violence between the Palestinians and Israel. So far this has not done any good for anyone, but who knows, perhaps someday Israel will be destroyed, all the Jews will be killed, and the Palestinians will be happy.Answer 2Hezbollah mostly supports Lebanon against being occupied by Israel. currently parts of Lebanon like Kfarchouba, Al-Ghajar and Shebaa farms are occupied by Israel and 11,000 anti-Israel activists and fighters from Palestine and Lebanon are held in Israel prisons and 70% of Palestinians are living out of their country in poorly situation and waiting to back to their homes and lands. Hezbollah supports Palestinians by resisting against occupation and Imperialism. Hezbollah supports Palestine Resistance Movement in different ways. for example providing them technology for making home made missiles to be used against Israel attacks. Palestinians used their home made rockets against Israel. many of Hezbollah supports for Palestine Resistance fighters are secret because Israeli forces immediately terror by air attack or kidnap any known activist in Palestine or Lebanon. currently 11,000 of them are in Israel prisons. Hezbollah condemns any attack of Israel on any Palestine of Lebanon people. but western media re highly biased about Hezbollah and does not cover news about Hezbollah properly.The government of Lebanon is not controlled by Hezbollah and so Hezbollah can not solve all problems of Palestinian refugees living in Lebanon. governments of Lebanon in many cases have been in secret friendship relations with Israel. for example supporting Phalangist extremists against Hezbollah.Hezbollah according to Qur'an consider all Muslims their brothers.The believers are but brothers, so make settlement between your brothers. And fear Allah that you may receive mercy. (49:10)the Palestine Resistance movement members are both Shia and Sunni Muslims but Hezbollah consider any Palestinian a wronged who their homes are occupied by a arrogant regime and according to Islam a Muslim has duty to help any wronged even if he is not Muslim. but liberating all remaining occupied lands of Lebanon and making all resistance prisoners from Israel prisons has priority for Hezbollah. but supporting Palestine Resistance and even any wronged people all over the world is mission of Hezbollah as a Twelver Shia Islam party.Answer 3Hezbollah has often claimed to defend the Palestinian people by resisting Israeli occupation, but this resistance has not actually resulted in any gains for Palestinians. While it is certainly arguable that Hezbollah has been successful in pressuring Israel to withdraw from southern Lebanon, which was under Israeli occupation from 1982-2000, no senior Middle East scholar has ever credited Hezbollah with any of the Palestinian political or military gains vis-a-vis Israel. The Oslo Accords were a result of the First Palestinian Intifada, which had no Hezbollah involvement.In terms of the Gaza Strip, Hezbollah is tangentially related since Hamas, the occupying force in the Gaza Strip, is also a terrorist/paramilitary organization supported by Iran. However, Hamas has made no serious gains against Israel despite its posturing. Since the Hamas assumption of power in 2007, the situation for Palestinians in the Gaza has consistently deteriorated with the one exception that Palestinian fishing rights, which had been severely curtailed after the First Gazan War of 2008-2009 where minimally restored after the Second Gazan War of 2012. Between the two Gazan Wars, approximately 1500 Palestinians died with minimal Israeli casualties. Thankfully, since Hezbollah has done little to help the Palestinians in these conflicts, they cannot he held accountable for Hamas' deplorable mistake of putting its civilian population in the Israeli line of fire.As concerns politics in Lebanon, Hezbollah has actually used its political clout to ignore the Palestinians living in Lebanon (who represent nearly a tenth of the overall Lebanese population). While Hezbollah is not responsible for any of the several attacks on Palestinian Refugee Camps in Lebanon (such as Sabra, Shatilla, and Nahr el-Bared) they did not take any actions to prevent these massacres, nor did they condemn those who did. Additionally, Hezbollah has never suggested or supported a normalization of papers measure for Lebanese Palestinians. A "normalization of papers" could be as minimal as providing Lebanese Palestinians with working papers so that they could get jobs in Lebanese companies or it could be full Lebanese citizenship. Supporting a measure like this would certainly be in the Palestinian interest, but Hezbollah has seen fit to ignore this problem, which is no different than the rest of the Lebanese electorate. However, the other groups do not claim to be the defenders of the Palestinian people.
What was the relationship with Bin Laden and the mujahideen while they were in Afghanistan fighting the Soviets in the late 1970s and 1980s?
The Mujahideen, although they all opposed the Soviet occupation, were not a cohesive force. Some of them were pro-American, and some like Bin Laden hated Americans as much as they hated Soviets.
