How is Hamas different than Hezbollah?

Answer 1
Hezbollah 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 2

Religion: 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.
