Default Re: Prove to me that Hezbollah is a terrorist organization

Hizb Allah denies involvement in the Argentina episodes. They were also more than ten years ago

So everything that happened more than 10 years ago is irrelevant? What about 5 years? Is that irrelevant too? Not surprisingly your posts defy logic. Were the Argentinian attacks terrorism? Yes/No?

I don;t see how the attack on the marine barracks, a military target of a country that was intervening in the conflict increasingly on behalf of one side, can be considered a terrorist attack.

The marines were in Lebanon as part of a multinational force to oversee the evactuation of the PLO. As with vitually every one of yours posts, you seriously need to go back and reread the history. Unless you want to claim that it was more than 10 years ago. A few facts:

On Aug 28, 1983 - a full year after the Marines had been in Lebanon - a combat outpost manned by 30 Marines and Lebanese Army troops east of Beirut International Airport came under attack. Marines returned fire for the first time.

On August 31, 1983 after Moslem shelling of the US embassy, Marines return fire.

September 19, 1983 - Two American warships fire rounds to help Lebanese Army troops retain hold on the village of Suq al Gharb. How dare the Americans intervene on the side of the Lebanese. Don't they know whose country this is? Oh wait...

You also forgot to mention the "non-terrorist" attack on the French barracks that killed 58.

But Hizballah's record is overwhelmingly one of military involvement with the Israeli army and it not in my view primarily a terrorist organisation even if it has arguably been involved in some terrorist-type atrocities.

All I can say to the above statement is....Wow.

Nasrallah has repeatedly argued that the US is the cause of all Lebanon's woes. In his words, "death to America is not a slogan. Death to America is a policy, a strategy and a vision.". Thankfully it is only a matter of time before Hezbollah is swept up in the dustbin of history.
