What makes a terrorist? Where is the line between terrorist and freedom fighter? These are the questions that surround Lebanon’s Hezbollah militant group. Denounced as a terrorist organisation by dozens of nations from Saudi Arabia to the USA, its reputation for bombings, hijackings, and kidnappings has stood for decades. However, its defenders like Iran, Syria, and Russia insist that Hezbollah are freedom fighters opposing the intervention of imperialist foreign powers like Israel and the USA.
So what is Hezbollah? Where did it come from? What does it want? And what has it done to deserve a terrorist label? Today on A Day In History, we explore the rise and reputation of Lebanon’s Hezbollah militia. If you enjoy it, don’t forget to leave a like to show your support and subscribe for more videos like this one.
Origins of Hezbollah
The story of Hezbollah begins with the Shia Muslim minority of Lebanon.
Until recently, Lebanon was a Christian majority nation with smaller Sunni and Shia minorities. The Shia have historically been the smaller group with high levels of economic inequality and low levels of political representation or power. They traditionally inhabited Southern Lebanon and the Northern Bekaa Valley, placing them near the border with Israel after 1948.
Unresolved religious conflict in Lebanon led to a civil war between the Lebanese government and several rival factions in 1975 that stretched on for the next 15 years. With Christians, Shias, and Sunnis taking up arms in a multi-factional struggle, backed by various foreign powers including Iran, Syria, and the US, it was one of the most complex conflicts of the 20th century. The chaos allowed Palestinian militants of the PLO, displaced from Palestine itself, to set themselves up in Southern Lebanon. The influence of these Islamist militants would encourage the Shia of the area to pursue their own militant course.
Things were further complicated by two major developments. First, the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1978-9 triggered a wave of revolutionary Islamic fervour across the Shia world. The new Iranian regime was eager to support like minded groups and threw its backing and resources into Lebanese and Palestinian militant groups. Second, Israel’s 1982 invasion of Southern Lebanon in response to attacks launched by Palestinian militants unified Muslims in the region against it.
Hezbollah’s exact origins in this chaos are unclear. It has no single founding date but scholars suggest it emerged no earlier than 1982. Other scholars insist that the elements that made up Hezbollah can’t be called a unified organisation before 1985 or so. However, modern Hezbollah is certainly descended from the tapestry of Shia militant groups that emerged in response to the 1982 Israeli invasion, and we’ll be taking that earlier date for our video.

Love this video! But it’s important to note that it wasn’t just a fight between “factions” in Lebanon. When the Palestinians were forced out of Jordan to Lebanon, the Muslim population grew exponentially. Muslims began setting up checkpoints, checking for Christian ID’s and then executing entire Christian families in Beirut. So Christian’s began defending themselves.

In order to be a "freedom fighter" you actually have to be fighting for your people to live in a better and free state. If you're fighting to establish a new dictatorship then you're not a "freedom fighter"
What if they're fighting due to the consequences of the ongoing attempt to create a highly militarized nation state based on the supremacy of one ethnic group over all others in one of the most multi-cultural regions on the planet? Wouldn't fighting against that kind of thing be, you know, kind of good and worthwhile even if it was done by bad people for bad reasons? Or do you think God is a psychotic real estate dealer who is cool with one special people investing billions of $ to bomb hospitals & schools from the sky so they can create a theme park version of a biblical nation while feeding their children into compulsory military slavery.

There was NOT a “Palestine” until 1988.
If it existed then, where was the capital? Who was a leader? What monetary system did it have? What was a national food, song or tradition? Where is an archeological site?
NONE OF THESE THINGS EXIST FOR THE “PALESTINIAN” PEOPLE.
The Palestine Mandate was a colonial territory. The 1939 “Palestine” soccer team was ALL Jews.
PLO leader Zuhei Mohsen in 1977 interview w/ truew Magazine
"The Palestinian people do not exist. Between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese there are no differences. We are all part of one people, the Arab nation... Just for political reasons we carefully underwrite our Palestinian identity because it is of national interest for the Arabs to advocate the existence of Palestinians to balance Zionism. The existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons."

The concept of terrorism and its historical context in the Middle East is complex and dates back centuries, but pinpointing the "first" terrorist attack in the region is challenging due to varying interpretations and definitions of terrorism.
However, one notable event often considered a significant precursor to modern terrorism occurred in 1946. Members of the Zionist paramilitary group Irgun, led by Menachem Begin, bombed the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, which was the headquarters of the British Mandatory authorities in Palestine. The attack resulted in the deaths of 91 people, including British, Arab, and Jewish civilians.
This event is often cited as an early example of a terrorist attack in the modern Middle Eastern context because it targeted civilians and was carried out for political purposes, aiming to drive the British out of Palestine and establish a Jewish state.

„Freedom Fighters or Terrorists?“ 😂😂😂
the answer to that question is much more complicated then just black and white. I personally dont support any modern day military group, because every single one is guilty of all the crimes listed in this video. thats the thing, if those crimes make this organization terrorist, then why arent western nations considered terrorist when they do the exact same thing on a larger scale. honestly what this group has done is no where near horrendous as some of the things the u.s military has done. and its definitely true that there are so many foreign influences affecting the actions of this group, and the politics of the middle east in general. why is israel not a terrorist group when they invade, kidnap and kill civilians? the thing is "terrorist" is just a political label, technically every military in the world can be considered a terroist based off their actions. my point is everyone involved in this are in wrong, there is no justification for senseless murder and conflict. its all for political control and power, and that does not justify such conflict.
Self deluded wokist
I love reading people justify all the actions in the videos because other countries have done worse things at a point in time.

As usual, the question depends on what side you're on.
not really, its like comparing a shackled vs unshackled pedophile
Last I checked, one of those (the Christian one) was focused mainly on internal Lebanese matters while the other (the Islamist one) wanted to strongarm Lebanon into intervening on the Arab world's behalf.

It would be a good move to point out the causes instead of just saying stuff, for instance, why dis they attack israel in 2006? Israel had hostages, and the idea of hezbollah kidnapping some of the idf army was for trading them

Their aim is fighting goodness and replaced it with badness, peace with chaos and holiness with unholiness.
Wortty with unwortiness, etc
Their aim is to free the middle east from Israel. A noble cause.
the u.s. and Uk have done similar if not way more heinous war crimes me crimes against humanity in general , ex human experimentation at La Princesa castle In Puerto Rico
absolutely. there really is no "good" military.
Okay, so? So you're saying he can't talk about this? Why are you bringing it now?😊
@@AllKings thats not what i said stop putting words in other peoples mouths but in the grand scheme of things the US and UK (majority White people with christian/ catholic views) have committed way more human rights violations and abuses “under a justifiable guise” as a whole than any other nation has ever collectively
apparently you're only allowed to defend against colonization if you're from ukraine
Ukrainians never invaded Russia and killed civilians indiscriminately or raped women
Free Palestine💔💔💔

Can you make a video about the cobalt issues and the American genocides in the Congo?
What "genocide" in the congo? Making people work for companies (that isnt even from the US but from China and the Congo state itself)
Global's Idaho Cobalt Operations mine near Salmon, Idaho is the only US mine that the US controls that are in the USA not in the Congo
"Most of the cobalt the US and its allies use comes from mines that are owned or controlled by China or the Democratic Republic of the Congo."
You are pretty un-smart i see ;)
😢 and islam genocide christians in congo
the line is with the BBC and CNN
America likes= Freedom fighter.
America says badguy= Badguy.
Islamists like = freedom fighters
Islamists dislike = terrorists
I'd appreciate a video on Israel's crimes. There's plenty of material for a 3 part series
Something I would like is for you to point out full facts .. 1982 invasion was not defensive .. they were attacking Palestinians and Palestinians attacked back to safe face .. you didn’t fully explain that which annoys me because people have this fake narrative that Israel is always attacked first which is just not accurate at all plus they have no right as occupiers
The owner of this channel is Zio to the core 🎉

Keep crying. Your last sentence says it all, you keep spouting hatred, saying the Jews don't have a claim on the land. If you could accept that both people groups have the right to live in the land people would support you. As long as you keep asserting that Israel cannot exist in that land, this violence will continue. If Israel doesn't do all this, people who this opinion would literally genocide the Jews of Israel (not like the fake you claim is happening in Palestine). So Israel has every right to fight extremist groups. As long as they don't accept the legitimacy of the nation and country of Israel, of a Jewish homeland, this will go on.
Most importantly, how do the Lebanese feel about Hezbollah?
Well around half the population like them. That half are the muslim and the other half don't hate them but don't trust them
the clear lib, or left leaning of these report has me concerned with the reporting. seems to want to paint these terrorist being forced to show their evil colors but u can tell its trying its best to paint it in a nice light
???
Most wars and conflicts around the world has one ideology in common. I'll let you guess what it is.
Jesus is God, get saved. If the world knew this, there would be no war or terrorism.
Catholics and Christian’s are the ones that go around colonising and forcefully converting people or killing them, stealing land and starting wars.
So just one speaker huh
TBH all sides are kinda dark tho 😂😂
From decolonisation forces in Africa to far east and middle east Asia
Such a one sided documentary. Spastic
Which side was missing?
one sided? this whole video was supposed to be about that one particular group.
And you will be so quick to claim israel is a genocidal apartheid state but don't believe arabs are also bad?
Like the part where he critiqued Israel’s bombing of Lebanon or do you just have selective hearing?
@@dannydanumba This is not about Israel, why you so obsessed with Israel? Are you two in love 🥰?
And just think a lot of collage students are for these people and what they stand for and so is the left.....
Sabra and Shatilla mas-sacres were committed by the Catholic Maronites who were allied with the Israeli army in Lebanon during the occu-pation of Beirut in 1982
Ariel Sharon himself when he was the Minister of Defense in Israel, was the main responsible for that.
I hope that the channel owner has the courage to let that reply to be read. Freedom of speech I think !!
Yes, it was a major scandal in israel when it came out
Isreal didn't start the Lebanese civil war ...why not explain what actually happened.
Oh but they were the ones that helped with the massacre@@bleep957
This is so sad. When will the World wake up?
I wonder if starmer and his clowns will watch this .😂😂😂
Next person who says free palestine to me gets a free ambulance ride
7:30 occupation of southern Lebanon not only shebas farms and heights of kfarshuba untill year 2000
Why not you think that Israel is a terrorist entity?
They aren't.
If you’re going to list crimes then you might need another video to list Americas crimes since WW2.
Do you have the courage to make a single video of 106 massacres done by IDF. Guess not you are all the same 😂.
You make it yourself if you want it so bad
Fake news. 🥱
Damn this comment section is full of hypocrites huh
You, huh 😂😂
SORRY BUT PLEASE DO A VIDEO ABOUT THE ZIONIST AND THEIR CRIMESWHAT THEY DID AND NOW DO, LIKE KIDNAPPING, KILLING THE CIVILIANS; THE JAIL WITH 10000 PALESTINIANS ETC
I HOPE YOU CAN DO SUCH A VIDEO AND TH-cam WILL NOT MAKE YOU PROBLEMS!!! GOD BLESS YOU
