>>>Calling Hezbollah a “terrorist” organization is a mistake. It is a formal armed force that is under Iran’s de facto command. They are no more terrorists the Israeli artillery or air force units – the only difference is Hezbollah primarily targets civilians,

Targeting civilians is what makes a group a terrorist group. While the far left likes to the only difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter is which side you are on, the actual differences are that (1) terrorists target civilians , freedom fighters target the opposing military (2)freedom fighters have a very clear freedom oriented demand, terrorists are more vague about what peace terms (if any) they would expect and look at everything as part of an ongoing struggle (3)terrorists do not envision a state that gives freedom to everyone who isn’t looking to opposes them . By all those definitions Hezbollah is a terrorist group
