Holocaust Day yesterday reminds me that there are still terrorists whose aim is to destroy Israel and its 6 million Jews who live there. We've already lost 6 million in the Holocaust. We say, NEVER AGAIN!
Hezbollah uses the Lebanese population as human shields, hiding its weapons and terrorists within civilian infrastructure." That's just what the Palestinians have done in their rejection of the right of Israel to exist, especially those led by Hamas in Gaza.
Most every country except Russia and China considers Hezbollah a terrorist organization except the following, and seeing who it is tells you much about them and their beliefs and why the USA is leery of such countries:

| Hasssan Nasrallah born in Lebanon on August 31, 1960 is the third and current Secretary General of the Lebanese political and paramilitary party Hezbollah since his predecessor, Abbas al-Musawi, was assassinated by the Israel Defense Forces in February 1992 Said to be a direct descendant of Mohammad, under his tenure, Hezbollah has been designated a terrorist organization, either wholly or in part, by the United States and other nations, as well as by the European Union. Russia rejects the claims that Hezbollah is a terrorist organization, and considers Hezbollah a legitimate sociopolitical organization. The People's Republic of China remains neutral, and maintains contacts with Hezbollah. |

The following countries do not consider Hezbollah a terrorist organization:
 Algeria | Algeria refused to designate Hezbollah as a terrorist organization | [110] |
 China | The People's Republic of China remains neutral, and maintains contacts with Hezbollah. | [citation needed] |
 Cuba | Hezbollah operates a base in Cuba.[111] | [citation needed] |
 Iran | [4] | |
 Iraq | [112] | |
 North Korea | Allegedly supports Hezbollah. | [113] |
 Russia | Considers Hezbollah a legitimate sociopolitical organization. | [citation needed] |
 Switzerland | Switzerland considers as terrorist only those organizations which are in the terrorist list of the United Nations. | [65] |
 Syria | [114] | |
 Venezuela | Only Maduro government | [74] |
United States
"The United States believes Hezbollah is an organization with ties to terrorism. The United States officially support the peaceful restructuring of Israel, and reconciliation with the Palestinian territories, (i.e. West Bank and the Gaza Strip). Due to their terrorist activities, neither Hezbollah or Hamas have been invited to be a part of any peace process led by the United States.
1983: 241 US servicemen killed in Hezbollah bombing of the US Marine base in Beirut, Lebanon.
Arab League
On 11 March 2016, the Arab League designated Hezbollah a terrorist organization during a meeting of Arab League foreign ministers at the organization's headquarters in Egypt's capital Cairo. Nearly all 22 Arab League members supported the decision, except Lebanon, Syria, Algeria and Iraq which expressed "reservations" about the decision." Perhaps this is because
Hezbollah is an arm of Iran, a Shia country and the Arab League are Sunnis. Sunni and Shia are two sides of the same coin or of the Islamic religion.
Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement
There have been American claims that Hezbollah has engaged in joint operations with the Sunni Palestinian militant group Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement. The Islamic Jihad Movement has sent "its gratitude to the brothers in Hezbollah, the Islamic resistance in South Lebanon. Particularly Hassan Nasrallah, for their stance and support, be it financial, military or moral support".
Israel
Hezbollah is one of the most imminent threats facing Israel. Here's why:
1. They have dug tunnels to infiltrate and attack Israel.
2. They are capable of launching 1,500 rockets per day into Israel.
3. They have 6,000 to 8,000 fighters in Syria.
4. They have 45,000 active and reserve fighters.
5. They have an estimated 150,000 rockets and missiles capable of striking anywhere in Israel.
6. They have converted as many as 240 Shiite villages in southern Lebanon into fighting zones.
1992: 29 people killed in Hezbollah bombing of Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
1994: 85 people killed in Hezbollah bombing of Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires.
2006: 165 Israeli civilians and soldiers killed during war with Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Palestinians: Remember the 2-state solution? 70 years has passed and they still are attacking Israel; not the country anyone would want as a nearby neighbor:
Gaza, ruled by Hamas terrorists:
Hezbollah is a role model to Hamas in terms of its military, political, and media operations. The two groups share common tactics and common goals as well as close ties to Iran. According to an Israeli military source, Hezbollah assists Hamas with bomb production. Nasrallah has declared his support for the al-Aqsa Intifada.
In 2013, Hezbollah had ordered Hamas to leave Lebanon, due to Hamas support for opposition forces fighting against the Syrian President Bashar Assad. Hamas and the Lebanese Islamic Jihad denied these reports.
European Union: Netherlands and Germany have not always loved each other, especially since WWII.
Netherlands: Hezbollah is a terrorist group. The Netherlands has proscribed the organisation fully.
Germany: however, initially only designated the military wing of Hezbollah as terrorist but not the political wing. A 2018 research initiative found strong links between Hezbollah and illegal activity in Germany and this garnered a substantial response from the German public, asking to condemn Hezbollah's political wing as well. Later on, the entire organization was proscribed in Germany on 19 December 2019. Both wings answer to the same leader.
United Nations: There are two primary non-State groups, namely the Taliban and Al-Qaida, which have been designated "terrorist" organizations by the Security Council.
