All I asked was a simple question...besides Israel and the US, what countries have officially listed Hezbollah as a terrorist organization?

western countries i think...google just says 'western nations'. those include europe, right?

middle eastern countries think they are heroic, but tha'ts not surprising.

edit: found this in wiki

Six countries, including the United States, have designated part or all of Hezbollah as a terrorist organization.

they list the US, canada, israel, UK, netherlands, australia, and the european union.

if you want to think they are a resistance then you join the ranks of iran and syria...is that really where you want to be?

I think it's stupid when people call certain groups "terror organizations" when it's only a handful of countries labeling them as such.

even the bbc calls them terrorists:
For many years, Hezbollah was synonymous with terror, suicide bombings and kidnappings. In 1983, militants who went on to join Hezbollah ranks carried out a suicide bombing attack that killed 241 US marines in Beirut.

Russia doesn't because they have such good ties with Iran

[motivez]

There was a list posted with all of the Governments who list Hezbollah as a terrorist organization

Many of the ones who do "in part", list maybe 1 or 2 people..

Like I said, that's the main difference. They don't have anyone to report it to. It doesn't mean they should be condemned, though.

Guilt by assosciation is bullshit.

they didn't report it, they made them the leaders of their country

Not everyone who's died or will die in this conflict voted for Hezbollah, but even if they did, don't you think bringing them into the political process is a better solution and trying to talk about issues is a better solution?

If not, why did we allow someone like Al Sadr to do so in Iraq, after his militia killed Americans?

We did it because we realize that violence begets more violence, and long term solutions require diplomacy and all that comes with it.

not everyone we bombed in germany and japan during WWII supported the regimes in place. I really don't think talking will ever solve this, war will.
