And imagine the leaders who control those weapons had one stated purpose: to destroy you\u2014to literally wipe your country off the map.<\/p>\n<p>What would do you?<\/p>\n<p>Strike first and try to destroy all the weapons? Set up an anti-missile defense system? Or would you ignore the problem and hope it goes away?<\/p>\n<p>You can now stop imagining, because these are real-life questions that one country in the world has to ask itself every day.<\/p>\n<p>That country is Israel.<\/p>\n<p>And the leaders who control these missiles (and the number I gave is a low-ball estimate) belong to an organization known as Hezbollah\u2014Arabic for \u201cParty of God.\u201d Moreover, they\u2019re not rogue terrorists. They actually run a country\u2014Lebanon. You should know something about them.<\/p>\n<p>Hezbollah first burst onto the international scene in 1983, when they simultaneously bombed the United States Marine barracks and French paratrooper base in Beirut. 241 Americans\u2014the largest loss of American military personnel in a single incident since World War II\u2014and 58 Frenchmen were killed in the attacks.<\/p>\n<p>But this was only the beginning.<\/p>\n<p>More bombings followed, killing 24 people at the U.S. Embassy annex in Beirut in 1984; killing 85 at the Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires in 1994; and killing 19 at a housing complex for American oil executives in Saudi Arabia in 1996.<\/p>\n<p>In 1985, Hezbollah terrorists highjacked TWA Flight 847, during which they beat passengers, separated those with Jewish-sounding names, and murdered U.S. Navy diver Robert Stethem.<\/p>\n<p>Hezbollah also supplied roadside bombs and helped organize groups who committed terror attacks against American forces during the Iraq War.<\/p>\n<p>They routinely assassinated political rivals, most notably the former prime minister of Lebanon, Rafic Hariri in 2005.<\/p>\n<p>They provoked numerous border clashes with Israel, which escalated into a war in 2006 during which Hezbollah launched thousands of rockets at civilian targets.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Hezbollah is a military force, a political party, a terrorist group and a transnational criminal organization engaged in drug trafficking, money laundering, and arms smuggling.<\/p>\n<p>But the most important thing to remember about Hezbollah is not Hezbollah; it\u2019s Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Hezbollah is an extension of Iran and it operates under its command.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t take my word for it. Take it from the man who has been running Hezbollah for the last twenty-five years and is now the most powerful man in Lebanon, Hassan Nasrallah.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what he said in 2016:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are open about the fact that Hezbollah\u2019s budget, its income, its expenses, everything it eats and drinks, its weapons and rockets, come from the Islamic Republic of Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s pretty much always been the case. Indeed, Hezbollah is the demon child of the Iranian Revolution.<\/p>\n<p>Its founders were Iranian revolutionaries who operated out of Lebanon in the 1970s. After overthrowing the Shah of Iran in 1979, they set up Hezbollah in Lebanon. This is why in the early days, Hezbollah referred to itself as \u201cthe Islamic revolution in Lebanon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That definition still fits.<\/p>\n<p>In the 1990s, Hezbollah added politics to its resume.<br \/>\nThis led many scholars to claim that the group had abandoned its terrorist past and its subservience to Iran.<\/p>\n<p>If only.<\/p>\n<p>For the complete script, visit <a class=\"yt-simple-endpoint style-scope yt-formatted-string\" spellcheck=\"false\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?redir_token=HNC4YwVTRGv0M1-F_zynLuJqa8h8MTUzNzU5Mzg3MUAxNTM3NTA3NDcx&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.prageru.com%2Fvideos%2Fwhat-hezbollah&amp;event=video_description&amp;v=8DX-hjPYwjs\">https:\/\/www.prageru.com\/videos\/what-h&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"always-shown\" class=\"style-scope ytd-metadata-row-container-renderer\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"collapsible\" class=\"style-scope ytd-metadata-row-container-renderer\">\n<h4 id=\"title\" class=\"style-scope ytd-metadata-row-renderer\">Kategori<\/h4>\n<div id=\"content\" class=\"style-scope ytd-metadata-row-renderer\"><a class=\"yt-simple-endpoint style-scope yt-formatted-string\" spellcheck=\"false\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC3yA8nDwraeOfnYfBWun83g\">Utbildning<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr style=\"height: 15px; background: #d0e6fa; width: 710px;\" \/>\n<div id=\"content\" class=\" content-alignment&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;br \/&gt; \">\n<div id=\"watch-description\" class=\"yt-uix-button-panel\">\n<div id=\"watch-description-text\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><em>Zawarto\u015b\u0107 publikowanych artyku\u0142\u00f3w i materia\u0142\u00f3w nie reprezentuje pogl\u0105d\u00f3w ani opinii Reunion&#8217;68,<\/em><em><br \/>\nani te\u017c webmastera Blogu Reunion&#8217;68, chyba ze jest to wyra\u017anie zaznaczone.<br \/>\nTwoje uwagi, linki, w\u0142asne artyku\u0142y lub wiadomo\u015bci prze\u015blij na adres:<br \/>\n<\/em><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong><em><a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"mailto:webmaster@reunion68.com\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">webmaster@reunion68.com<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr style=\"width: 710px;\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Is Hezbollah? \u00a0\u00a0 PragerU When listing the world\u2019s most notorious terrorist organizations, why is it that Al-Qaeda, ISIS and Boko Haram so quickly spring to mind, while Hezbollah is frequently forgotten?
