The media keeps referring to Hezbollah's "military wing" as if it is separate from the organization itself. The implication is that when there is an attack on their pagers, for example, it is an illegal attack on non-military targets and that Hezbollah's presence in the Lebanese parliament gives it immunity from attack.
But Hezbollah says otherwise.
Its 2009 manifesto speaks about how it has evolved politically, but in no way does it distinguish between politics and terrorism. They are both aimed at the same goals, under the euphemism of "resistance."
The Resistance project has grown from a liberation power to a balance and confrontation power and then to a defense and deterrence one besides its political internal role as an influencing pillar in building the just and capable state.
(The entire document is hardly ever read even by "experts." But it is a blueprint for turning Lebanon into Iran.)
Since then, Hezbollah officials have been crystal clear that there is no "political" or "military" wings to Hezbollah. Hezbollah spokesman Ibrahim Mousawi has said, “Hezbollah is a single, large organization. We have no wings that are separate from one another.”
"Each of us is a combat soldier when the call of jihad demands it," Hezbollah has said.
Hassan Nasrallah himself reacted to the European declaration of its "military wing" as terrorist by responding, "The story of military wing and political wing is the work of the British."
Yet the media still insists that there is a separate military wing, independent of the organization.
Wishful thinking is not a substitute for reality. Hezbollah is terrorist, period.
