The parallel works - Hezbollah is like Sinn Fein/IRA - political/civilian wing and a military wing. And Sinn Fein has MPs (never set foot in Westminster though) and does community work...like Hamas and others.

This military wing has been classed terrorist by the EU, US and Uk and others. Interestingly the UN hasn't declared them a terrorist organisation, but has called for them to disband.

The idea though that all civilians are fair game cos they are a charity and do community work is insane though. Or that everyone in Lebanon is complicit in their work...
