Using key terms and concepts from the reading and examples from the video, answer the following questions in a balanced way.
Hezbollah – terrorist organization or freedom fighter – what is your view? Support your position.
Hezbollah is heavily armed, should the US be concerned? They claim not to attack Americans – yet they have killed US soldiers and kidnapped Americans – what is your view on this claim by Hezbollah?
Explain your understanding of why Israel occupied Lebanon.
Hezbollah has been said to assist marginalized Shiite Muslims in many ways – providing aid and support. Given the conflict between the Shiite and Sunni Muslins, it could be said the Sunni Muslims have had a hand in marginalizing the Shiites. What is your view on this?
Make sure to:
Write a short essay or paragraph of at least 300 words.
