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. 

Use concrete examples/details and avoid generalities.

Address all questions.

Use proper grammar and punctuation.

Remember to cite your sources.
