Thanks.
You might find this interesting as it goes into the hypocrisy of the situation.
You'll probably be better off asking this sort of question in one of the Palestine comms, where you have a more nuanced discussion about how Hezbollah was created, their militant actions against Zionism, part of the Lebanese Parliament, and what the flag can mean to different groups; instead of the thought terminating cliché of 'they are considered a terrorist organization by the government and therefore any support of them in supporting terrorism.' Despite the unconditional support these governments have for Israel, who by any definition of terrorism has done far far more magnitudes of such than any resistance organization created as a by product of the violent settler colonialism of Zionism. Plus, western governments have historically brandished any resistance against colonialism as terrorists, including the IRA, Vietcong, FLN, ANC (Nelson Mandala), and many more.
Hezbollah's actions in Syria are definitely unacceptable, their actions against Israel is another matter entirely
